An alternative view assumes that individuals can perceive both styles 4 simultaneously, suggesting that they are different constructs (Bartholomew, Ntoumanis, 5 Ryan, Bosch, & Thøgersen-Ntoumani, 2011). Using a cluster analysis, Study 1 (N = 160) 6 confirmed that both teaching styles were perceived by students. Four clusters appeared 7 according to the student's score on both measures of autonomy and controlling styles (High 8 autonomy -High control; Low autonomy -Low control; High autonomy -Low control; Low 9 autonomy -High control). Participants in the High autonomy -Low control Cluster reported 10 the most self-determined motivation toward their studies. Using a path analysis and 11 mediational analyses, Study 2 (N = 127) tested the independency of both styles by studying 12 the process through which they impacted motivation. Results showed that need satisfaction 13 (specifically the need for autonomy) mediated the path between perceived autonomy-14 supportive teacher behavior and motivation and that need thwarting (specifically the needs for 15 autonomy and relatedness) mediated the path between perceived controlling teacher behavior 16 and self-determined motivation, which in its turn predicted academic performance. These 17 results add to the existing literature supporting the independence of the two styles. 18 209 words 19

Plenum, New York, 1985, depression, and anxiety (Bradley in Handbook of psychology and diabetes: A guide to psychological measurement in diabetes research and practice. Harwood Academic Press, Chur, 1994; Bruchon-Schweitzer in Psychologie de la Santé: Modèles, concepts et méthodes. Dunod, Paris, 2002). Two prospective studies were run among undergraduate students. Results of Study 1 confirmed the relevance of Evans et al.'s (in Br J Psychol 84(2):255-273, 1993) theoretical framework. More specifically, four clusters reflecting different levels of desire for control and perception of control were found. Moreover, results revealed that profiles characterized by high scores on both desire for control and perception of control were more autonomously motivated than those characterized by the three other possible combinations. Results of Study 2 replicated those of Study 1 and showed that participants combining a low desire for control and a high perception of control were the less depressed, followed by participants with high scores on both measures. No significant effects were found for anxiety.
