On Psychological Growth and Vulnerability: Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Need Frustration as a Unifying Principle
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent research indicates how contextual need support and the experience of need satisfaction promote well-being and different growth manifestations (e.g., intrinsic motivation, internalization), as well as a rapidly growing body of work relating need thwarting and need frustration to ill-being, pursuit of need substitutes, and various forms of maladaptive functioning.

A Self-determination Theory Perspective on Student Engagement
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent classroom-based, longitudinally designed research reveals three new and important functions of student engagement, namely, that student engagement fully mediates and explains the motivation-to-achievement relation, that changes in engagement produce changes in the learning environment, and that change in engagement produces changes in motivation, as students' behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and agentic engagements represent actions taken not only to learn but also to meet psychological needs.

The Challenges of Defining and Measuring Student Engagement in Science
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss and work toward addressing conceptual and instrumentation issues related to engagement, with particular interest in engagement in the domain of science learning, and suggest a complementary approach that places engagement instrumentation on a continuum.

How students create motivationally supportive learning environments for themselves: The concept of agentic engagement.

Cutoff criteria for fit indexes in covariance structure analysis : Conventional criteria versus new alternatives
Li-tze Hu,Peter M. Bentler +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the adequacy of the conventional cutoff criteria and several new alternatives for various fit indexes used to evaluate model fit in practice were examined, and the results suggest that, for the ML method, a cutoff value close to.95 for TLI, BL89, CFI, RNI, and G...

Richard M. Ryan,Edward L. Deci +1 more
TL;DR: Research guided by self-determination theory has focused on the social-contextual conditions that facilitate versus forestall the natural processes of self-motivation and healthy psychological development, leading to the postulate of three innate psychological needs--competence, autonomy, and relatedness.

Comparative fit indexes in structural models
TL;DR: A new coefficient is proposed to summarize the relative reduction in the noncentrality parameters of two nested models and two estimators of the coefficient yield new normed (CFI) and nonnormed (FI) fit indexes.
