Self-Determination Theory: Your Motivation in Your Hands

In this video i discuss Self-Determination Theory (SDT)- a framework for understanding human motivation and personality, focusing on intrinsic and extrinsic sources of motivation and their impact on cognitive, social, and personal development. It emphasises that fulfilling psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness fosters high-quality motivation and well-being, while thwarting these needs can significantly harm individual wellness and performance.
