✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Detailed Psychological Analysis
When studying Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and Deci & Ryan's Self-Determination Theory (SDT), it becomes evident that Maslow categorized human motivation hierarchically. Individuals move toward growth needs (like self-actualization) only after deficiency needs (such as physiological and safety needs) are satisfied.
On the other hand, Self-Determination Theory posits that intrinsic motivation and psychological well-being are dependent on three innate and universal psychological needs:
- Autonomy: The need to feel in control of one's own actions and goals.
- Competence: The need to master challenges and feel effective in one's environment.
- Relatedness: The need to experience a sense of belonging and attachment with others.
Therefore, Option A correctly captures the scientific and theoretical relationship between these two foundational motivation theories.
