While past research has mostly focused on the direct effect of extracurricular activities on outcomes (Farb and Matjasko 2012; Marsh and Kleitman 2002), the current study used a Self-Determination Theory (SDT) framework to test a serial mediation model in which self-determined motivation for extracurricular activities was positively associated with indicators of students' functioning through the mediating role of self-determined school motivation and psychological need satisfaction in school. Moreover, the current study aimed at testing SDT's claim that psychological need satisfaction is universally applicable across contexts and cultures.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Method</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>A total of 886 high-school students (<i>M</i><sub>age</sub> = 14.95, SD<sub>age</sub> = 1.77) from China (<i>n</i> = 267), USA (<i>n</i> = 281), Canada (<i>n</i> = 195), and France (<i>n</i> = 143) completed a questionnaire assessing motivation for extracurricular activity and school-related variables including motivation, need satisfaction, mood, stress, perceptions of overscheduling, and intentions to dropout.
