The finding that need frustration predicts incremental variance in maladjustment above and beyond low need satisfaction was confirmed in other life domains, such as work, education, romantic relationships, and exercising.
“This work in the sport context was quickly confirmed in other life domains, such as work (Trepanier et al. 2016), education (e.g., Jang et al. 2016a), romantic relationships (e.g., Kindt et al. 2016;Vanhee et al. 2016), and exercising (e.g., Teixeira et al. 2018).”

Need frustration relates positively to amotivation, controlled motivation, and disengagement, and negatively to autonomous motivation.
“in the domain of physical education, Haerens et al. (2015) found basic need frustration to relate positively to amotivation, reflecting discouragement and helplessness.Following students throughout an entire school year, Bartholomew et al. (2018) reported that semester-to-semester variation in students' need frustration covaried positively with amotivation and controlled motivation, and negatively”

Among the direct costs associated with basic psychological need frustration are loss of motivation, disengagement, and experiences of ill-being and distress.

People can get trapped in a negative vicious cycle, with children's disaffection and defiance eroding socializers' need supportiveness or eliciting more need-thwarting responses.
“Much as such a positive spiral can unfold over time, people can also get trapped in a negative vicious cycle, with children's disaffection and defiance eroding socializers' need supportiveness (e.g., Vansteenkiste et al. 2014) or eliciting more need-thwarting responses (e.g., Jang et al. 2016a;Soenens et al. 2008).”

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.
