Self Determination Theory | Vibepedia

Self Determination Theory (SDT) is a psychological framework that explains human behavior and motivation, proposed by Edward Deci and Richard Ryan. It suggests that people have three innate psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. SDT has been applied in various fields, including education, sports, and healthcare, to promote motivation, well-being, and performance. Researchers like Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and Daniel Pink have built upon SDT, exploring its connections to flow, intrinsic motivation, and human flourishing.
