Based on self-determination theory, this diary study examined associations between adolescents’ daily need crafting and daily fluctuations in their need-based and affective experiences. We also examined the role of daily perceived autonomy-supportive parenting in adolescents’ daily need-crafting. Adolescents (N = 159; M_age = 15.56; 62% female) filled out a diary for seven consecutive days. Multilevel path analyses indicated that need crafting varied on a day-to-day basis, with daily need crafting relating positively to daily positive affect and negatively to negative affect. The benefits of daily need crafting were accounted for by higher daily need satisfaction and lower need frustration. Further, on days adolescents perceived more parental autonomy support, they reported more need satisfaction and less need frustration, an effect that was partially due to higher need crafting that day. Overall, the results suggest that need crafting represents a critical pro-active skill, with resulting benefits for adolescents’ daily need-based experiences and well-being.

基于自我决定理论，这项日记研究检查了青少年日常需求的塑造与他们基于需求和情感体验的日常波动之间的关联。我们还研究了日常感知自主支持型养育方式在青少年日常需求塑造中的作用。青少年 ( N  = 159; M_年龄 = 15.56; 62% 女性）连续 7 天填写日记。多层次路径分析表明，需求塑造每天都在变化，日常需求塑造与日常积极影响呈正相关，与负面影响呈负相关。日常需求制作的好处在于更高的日常需求满意度和更低的需求挫折。此外，在青少年感受到更多父母自主支持的日子里，他们报告了更多的需求满足和更少的需求挫折，这一影响部分是由于当天更高的需求制作。总体而言，结果表明，需求塑造代表了一项关键的主动技能，从而为青少年基于需求的日常体验和幸福感带来好处。
