Assessing basic/fundamental psychological need fulfillment: systematic mapping and review of existing scales to foster cumulative science.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Because the fulfillment of basic/fundamental psychological needs affects people's motivation and well-being, measuring the degree to which these needs are met is of interest to researchers across various domains. Although numerous self-assessment tools have been developed, no recent comprehensive reviews exist, hindering cumulative scientific progress. The present systematic review aimed to identify and analyze the main approaches to developing self-report scales for assessing basic/fundamental psychological need fulfillment. The objective is to inform readers interested in selecting instruments for their studies and those intending to develop new scales.

Methods

Following PRISMA, we conducted a search of Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and ProQuest in August 2023
