Self-Determination Theory is a theory of wellness, motivation, and personal development. It describes both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, as well as provides a model for individuals to have a more positive well-being. The theory focuses on three basic psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness (Ryan & Deci, 2019).
