The Relationship

Drawing from contemporary goal perspective theories of achievement motivation, this investigation had as its primary purpose to determine the relationship of perceived motivational climate to intrinsic motivation and attributional beliefs in a sport setting. This study also examined the degree to which the dependent variables of interest are a function of situational goal structure, dispositional goal orientations, or both. Subjects, 105 male basketball players from nine varsity high school teams, were requested to complete the four instruments. Results indicated that the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire was comprised of two valid and reliable subscales, the Mastery and Performance Climate scales. Perceptions of a mastery-oriented climate positively related to reported enjoyment and the belief that effort leads to achievement. Perceptions of a performance-oriented climate were associated with the view that superior ability causes success. In general, indices of intrinsic motivation and attributional beliefs were best predicted by dispositional goal orientation.

The Relationship

This study examined the relationship between perceived motivational climate and intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy and determined the role of goal orientation and perceived motivational climate in predicting intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy. College students (N= 285) enrolled in beginning tennis classes completed a battery of questionnaires assessing perceived motivational climate, goal orientation, intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, and perceived ability. Perceptions of mastery climate were positively associated with enjoyment, effort, perceived competence, and self-efficacy and were inversely related to tension. In males, dispositional goal orientation and perceived motivational climate emerged as equally important predictors of intrinsic motivation, while mastery motivational climate was the only significant predictor of self-efficacy. In females, performance motivational climate was the strongest predictor of intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy. Perceived normative ability accounted for a substantial amount of unique variance in intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy in both males and females. The motivational implications of the findings are discussed, and directions for future research are provided.

Psychological Coping

Psychological coping skills in sport are believed to be central to athlete performance and well-being. This study examined the relationship between the perceived motivational climate in elite collegiate sport teams and player psychological coping skills use. Division I athletes (N = 467) completed a questionnaire examining their perceptions of how caring, task-, and ego-involving their teams were and their use of sport specific psychological coping skills (i.e., coping with adversity, peaking under pressure, goal setting/mental preparation, concentration, freedom from worry, confidence/achievement motivation, and coachability). Structural equation modeling revealed positive relationships between perceptions of a task-involving climate and confidence/achievement motivation (β = 0.42) and goal setting/mental preparation (β = 0.27). Caring climate perceptions were positively associated with coachability (β = 0.34). These findings illustrate how encouraging athletes and coaches to create a caring, task-involving climate may facilitate athletes’ use of psychological coping skills and set athletes up to perform their best and have a positive sporting experience.

 Abstract. Despite the importance of football in today’s society, little research has been done on female football. The principal aim of this investigation is to find out why women participate in this sport, to identify goal orientations, as well as to analyse the perceived motivational climate and differences according to category and stage of the season in women’s football. In order to achieve this, we have used a sample of 41 female football players belonging to three different football clubs of Castilla y León in three different ranks (1st Regional B Football 11, 1st Regional Futsal, and 2nd National Football 11), aged between 15 and 19 years old, which were administered the Sport Motivation Scale by Pelletier et al. (1995), the Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire by Duda and Nicholls (1989) and the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire-2 by Newton et al (2000). Results reveal that the subjects present more Intrinsic than Extrinsic Motivation and obtained low rating values in Amotivation. Referring to the goal orientation matter, evidence confirms that the levels of Task Orientation are higher than to Ego in every rank, with the latter decreasing throughout the season. In every team, the subjects perceived a greater Task-involving climate than to Ego-involving, although higher values in the Ego-involving climate were achieved in the 2nd National Football 11 compared to the other ranks. Resumen. Pese a la importancia del fútbol en la sociedad actual hay pocos estudios que se centren en el fútbol femenino. El objetivo de este trabajo es conocer las razones de participación en el deporte, identificar las orientaciones de meta, así como analizar el clima motivacional percibido y las diferencias existentes en función de la categoría y la etapa de la temporada en el fútbol femenino. Para ello, se empleó una muestra de 41 futbolistas femeninas pertenecientes a tres clubes de fútbol de Castilla y León de tres categorías distintas (1ª Regional B Fútbol 11, 1ª Regional Fútbol Sala, y 2ª Nacional Fútbol 11), con edades comprendidas entre 15 y 29 años, a las cuales se les administraron la Escala de Motivación Deportiva de Pelletier et al. (1995), el Cuestionario de Orientación a la Tarea y al Ego de Duda y Nicholls (1989) y el Cuestionario de Clima Motivacional Percibido en el Deporte de Newton et al. (2000). Los resultados revelan que las participantes mostraron una mayor Motivación Intrínseca que Extrínseca y obtuvieron unos valores bajos en Amotivación. En relación a las orientaciones de meta, en todas las categorías aparecen valores más elevados en la Orientación a la tarea que al ego, con un descenso de esta última a lo largo de la temporada. En todos los equipos, las participantes percibieron un mayor Clima de implicación hacia la Tarea que al Ego, aunque en la 2ª Nacional Fútbol 11 alcanzaron valores más elevados en Clima de implicación al Ego respecto a las otras dos categorías.

Effects Of Feedback

This study examined the effect of different types of feedback on goal orientation, perception of motivational climate, satisfaction, and boredom in physical education (PE) classes, pupils' preferences for challenging versus easy tasks, pupils' attitudes towards PE lessons, and perception of gymnastic ability. 95 subjects in three treatment conditions (positive feedback, negative feedback, and both feedback types) participated in 14 lessons and completed pre- and postintervention measures. Results showed that subjects in the positive feedback group had significantly higher scores on learning-oriented motivational climate and enjoyment than the subjects of the negative feedback group. The negative feedback group reported higher scores on performance-oriented motivational climate than the positive feedback group. Results also showed that subjects in the group receiving both types of feedback had lower scores on learning-oriented motivational climate, higher scores on enjoyment than the negative feedback group, and lower scores on boredom than the positive feedback group. The effects of feedback on physical education students' motivation are discussed.
