“…Further, these concrete experiences and behaviors should be salient in people's natural language when asked to reflect about their most (dis)satisfying experiences (Jang et al 2009;Sheldon et al 2001), to recall significant memories (Philippe et al 2011), or to engage in a life review (Bauer and McAdams 2000). Qualitative studies are ideally suited to examine whether needs-based experiences naturally emerge as part of individuals' narratives (e.g., Dieleman et al 2018;Quested et al 2018). To illustrate, semi-structured interviews with Singaporean atrisk-youth revealed that they highly valued satisfying basic needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness, yet they also noted frequent experiences of need frustration (Nagpaul and Chen 2019).…”

The study of basic psychological needs has witnessed a strong revival, in part spurred by Basic Psychological Need Theory (BPNT), one of the six mini-theories within Self-Determination Theory. Empirical studies on BPNT have increased exponentially since the millennium turn, leading to refinements and extensions in theory. In this contribution we review these two decades of research in order to introduce two special issues on BPNT. We first discuss key criteria that define and identify a basic need within BPNT. We then review several need-relevant themes, highlighting advancements and trends that characterize contemporary research on BPNT. Specifically, we address potential extensions of the shortlist of basic psychological needs, the role of psychological need frustration in increasing vulnerability to maladjustment, the study of the interface between individuals' psychological and physical needs (e.g., sleep, sex, hunger), novel insights into critical need-supportive and need-thwarting practices, and the universality (versus variability) of effects of need satisfactions and supports across demographics, psychological characteristics, and cultural contexts. We also situate each of the 19 contributions that appear in this special double-issue on BPNT within these themes, while suggesting avenues for further research on the role of basic psychological needs in motivation, adjustment, and wellness.

“…Unfortunately, studies examining this interplay have been solely conducted among parents of typically developing children. Examining these relations among parents of adolescents with mental health concerns may be particularly interesting because, as Dieleman, Moyson et al (2018) recently suggested, they have to cope with demands that may jeopardize their psychological needs for autonomy (e.g., parenting overload, restrictions of time, financial constraints, etc. ), competence (e.g., reduced self-efficacy, feelings of guilt, struggles to manage difficult child's behaviors, etc.…”

Framed on Self-Determination Theory, this study sought to examine the interplay between parents' and adolescents' need satisfaction and need frustration, as well as to investigate the potential mediating role of autonomy-supportive and psychologically controlling parenting. Whether parents' dispositional mindfulness moderated the relation between parental need frustration and parenting was also investigated. Participants were 213 clinically referred adolescents between 12 and 17 years (M age = 14.36; 55.9% girls) and 225 parents (85.3% mothers). Findings from structural equation models revealed a bright and a dark pathway linking parents' and adolescents' need-based experiences through parenting. Specifically, parental need satisfaction was positively related to autonomy-supportive parenting, which, in turn, contributed to greater adolescents' need satisfaction. In contrast, parents' need frustration yielded a positive association with psychologically controlling parenting, which, in turn, positively related to adolescents' need frustration. Latent moderation analyses also indicated that parents' mindfulness played a role as a moderator of the relationship between parental need frustration and psychological control; the association was attenuated when parents reported higher levels of mindfulness. Implications for the promotion of positive parenting among families of adolescents with mental health problems are outlined.

“…Inability to manage both responsibilities due to an inflexible work schedule is a major factor for parents to resign. Parents of children with ASD need to create a more systematic pattern of care, in order to focus more on their children with ASD (Dieleman, 2018). This also aids in the care of their children with ASD, allowing them to adapt and be exposed to more social interactions.…”

Generally, there is a public awareness that parents of children with autism syndrome disorder (ASD) face significant challenges in raising their children. This research aims to investigate the challenges and problems faced by these parents in the workplace. A qualitative study with purposive sampling was implemented. Three informants (N=3) were recruited from a family support group and went through an in-depth interview twice using a semi-structured format. The data were recorded, transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis. Among themes that emerged from the data were lack of exposure to ASD, peer views on parents of children with ASD, employer's concern for these parents, and cooperation between co-workers and parents of children with ASD. This study provides ideas and views for both employers and employees in Malaysia who deal with parents of children with ASD to guide workplace support and pull-down obstacles for these parents. This study is hoped to help the community, government agencies, and non-governmental organisations continue to pay attention to and assist parents of children with ASD in the workplace in order to raise awareness about ASD and encourage parents of children with ASD to continue working without worrying about childcare.
