RT Journal Article T1 Students’ need satisfaction and frustration profiles: Differences in outcomes in physical education and physical activity-related variables. A1 Burgueño Menjibar, Rafael A1 García-González, Luis A1 Abós, Ángel A1 Sevil-Serrano, Javier K1 Educación física - Estudio y enseñanza K1 Investigación activa en educación AB Grounded in self–determination theory, the objectives of the present research were to identify latent profiles based on need-based experiences in physical education (PE), andto examine differences in outcomes in PE (i.e. motivation, experiences, and oppositional defiance) and physical activity-related variables outside of PE (i.e. physical activity intention, moderate–to–vigorous physical activity, and meeting physical activity recommendations) across the identified profiles. A purposive sample of 1062 secondary PE students (526 boys and 536 girls; Mage=14.15, SD=1.51) participated in this cross sectional study. Results from latent profile analysis revealed four need satisfaction and frustration profiles: “high need satisfaction–low need frustration”; “moderate need satisfaction–low need frustration”; “moderate need satisfaction–moderate need frustration”; and “low need satisfaction–high need frustration”. For outcomes in PE, the “high need satisfaction–low need frustration” profile was the most adaptive, while the“low need satisfaction–high need frustration” profile obtained the most maladaptive pattern of outcomes. The “moderate need satisfaction–low need frustration” profile wasmore adaptive than “moderate need satisfaction–moderate need frustration” profile,although both were similar in experiences and oppositional defiance. For physicalactivity-related outcomes outside of PE, the “high need satisfaction–low need frustration”profile scored highest, while no differences were obtained among the three remainingprofiles. These results provide further insight into the importance for PE teachers not onlyto support students’ need satisfaction, but also to minimize need frustration, in obtainingthe most optimal pattern of outcomes in PE, as well as a more active lifestyle amongstudents PB Sage YR 2023 FD 2023-03-28 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10630/41343 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10630/41343 LA eng NO Burgueño, R., García-González, L., Abós, Á., & Sevil-Serrano, J.
