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. This scenario is an example of which scientific cycle? O Basic-applied cycle O Journal-journalism cycle O Theory-data cycle O Peer-review cycle

Explanation / Answer

Answer is optionC) Theory Data Cycle

Susan's research can help in updating what Deci and Ryan's Self Determination theory says about autonomous needs. There are 4 scientific research cycles-

1.Basic -Applied-: research used to solve real world problems and real world problems leading to research on a general concept.

2.Journal -Journalism Cycle- When scientific information is shared with common public through media reports and articles that are easy to understand.

3.Theory -data cycle - research which leads to new information being found or retesting of a theory following which the theory is altered or updated to include the results.

4.Peer -Review Cycle- Researchers share their findings with their peers by writing papers in journals.
