“…Consistent with this perspective, several studies have shown that personality variables could moderate relations between social factors, need satisfaction/frustration, and outcomes, although effect sizes were modest (Schüler, Wegner, & Knechtle, 2013;Mabbe, Soenenes, Vansteenkiste, & Van Leeuwen, 2016;Mabbe et al, 2018;Van Assche et al, 2018). This moderate viewpoint of universalism is consistent with the moderating effects of openness to experience on the relations between need satisfaction/frustration and well-being.…”

The purpose of this research was to test novelty as a candidate basic psychological need according to the inclusion criteria established within basic psychological needs theory (BPNT). Two cross-sectional studies with 303 (Mage = 33.50, SD = 12.95; 58.41% female) and 598 (Mage = 35.47, SD = 11.89; 54.18% female) Spanish adults were conducted in physical exercise and general life contexts with the following aims: (1) to analyze relations between novelty satisfaction/frustration and well-being outcomes; (2) to examine the mediating role of motivation (autonomous, controlled, and amotivation) in these relations; and (3) to study whether these associations held regardless of the importance participants attached to the need for novelty, and their level of openness to new experiences. In Study 1, satisfaction of the need for novelty positively and directly predicted autonomous motivation and vitality in physical exercise, beyond the three existing basic needs. It also indirectly predicted enjoyment and vitality through autonomous motivation. There was little evidence that importance ratings for need for novelty moderated these relations. In Study 2, novelty satisfaction positively predicted, and novelty frustration negatively predicted, vitality, life satisfaction, and meaning in life. Openness to experience strengthened the relations between novelty satisfaction/frustration and outcomes. A similar pattern of effects was found for the three basic psychological needs. Results provide preliminary support of novelty as an additional candidate need in BPNT.

“…Because the number of potentially relevant personality differences is extremely large, much as the number of contextual supports and thwarts, the literature on personality by need‐relevant contextual conditions is large, and only selectively reviewed herein. Directly considering the role of Big‐Five traits, recent studies have begun addressing whether personality moderates the association between psychologically controlling parenting and outcomes, with adolescent‐perceived and parent‐reported differences in parenting being studied both at the level of individual differences (Mabbe, Soenens, Vansteenkiste, & Van Leeuwen, ) and at the level of daily, within‐person fluctuations (Mabbe, Vansteenkiste, et al, ). These studies have shown that the number of moderating effects (across different outcomes and across informants) is limited.…”

Objective This special issue focuses on self‐determination theory (SDT) as an integrative framework for the wider field of personality research. In this commentary our aims include: reflecting on the utility and strengths of SDT as such a general framework and responding to the various contributions in this issue regarding their use of SDT as a guiding, complementary, or contrasting framework. Methods and Results We describe how SDT has developed organically and conservatively from “within” based on the emerging patterns of evidence, as well through the ongoing challenges from other models and frameworks. We then discuss each of the various contributions to this special issue, addressing themes that include SDT’s breadth of methods, and its relevance to topics such as narcissism, wisdom, individual differences, Big‐Five traits, and the neuropsychology of motivation, among others. Across these discussions, we highlight fruitful avenues for research and cross‐fertilization across the fields of personality, development, motivation, and neuroscience. At the same time, we counter some claims made about SDT, and forward certain cautions regarding the integration of SDT and other personality frameworks and models. Conclusions We conclude by revisiting the value of broad theory, and SDT in particular, for coordinating complex research findings concerning motivation, personality development and wellness across multiple levels of analysis and, perhaps more importantly, for pointing researchers to the right questions within today’s prolific empiricism.
