ABSTRACT
The present study was an attempt to make a comparative analysis of the psychological needs for satisfaction and frustration between teachers from rural and urban areas. For the research, a total of 60 teachers from rural and urban areas were selected, out of which 30 were selected from rural areas and 30 were selected from urban areas. The basic psychological need satisfaction and frustration scale (BPNSNF) developed by Chen, B., Vansteenkiste, M., and Beyers et al. (2015) is used for measuring psychological need satisfaction and frustration. The BPNSNF scale has been classified into six factors, namely: autonomy satisfaction, autonomy frustration, relatedness satisfaction, relatedness frustration, competence satisfaction, and competence frustration. The research findings conclude that individuals’ experiences can vary widely within both rural and urban contexts due to various factors such as personal disposition, family support, cultural influences, socioeconomic status, and access to resources.
