• The role of teachers’ controlling behaviour in physical education on adolescents’ health-related quality of life: test of a conditional process model* (2019, background): “Studies have shown that supervisors tend to use both controlling and autonomy-supportive behaviours in interactions with actors but to different extents (Bartholomew et al., 2010; 2011a; Pelletier, Fortier, Vallerand, & Bri ere, 2001; Silk et al., 2003; Tessier, Sarrazin, & Ntoumanis, 2008).”

• A theoretical upgrade of the concept of parental psychological control: Proposing new insights on the basis of self-determination theory (2010, unknown): “Within separation–individuation theory, autonomy-support is defined in terms of parental encour-agement of adolescents’ independent expression and decision-making (Blos, 1979; Gray & Steinberg, 1999; Silk et al., 2003).”

• Self-Determination Theory and Diminished Functioning (2011, background): “…facets of the social environment, which past research has suggested are related but distinct constructs (Blanchard et al., 2009; Pelletier et al., 2001; Silk et al., 2003), should allow better understanding of the variability in psychological experiences of individuals in multiple life domains.”
