Research activities of postgraduate and undergraduate students are an important component of the educational process and training of qualified specialists who can think and create new knowledge independently, and their choice of research career and, consequently, the scientific, technical and humanitarian progress of our country depends on their productive involvement in it. The results of the development of the Academic Supervision Styles Questionnaire (QA2S) based on the self-determination theory and previous methodological developments and assessing autonomous, controlling, structuring and chaotic supervision styles are presented. The study involved 264 undergraduate and postgraduate students (M=26 years, SD=6.3) who assessed the supervision styles of their supervisor. The Academic Supervision Styles questionnaire has a four-factor structure that corresponds to theoretical ideas about supporting or thwarting the basic psychological needs for autonomy and competence. All scales of the questionnaire describing the four academic supervision styles demonstrated acceptable reliability. The validity of the questionnaire is evidenced by the expected relationships of the styles with the quality of motivation, basic psychological needs satisfaction or frustration, satisfaction with learning, publication activity, and frequency of contact with the supervisor. Comparison of current and desired supervision styles revealed expected differences for all styles except for the controlling style, for which no significant differences were found. The questionnaire can be recommended for diagnosing the identified supervision styles for research and practical purposes to assess the prediction of motivation for research activities and success of postgraduate students.
