dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between bonding activities and the basic psychological need for relatedness among students of Utrecht University. In addition, it was tested whether the relationship between relatedness and intrinsic motivation, as the Self- Determination Theory (SDT) suggests, is present in this group. Data have been obtained from 288 current Dutch Bachelor’s students of Utrecht University. The online questionnaires filled out by the students were an adjusted version of the Work-related Basic Need Satisfaction Scale (W-BNS) and the Academic Motivation Scale - College Version (AMS-C). Students were also asked about the bonding activities offered by their bachelor’s programme. Results showed that there was a significant difference in relatedness between students who did or did not receive an activity in two out of the seven bonding activities: tutor and introduction period. Students who indicated that they received these bonding activities reported a higher sense of relatedness compared to students who indicated that they not have these activities. Furthermore, there was a significant positive relationship between total amount of bonding activities and relatedness. Besides, the multiple hierarchical regression analysis showed that the total amount of bonding activities, after adding alternative factors in a predictive model, contributed significantly to the explained variance in relatedness. The same applies for the bonding activity introduction period, but not for tutor. Finally, there was a significant positive relationship between relatedness and intrinsic motivation.
