“…Research into autonomy-support has mainly focused on the point of view of the recipient of support. For example, participants have been asked to report their perceptions of autonomy support provided to them by various types of relationship partners such as their supervisor (e.g., Gillet et al 2012), teacher (e.g., Guay et al 2001), coach (e.g., Pelletier et al 2001), parent (e.g., Brenning et al 2015), romantic partner (e.g., Carbonneau et al 2015), or best friend (e.g., Demir et al 2011). Only a few studies focused on the point of view of the provider of autonomy support: for example, Solstad et al (2015) examined the degree to which coaches reported supporting the autonomy of their athletes, and Mageau et al 2017examined the degree to which mothers reported being supportive of their children's autonomy.…”
