“…The importance of this differentiated approach has been shown empirically in previous work: need satisfaction and need frustration were often differentially associated with well-being and ill-being (e.g., B. Chen et al, 2015;Neubauer, Kramer, & Schmiedek, 2022;Schmidt et al, 2020); furthermore, on the psychometric level, a six-factor model with differentiation of need satisfaction and need frustration for each of the three needs often fit the data best (e.g., Costa et al, 2018;Heissel et al, 2018;Neubauer & Voss, 2018). We will consider this differentiation in the present work and predict, following Vansteenkiste and Ryan (2013), that need satisfaction is primarily associated with higher well-being (positive affect), whereas need frustration is primarily associated with higher ill-being (negative affect).…”
