When we talk about supporting wellbeing determinants and psychological needs it’s important to understand there are different spheres of experience in which these can be influenced. For example, a technology might be autonomy-supportive from the software interaction perspective but not in relation to the real-world activity it’s intended to support. This reference sheet can help keep team members on the same page in conversations to do with wellbeing support.
For details, see: The Six Spheres of Tech Experience at Medium.

The diagram of the spheres can be found in the following paper:

The spheres concept was originally and fully described here:
