RT Journal Article T1 Perceived Novelty Support and Psychological Needs Satisfaction in Physical Education A1 Fierro Suero, Sebastián A1 Almagro Torres, Bartolomé Jesús A1 Sáenz-López Buñuel, Pedro A1 Carmona Márquez, José AB In recent years, novelty has been proposed as a potential fourth basic psychological need.In the present study, the behavior of novelty resulting from support from the Physical Educationteacher was evaluated in 723 students with an average age of 13.30 years old. The first objective wasto validate the Support for Basic Psychological Needs-4 (SBPN-4) in Physical Education questionnaire,which included support for the novelty factor. The second objective was to test the mediation model inorder to confirm the effect of support for novelty in relation to basic psychological needs and intrinsicmotivation. The results obtained show that the Support for Basic Psychological Needs-4 (SBPN-4)questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool. On the other hand, support for novelty predicts satisfaction ofbasic psychological needs, particularly novelty satisfaction, which in turn predicts intrinsic motivation.These results show how the students are capable of perceiving the teacher’s support for noveltyand how this positively influences their intrinsic motivation. Further investigations are required tocontinue developing our knowledge of the role of novelty as a basic psychological need.
