In a sample of 1107 students, results revealed that while competence-support positively related to need satisfaction and autonomous motivation, external and internal control positively related to need frustration, controlled motivation, amotivation, and oppositional defiance. Of the four identified profiles, the “high competence-supportelow control” profile was the most adaptive, while the “low competence-supportevery high control” profile was the most maladaptive. Findings suggest that PE teachers combine both styles with differentiated students’ motivational outcomes PB Elsevier YR 2023 FD 2023-07-04 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10630/41354 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10630/41354 LA eng NO García-González, L., Haerens, L., Abós, Á., Sevil-Serrano, J., & Burgueño, R.
