Subclaims¶

q3 i? Variance in external regulation explained by need satisfaction was negligible (R2 = .004) in relative weight analysis. → Bureau 2022 q3 i? Small meta-analytic associations between both autonomy support sources and introjected regulation did not hold when needs and autonomy support predicted introjection within a single model. → Bureau 2022 (2)

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3

Relative weight analysis of the three psychological needs predicting motivation types from pooled meta-analytic correlations. For external regulation, "variance explained by needs was negligible (R2 = .004), making the relative weight analysis meaningless"; the MASEM models likewise gave external regulation a mean R2 of .01.

"For external regulation, variance explained by needs was negligible (R2 = .004), making the relative weight analysis meaningless."

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3

The discussion of the MASEM results reports that small bivariate autonomy-support associations with introjected regulation "did not hold when needs and autonomy support predicted introjection within a single model", with only small consistent positive indirect effects on introjected regulation.

"despite meta-analytic correlations showing a small association between both autonomy support sources and introjected regulation, these associations did not hold when needs and autonomy support predicted introjection within a single model."
