Question

Deci and Ryan (1985, 2001) have proposed that there are three fundamental needs that are required for human growth and fulfillment: relatedness, autonomy, and competence. Susan predicts that students who have these needs met in their psychology class feel happier and more satisfied with the class. She collects data and finds that students who feel more related and competent do feel happier but that feeling more autonomous does not seem to matter. Susan thinks that maybe autonomy is only necessary when people are in situations in which they are not being evaluated. Susan’s prediction that students who have all three needs met will experience greater satisfaction with their psychology class is an example of which of the following?
A) Basic applied ycle
B) Journal journalism cycle
C) theory data cycle
D) peer-review cycle

Answer 1

Answer:

Theory-data cycle                                        

Explanation:

A theory is a statement or an array of statements, that explains general principles of how a particular variable is related to another variable.

In Theory Data Cycle, the scientists try to collect data to change, or update their theories, and to test them. The scientists usually take systematic steps to find the solution to the problem.
