Competence Support • Design activities so that mastery is the dominant experience • Structure provides a scaffolding for active development and skill acquisition • Feedback is informational rather than controlling • Praise focuses on effort and specific accomplishments, not individual ability or comparisons with others

Autonomy Support • Understand the other’s perspective (Try to understand their internal frame of reference) • Encourage self- reflection, or “interest - taking” • Offer meaningful choices • Provide a rationale for requested behaviour • Minimize pressure and control, such as rewards or controlling language (e.g., “should”, “must”)

Relatedness Support • Conveys respect for the individual • People feel valued and significant • Expressing care and concern when others face challenges • Demonstrate warmth & inclusion • Provide opportunities to contribute to something or give to others
