Using Self Determination as a framework, the purpose of the study was to examine the relationships between basic psychological needs, motivational regulations, self-esteem, subjective vitality, and social physique anxiety in physical education. One thousand and eighty two high school students aged between 14 and 19 [mean (M) = 15.89 ± 0.95 years] from six public high schools participated to the study. Students' basic psychological needs: motivational regulations, subjective vitality and self-esteem served as positive indicators, while social physique anxiety was a negative indicator of psychological well-being. Structural equation modelling results revealed that students' motivational regulations mediated the relationship between basic psychological needs and psychological well-being. Intrinsic motivation negatively predicted social physique anxiety and positively predicted subjective vitality. Amotivation positively predicted social physique anxiety and negatively predicted subjective vitality. Identified regulation and external regulation positively predicted subjective vitality. Results supported the tenets of Self Determination Theory (SDT) and suggested that satisfying adolescents' basic psychological needs in physical education will promote their psychological well-being.

“…No obstante, la TAD reconoce que, además del bienestar y el crecimiento psicológico, las personas pueden desplegar patrones conductuales, cognitivos o afectivos que reflejen un funcionamiento no óptimo, reflejando así el lado más oscuro de su existencia (Pyszczynski, Greenberg, y Solomon, 2000;. En esta línea, más recientemente investigaciones basadas en la TAD han analizado las relaciones negativas entre la satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas y diferentes conductas desadaptativas (Hodge, Lonsdale, y Ng, 2008;Thøgersen-Ntoumani y Ntoumanis, 2007;Thøgersen-Ntoumani, Ntoumanis, Cumming, y Chatzisarantis, 2011;Van den Broeck, Vansteenkiste, Witte, Soenens, y Lens, 2010). Con ello, este grupo de investigaciones ha comenzado a proporcionar evidencias indirectas que apoyarían la hipótesis de que la frustración de las necesidades tiene efectos negativos sobre la salud y el bienestar de las personas.…”

RESUMEN:El objetivo de este estudio fue validar la versión española de la Escala de las Necesidades Psicológicas (EFNP) en el contexto del ejercicio físico. Una muestra de 509 estudiantes universitarios participaron en el estudio, analizando las propiedades psicométricas de la EFNP a través de diferentes análisis. Los resultados ofrecieron apoyo tanto a una estructura de tres factores relacionados (i.e., frustración de necesidad de autonomía, relación y competencia) como a un modelo de orden superior donde las tres subescalas conforman un constructo denominado frustración de las necesidades. La estructura de ambos modelos se mostró invariante por género. Se obtuvieron valores alfa de Cronbach iguales o superiores a .70 en las subescalas y unos adecuados niveles de estabilidad temporal. Además, los estudiantes que informaron mayores niveles de ansiedad físico-social obtuvieron puntuaciones más altas en las tres subescalas respecto al grupo que informó menores niveles de ansiedad físico-social. Los resultados de este estudio proporcionan evidencias de fiabilidad y validez de la EFNP en el contexto español. Palabras clave: teoría de la autodeterminación, necesidades psicológicas, escala, propiedades psicométricas. Spanish validation of the psychological needs thwarting scale in exerciseABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to validate the Spanish version of the Psychological Needs Thwarting Scale (PNTS). A sample of 509 university students took part in this research and psychometric properties of PNTS were analyzed through different analysis. The results supported both a first-order three-factor model (i.e., thwarting of autonomy, relatedness and competence) and a higher-order model (i.e. three subscales conforming a construct named psychological need thwarting). The structure of both models was invariant across gender. Alpha values equal to o higher than .70 and suitable levels of temporal stability were obtained. Furthermore, students reporting higher levels of socialphysique anxiety had higher scores in all subscales than the group reporting lower levels of social-physique anxiety. The findings of this study provided reliability and validity for the PNTS in a Spanish context.
