Summary/Abstract: Automatic thoughts are related to one's own person and prevent the individual from correctly assessing situations, from having positive thinking. The factors that describe automatic thoughts are: negative self-concept; confusion and escape fantasies; personal maladjustment and desire for change; loneliness; giving up. Emotionality assesses the tendency of people to need the support of others and to be connected to what they feel. According to the theory of self-determination, human beings have three basic psychological needs: a need for autonomy, competence and relatedeness. These three basic needs lead to a balanced life, which the individual enjoys to the fullest. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between automatic thoughts, negative emotionality and basic psychological needs. Moreover, I want to know if there are gender differences in the relationship between the three constructs.
