Developing Resilient Agency in Learning: The Internal Structure of Learning Power (2015, background): “From this perspective ‘human development and well being must be viewed as a dynamic potential that requires proximal and distal conditions of nurturance’ (Ryan and Deci, 2002, p. 3).”
The Coach-Created Motivational Climate, Young Athletes' Well-Being, and Intentions to Continue Participation (2012, methodology): “The purpose of this study, which is grounded in the achievement goal (AGT; Nicholls, 1989) and self-determination (SDT; Ryan & Deci, 2000, 2002) theoretical frameworks, was to test a motivational model in youth sport.”
