Psychological well-being is intricately linked to the fulfillment of innate human needs, as outlined in self-determination theory (SDT). This theory posits that three fundamental psychological needs—competence, autonomy, and relatedness—play pivotal roles in shaping individuals' functioning and overall well-being. Competence involves feeling effective in one's interactions with the social environment, fostering opportunities for personal growth and skill development. Autonomy, on the other hand, pertains to the sense of self-direction and agency in one's actions, emphasizing the importance of being the author of one's behavior. Relatedness underscores the significance of meaningful connections and relationships with others, contributing to a sense of belonging and fulfillment. Drawing from the insights of SDT, this study explores the interplay between these psychological needs and individual well-being, examining their implications for personal development and life satisfaction. By elucidating the mechanisms through which competence, autonomy, and relatedness influence human functioning, this research seeks to inform interventions and strategies aimed at promoting psychological health and flourishing
