    De acuerdo con la Teoría de la Autodeterminación (SDT, por sus siglas en inglés) solamente existen tres necesidades psicológicas – competencia, autonomía y asociación – verdaderamente fundamentales y esenciales para la salud y el bienestar de los seres humanos, las cuales pueden ser satisfechas por los individuos en una gran variedad de comportamientos que pueden diferir entre los individuos y manifestarse de distinta manera en diferentes culturas. Sin embargo, han surgido una serie de cuestionamientos sobre la afirmación de la Teoría de la Autodeterminación de que sólo existen esas tres necesidades básicas. El presente estudio discute la posibilidad de que la necesidad de seguridad debe ser considerada como una necesidad básica y su relación con las tres necesidades psicológicas aceptadas

    According to Self-determination Theory (SDT), there are only three psychological needs - competence, autonomy and relatedness - truly fundamental and essential for human being’s health and well-being, which can be satisfied by individuals while engaging in a wide variety of behaviors that may differ among individuals and be differentially manifest in different cultures. However, a number of questions have been raised about SDT’s contention that there are only those three basic psychological needs. The present study discusses the possibility that the security need should be considered as a basic need and its relation to the accepted three basic psychological needs. Using the Cultural Theory framework the degree of satisfaction of the basic needs, depending on the type of culture, is also presented.
