The present article starts with discussing similarities and differences between conceptualizations of human needs in self-determination theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan [1985], Intrinsic motivation and self-determination in human behavior; Deci & Ryan [2000], Nebraska symposium on motivation: Perspectives on motivation) and motive disposition theory (MDT; McClelland, Human motivation, 1985). The second section focuses on the two-process model of psychological needs (Sheldon [2011], Psychological Review…

Reflections on self-determination theory as an organizing framework for personality psychology: Interfaces, integrations, issues, and unfinished business.
TLDR
The value of broad theory, and SDT in particular, is revisited for coordinating complex research findings concerning motivation, personality development and wellness across multiple levels of analysis and, perhaps more importantly, for pointing researchers to the right questions within today's prolific empiricism.
Let Me Be Implicit: Using Motive Disposition Theory to Predict and Explain Behaviour in Digital Games
TLDR
The results support that implicit motives explain additional variance because they access needs that are experienced affectively and pre-consciously, and not through cognitive interpretation necessary for explicit expression and communication, as is the case in any approaches that use self-report.

Wanting, having, and needing: integrating motive disposition theory and self-determination theory.
TLDR
Four studies explored the motivational and experiential dynamics of psychological needs, applying both self-determination theory and motive disposition theory, finding that motive dispositions toward achievement and affiliation predicted corresponding feelings of competence and relatedness, which predicted well-being.
Psychological needs as basic motives, not just experiential requirements.
TLDR
Three studies, using cross-sectional, experimental, and longitudinal methodologies, supply evidence that felt deficits in autonomy, competence, and relatedness arouse corresponding desires to acquire the missing experiences, but a positive surfeit of felt-need satisfaction did not predict reduced desires for the corresponding needs.

TLDR
