Abstract
Self-Determination Theory (SDT) serves as a theoretical foundation emphasizing the functions of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. This theory provides a deep understanding of the processes involved in the acquisition and maintenance of individual motivation towards behavior, highlighting the role of environmental support in facilitating fundamental psychological needs. This study aims to identify and analyze the research trends in self-determination theory over the past decade using a bibliometric
literature review approach. The SCOPUS database was utilized, with the self- determination theory as the primary keyword. Analysis was conducted using VOSviewer.
The bibliometric analysis includes type of document, authorship, institutions, fields of study, growth trends, and future research directions. Six clusters were identified, illustrating that SDT is discussed across various fields such as psychological needs, personal autonomy, motivation, achievement goal theory, self-regulation, and autonomy. Future research is encouraged to explore self-determination theory in relation to the topics mentioned in the discussion section.
