The studies show a positive and direct relationship between basic psychological needs satisfaction and intrinsic motivation of the students. However, there is a lack of studies that analyze the psychological processes that affect these relationships. For this reason, the purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of academic integration on the relationship between basic psychological needs satisfaction and intrinsic motivation of Chilean university students. The participants were a total of 580 students from a university in northern Chile, 359 women and 221 men. The mediation analysis was performed by structural equations modeling, using the maximum likelihood method and the bootstrapping procedure with 10,000 iterations. The results indicated that academic integration fully mediated the relationship between basic psychological needs satisfaction and intrinsic motivation of the students. Therefore, the basic psychological needs satisfaction had an indirect effect on the intrinsic motivation of the students through the academic integration. It is concluded that academic integration constitutes a psychological process that promotes the development of intrinsic motivation for learning. The practical implications are discussed along with the limitations of the study and recommendations for future research.

从基本的心理需求满足到内在动力：学术整合的中介作用

研究表明，基本的心理需求满足与学生的内在动机之间存在着积极而直接的关系。但是，缺乏分析影响这些关系的心理过程的研究。因此，本研究的目的是研究学术整合对智利大学生基本心理需求满足与内在动机之间关系的中介作用。参加者共有来自智利北部一所大学的580名学生，359名女性和221名男性。使用最大似然法和具有10,000次迭代的自举程序，通过结构方程模型进行中介分析。结果表明，学术整合充分调解了学生基本的心理需求满足与内在动机之间的关系。因此，通过学习整合，基本的心理需求满足对学生的内在动机产生了间接影响。结论是，学术整合构成了促进学习内在动机发展的心理过程。讨论了实际意义以及研究的局限性和对未来研究的建议。结论是，学术整合构成了促进学习内在动机发展的心理过程。讨论了实际意义以及研究的局限性和对未来研究的建议。结论是，学术整合构成了促进学习内在动机发展的心理过程。讨论了实际意义以及研究的局限性和对未来研究的建议。
