Objectives: The self-determination theory (SDT) posits that basic psychological needs (BPNs) are indispensable and vital nutrients for well-being. The present research was done to apply SDT to understand students’ well-being, which proposes that the realization and fulfillment of BPNs and subjective vitality significantly influence the overall well-being of an individual. Therefore, the current study analyzed the mediational effect of subjective vitality in the BPN satisfaction and well-being relationship.
Methods: This study included a sample of ۲۱۹ (۱۶۵ females and ۵۴ males) university students with a mean age of ۲۵ years. The basic psychological needs satisfaction and frustration scale (BPNSFS) was used to assess BPNs.

Correlational and multiple regression analysis was done and mediational analysis was done using Hayes PROCESS macro.
Results: The results indicated that fulfillment of BPNs (β=۰.۴۱۳, P<۰.۰۱) and subjective vitality (β=۰.۲۰۸, P<۰.۰۱) are significant predictors of students› well-being. Mediation analysis showed that subjective vitality completely mediated the relationship between BPN satisfaction and well-being. Furthermore, the measures of BPNS (t=۲.۲۴۲) and well-being (t=۲.۱۵۴) differed significantly, while no significant differences were found in subjective vitality (t=۰.۱۰۸) with respect to gender.
Discussion: The findings of this study highlighted the role of BPN satisfaction and subjective vitality in the promotion of students’ well-being.
