This study investigates how trait motivation such as intrinsic motivation is linked to three psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness), identified in Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985), through a survey by questionnaire based on previous studies. More specifically, the survey was conducted to examine (1) the correlation between intrinsic motivation and the three psychological needs, and (2) which psychological need among the three should be focused upon in order to enhance learners' intrinsic motivation. Drawing upon the results of factor analysis and correlation coefficients, it was found that intrinsic motivation correlated strongly with competence. Furthermore, competence was found to be an influential factor that affects intrinsic motivation. Based upon these results, we may conclude that learners' motivation should be enhanced when their need for competence is fulfilled.
