Assessment Description/Explanation

The Psychological Need Satisfaction in Exercise Scale (PNSE)

The Psychological Need Satisfaction in Exercise Scale (PNSE) is an assessment that is multidimensional to measure perceived psychological need satisfaction to exercise in line with the self-determination theory. This assessment is an 18-item questionnaire that uses a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1,” not at all true” to 7, “very true”. There are six questions for each part of the Self-Determination Theory. 

Perceived Competence Maintaining Leisure Involvement (PCS)
