Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the self-determination theory, a sense of well-being is achieved when our need for relatedness (social connections) is met in combination with our need for autonomy (the ability to make choices and control our own lives). While survival and affiliation are important aspects of our lives, they do not directly contribute to a sense of well-being in the same way that autonomy and relatedness do. Social isolation, in fact, is at odds with our need for relatedness and can lead to negative consequences for our well-being.
