Popis: Basic psychological needs (BPN) are a central construct of the self-determination theory (SDT). However, there is a lack of instruments specifically adapted to measuring these in the field of music. The aim of this study was to validate a Spanish-language scale of satisfaction and dissatisfaction of BPN in musical activity. The participants were 339 musicians aged 18–65 years old. Internal consistency and convergent and discriminant validity were evaluated by comparing five models using confirmatory factor analysis and a multi-trait multi-method approach. The construct validity was evaluated with respect to satisfaction/fun experienced when performing music. The results indicated a good fit of the model in relation to the measure of each BPN. Satisfaction of the BPN positively predicted satisfaction/fun in performing and practicing music and dissatisfaction produced the opposite effect. The adapted instrument contributes to research on motivation in music education.
