Abstract

The purpose of this study is twofold. First, it seeks to verify the validity and reliability of the Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction Scale for Elementary School Pupils developed by Someya (2019). Second, it examines how the satisfaction of need of autonomy, competence, and relatedness affects children's listening comprehension ability. The Participants comprised 710 elementary school pupils who sat for a questionnaire and listening comprehension ability test. We also used cluster analysis to analyze the satisfaction values of the three psychological needs, obtaining three clusters: a low group, a middle group, and a high group. Based on a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), a significant difference was observed among the three groups. We found that the higher the pupils scored in the satisfaction of the three psychological needs, the higher their listening comprehension ability. Future research should discuss which factors are needed for promoting the satisfaction of the three needs.
