How do self-determination theory and Henry Murray's three power motives compare?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Self-determination theory consists of three needs—autonomy, competence, and relatedness. The three needs overlap with Murray's three primary motives: power (autonomy), achievement (competence), and affiliation (relatedness). The two systems were developed at different times using different methods, but seem to identify the same basic needs or motives.
