Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the current status of students' autonomy in learning and examine its relationship with psychological needs and self-control. The participants in this study were college students, and a questionnaire survey was used to collect data, which were analyzed using SPSS. The results revealed that: (1) students' autonomy in learning was at a moderate level; (2) there was a significant positive correlation between psychological needs and autonomous learning, and there was also a significant positive correlation between psychological needs and self-control; (3) both psychological needs and self-control could significantly predict students' autonomy in learning; (4) self-control played a partial mediating role between psychological needs and autonomous learning, indicating that psychological needs influenced autonomous learning through self-control. These findings suggest that enhancing students' satisfaction of psychological needs and improving their self-control abilities can promote the development of autonomy in learning.
