  • The distinction between need satisfaction and need frustration led to the development of two-dimensional need scales within BPNT, such as the Balanced Measure of Psychological Needs (BMPN) and the Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale (BPNSFS).

    “This distinction has led to the development of twodimensional need scales within BPNT, such as the Balanced Measure of Psychological Needs (BMPN; Sheldon and Hilpert 2012) and the Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale (BPNSFS; Chen et al. 2015a).”

  • Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction has been measured with various tools, including the Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale, the Balanced Measure of Psychological Needs, and the Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction Scale.

    “BPN Satisfaction has to date been measured with various tools, such as the Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale (BPNSFS; B. Chen et al., 2015), the Balanced Measure of Psychological Needs (BMPNs; Sheldon & Hilpert, 2012), and the Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction Scale (BPNS; Ilardi et al., 1993).”

    From Development and Validation of a Basic Psychological Needs Scale for Technology Use (2024) · cites this paper as Sheldon & Hilpert, 2012

  • No proper Basic Psychological Need scale adapted to the technology context has to date been rigorously developed and validated.

    “Since no proper BPN scale that is adapted to the technology context has to date been rigorously developed and validated, studies have used individually adapted versions of existing BPN scales (e.g., B. Chen et al., 2015;Moradbakhti et al., 2022;Sheldon & Hilpert, 2012), thereby impeding comparability of results across studies.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
