Conversely, when psychological needs are hindered, individuals show harmful results, which Deci and his colleagues illustrated as “ill-being, diminished engagement, and poor performance.” When the needs are always hindered, individuals cultivate what is called “need substitutes.” For instance, individuals without autonomy may wish to compensate the lack of autonomy by desiring to have more “power.” Power, in this case will be the “need substitute,” which in reality will “not satisfy the need for autonomy.” For example, when parents are harsh and unemotional children have a tendency to value extrinsic ambitions for “wealth, fame, and image.” These extrinsic drive promotes poor psychological health.
