Abstract

Background

Basic psychological needs are universal sources of mental growth and development.

Purpose

This study investigated the relationship between basic psychological needs and emotional and behavioral problems in middle school students.

Methodology

This study adopted a cross-sectional and correlational research design. The sample consisted of 1099 students from three middle schools with different socioeconomic backgrounds. Data were collected using a sociodemographic characteristics questionnaire, the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, and the Basic Psychological Needs Scale (BPNS). The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis.

Results

A one-unit increase in autonomy, competence, and relatedness led to a 0.312, 0.263, and 0.312 decrease in emotional and behavioral problems, respectively (p < 0.05). The regression analysis showed that gender (female), academic performance (poor), mother's parenting style (authoritarian), and father's parenting style (permissive) were the risk factors affecting participants' emotional and behavioral problems (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

Our results indicate that some basic psychological needs and sociodemographic characteristics make middle school students more likely to develop emotional and behavioral problems. Authorities should develop interventions on basic psychological needs to promote emotional and behavioral development. Researchers should assess the effectiveness of those interventions.

中学生基本心理需求与情绪、行为问题的关系

基本心理需求是心理成长和发展的普遍来源。目的探讨中学生基本心理需求与情绪、行为问题的关系。本研究采用横断面相关研究设计。样本由来自三所不同社会经济背景的中学的1099名学生组成。采用社会人口学特征问卷、优势与困难问卷和基本心理需求量表(BPNS)收集数据。数据采用多元线性回归分析。结果自主性、能力和相关性每增加1个单位，情绪和行为问题分别减少0.312、0.263和0.312 (p < 0.05)。回归分析显示，性别(女)、学业成绩(差)、母亲教养方式(权威型)和父亲教养方式(宽容型)是影响被试情绪和行为问题的危险因素(p < 0.05)。结论一些基本的心理需求和社会人口学特征使中学生更容易出现情绪和行为问题。当局应针对基本心理需求制定干预措施，以促进情感和行为的发展。研究人员应该评估这些干预措施的有效性。
