摘要：The aim of this study was to determine motivational orientations, basic need satisfaction in exercise and psychological well-beingin in the Self–Determination Theory approach. 387 university students who exercise regularly (nmale=206; age=25.01±5.82 and nfemale=181; age=28.38±7.48) participated to this study. Behavioral Regulations in Exercise Questionnaire-2 (BREQ-2), Psychological Need Satisfaction in Exercise Questionnaire (PNSE), Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS) and Physical Activity Stages of Change Questionnaire (PASCQ) were administered to participants. According to the findings significant difference has been found in motivational orientations and basic needs satisfaction for gender. In addition, results indicated significant differences in the motivational orientation, basic needs satisfaction in exercise and psychological well-being with regard to stage of change in exercise. The significant positive correlations were observed between all subscales of BREQ-2 and PNSE and psychological well-being, while negative correlations have observed between amotivation and psychological well-being. In a summary the findings demonstrated that males were motivated to exercise with introjected and extrinsic reasons and they report higher competence compared with females. In addition, exercise participants in the latter stage reported higher lower external regulation scores than participants in the early stage. And participants in the maintenance stage reported higher competence, autonomy, relatedness and psychological well-being scores than those in the early stages of change. The results illustrate the importance of promoting self-determined motivation and basic needs satisfaction in exercisers to foster their exercise behavior. Satisfaction of all three needs and motivational orientations is positive associated with psychological well–being. Keywords:Exercise motivation, basic need satisfactions in exercise, psychological well-being.
