Abstract

The purpose of this issue of JCDP is to contribute to the expansion of research in the theoretical field of Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and, in particular, to the deepening of the role of the satisfaction and frustration of basic psychological needs in the developmental trajectories. Through an organized collection of mini studies, conducted by young psychology students, we aim to expand knowledge on SDT by taking into consideration more social environments and different levels of analysis.
