Item 1	Choose	The teacher lets me choose what I am going to do
Item 2	Decide	The teacher decides which task I will start with (inversely coded)
Item 3	Task	I get to choose which task I will start with
Item 4	Listen	The teacher listens to me when I disagree with something
Item 5	Help	The teacher helps me when I ask for it
Item 6	Accept	The teacher accepts me for who I am
Item 7	Understand	The teacher helps me when I do not understand a task

Source

The seven items are a subset from a self-constructed 27-item questionnaire on teacher's autonomy support. Data were collected and made available by L. Koopman from the University of Amsterdam.
