9) RESEARCH STUDY 1.1: 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 hap-
pier 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.
Deci and Ryan’s general statement of how the three needs are related to growth and fulfillment is an ex-
ample of which of the following?
a. A theory
b. A hypothesis
c. Data
d. Research

fied with the class. She collects data and finds that students who feel more related and competent do feel

psychology class is an example of which of the following?
