This article introduces the need-support model, which proposes that regulatory focus can affect subjective support for the needs proposed by self-determination theory (autonomy, competence, and relatedness), and support of these needs can affect subjective labeling of experiences as promotion-focused and prevention-focused. Three studies tested these hypotheses ( N = 2,114). Study 1 found that people recall more need support in promotion-focused experiences than in prevention-focused experiences, and need support in their day yesterday (with no particular regulatory focus) fell in between. Study 2 found that experiences of higher need support were more likely to be labeled as promotion-focused rather than prevention-focused, and that each need accounted for distinct variance in the labeling of experiences. Study 3 varied regulatory focus within a performance task and found that participants in the promotion condition engaged in need-support inflation, whereas participants in the prevention condition engaged in need-support deflation. Directions for future research are discussed.
本文介绍了需要支持模型，该模型提出，调节焦点可以影响对自我决定理论（自主性、能力和关联性）提出的需求的主观支持，而这些需求的支持可以影响对体验的主观标记，即促进焦点和预防焦点。三项研究检验了这些假设（N=2114）。研究 1 发现，人们在促进焦点的体验中回忆起更多的需要支持，而在预防焦点的体验中则较少，而在昨天的日常经历中（没有特定的调节焦点）则处于两者之间。研究 2 发现，更高的需要支持的体验更有可能被标记为促进焦点，而不是预防焦点，并且每个需求都对体验的标记有独特的影响。研究 3 在一项绩效任务中改变了调节焦点，发现促进条件下的参与者进行了需要支持的膨胀，而预防条件下的参与者则进行了需要支持的收缩。讨论了未来研究的方向。
