The Effect of Satisfaction of Basic Psychological Needs on Sporting Behavior in Physical Education

Abstract

In order to examine the basic psychological needs of the students, 372 students studying in secondary schools were selected. In the research, it was found that there were differences between the students according to age, gender, participation in out-of-school activities, and social identification variables. As a result, it can be said that there was a relationship between the satisfaction of basic psychological needs of individuals and sporting behaviour in physical education.
