The PENS (Player Experience of Need Satisfaction) questionnaire contains 3 items, each corresponding to one of the three basic psychological needs from Self-Determination Theory (SDT): Autonomy, Competence, and Relatedness. The questions assess how satisfied players feel with each of these needs during gameplay.

Here are the specific questions:

1. Autonomy:

   "I felt free to make my own choices in the game."

2. Competence:

   "I felt effective in achieving my goals during the game."

3. Relatedness:

   "I felt connected to the characters or other players in the game."

Participants rate their agreement with each statement on a scale of 1 (Not at all) to 5 (Very much).

These three questions are used to assess how well the game satisfies players' psychological needs, which are crucial for motivation and enjoyment according to Self-Determination Theory.
