The purpose of this study was to identify the various ways that instructors communicatively fulfill college students’ basic psychological needs (i.e. autonomy, competence, relatedness) in the classroom. Participants were 119 undergraduate students who completed open-ended, self-report questionnaires. Analyses of the coded data revealed that a variety of instructor communication behaviors and practices previously identified in the effective teaching literature fulfill students’ needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness. According to Deci and Ryan’s (1985) self-determination theory, the fulfillment of these needs intrinsically motivates students to learn, develops their cognitive capacities, and equips them for short-term and long-term success.

激励大学生：从沟通的角度探究心理需求

这项研究的目的是确定教师在课堂上以交流方式满足大学生基本心理需求（即自主性，能力，亲和力）的各种方式。参加者为119名完成开放式自我报告调查问卷的本科生。对编码数据的分析表明，以前在有效的教学文献中确定的各种教员沟通行为和做法可以满足学生对自主性，能力和相关性的需求。根据Deci和Ryan（1985）的自决理论，满足这些需求本质上是激发学生学习，发展他们的认知能力，并为他们短期和长期的成功做好准备。
