Ryan and Deci's Self-Determination Theory

Ryan and Deci's Self-Determination Theory

Self-Determination Theory (SDT), formulated by Richard Ryan and Edward Deci, explains that human motivation is driven by three fundamental psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. When these needs are met, individuals experience personal growth, intrinsic motivation, and overall well-being.
Autonomy is the need to feel in control of one's actions and decisions. For example, a student who chooses their research topic is likely to be more engaged and motivated than one who...

Humanistic Therapy

Humanistic Therapy

Humanistic therapies emphasize personal growth, self-understanding, and the fulfillment of human potential. Rooted in the belief that individuals inherently strive toward self-actualization, these approaches encourage clients to explore their feelings and experiences in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. Humanistic therapies differ from psychodynamic approaches by focusing on conscious experiences, present circumstances, and the potential for self-improvement rather than past conflicts...

Self-Regulation

Self-Regulation

Self-regulation, also known as self-control, encompasses a range of cognitive and behavioral processes that allow individuals to adjust their internal states and outward actions to align with socially acceptable norms and long-term goals. It plays a fundamental role in adaptive functioning, from resisting impulsive behaviors to persisting through challenging tasks. While its benefits are widely recognized, self-regulation is not limitless. Muraven and Baumeister's theory posits that...

Motivational Cycle

Motivational Cycle

The motivational cycle is a key concept that explains how individuals are motivated to meet their needs. At its core, the cycle revolves around four distinct stages: need, drive, goal-directed behavior, and goal achievement. These stages respond to imbalances in the body or mind, prompting actions that restore balance.
The cycle begins with a need. This need can arise from various conditions, such as hunger, thirst, or temperature changes. For instance, when an individual feels cold, their body...

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.
Parental Influence on Identity Development
Parents serve as primary guides and managers in an adolescent's life, offering support instrumental in decision-making and personal growth....

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Psychology
Coaching

Background:

The transition from medical school to residency (TTR) is a critical period for physician development.
Effective coaching is essential to support trainees during this demanding transition.
Existing coaching frameworks may not adequately address the psychological needs of residents.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and content-validate a consensus-based, single-session coaching framework for the TTR.
To inform the framework using Self-Determination Theory (SDT) principles.
To ensure the framework is practical and acceptable for use by medical educators.

Main Methods:

A modified Delphi study involving 13 medical educators from 11 U.S. institutions.
Nominal group technique used to generate coaching prompts and skills across four phases.
Multi-round consensus voting (modified Delphi) and qualitative content analysis guided framework development.

Main Results:

A final framework comprising 25 prompts and 4 skills was developed through consensus.
The framework's prompts and skills were distributed across coaching phases and mapped to SDT needs (autonomy, competence, relatedness).
Panelists affirmed the framework's clarity, feasibility, and acceptability for non-coach faculty.

Conclusions:

A pragmatic, SDT-grounded coaching framework for the TTR has been established through consensus.
This tool offers a structured approach to coaching during the critical transition from medical school to residency.
Future research should focus on evaluating the framework's feasibility, fidelity, and impact on learner outcomes.
