The aim of this study is to test the reliability and validity of the instrument known as Holistic Experience of Motivation Scale (HEMS) that has been used to examine the foundation of holistic experience of motivation in adolescents. Analyzing current research, theories, and practices in positive psychology, it is assumed that the need for purpose, i.e. recognition of the purpose, is a common need manifested differently in different constructs of human motivation.The HEMS is proposed after a theoretical and comparative analysis of various constructs of motivation, philosophies, and educational theories. Holistic Experience of Motivation (HEM) is measured in adolescents (age 14-15, total 50) after the intervention program (IP) in physical education that shows positive effects on intrinsic motivation, self-determination, achievement of goals, flow, thriving, and mindfulness. In the preliminary validation of the instrument, reliability and validity were measured using descriptive and principal component  factor analysis for the case 1:5 with the Monte Carlo method. In the final instrument of 10 variables, three preliminary factors emerged: purpose, focus and example/role-model, but with the application of the Monte Carlo method only one factor emerged.                 The preliminary results show that the basis of the HEM can be the factor of “purpose”. The purpose or meaning may be a common need that is presented through different constructs of motivation in positive psychology. Different philosophical paradigms and constructs of motivation are shown to be connected. It is shown that the purpose or meaning in question is of spiritual/religious nature and that it is manifested through satisfying the basic psychological needs of self-determination and through the realization of motivational sparks that are markers of deep personal interests.               The results show that the HEMS requires an upgrade with an additional validation on a larger sample and its correlation with other constructs in positive psychology. Also, they confirm that relationships have a significant role in motivation and recognition of personal purpose. The study presents the IP that can be used for making an environment for a holistic experience of motivation, which can also be applied in programs that aim toward the development of leadership and moral and ethical values in youth.Key words: flow; intrinsic motivation; mindfulness; positive youth development; sparks.  --- Cilj je ovoga istraživanja ispitati pouzdanost i valjanost Skale cjelovito iskustvo motivacije (CIM) (eng. Holistic Experience of Motivation Scale) koja je korištena za istraživanje osnove cjelovitoga iskustva motivacije kod adolescenata. Analizom dosadašnjih istraživanja, teorija i praksi pozitivne psihologije pretpostavljeno je da je potreba za svrhom, tj. prepoznavanje osobne svrhe zajednička potreba koja je manifestirana različito u različitim konstruktima motivacije.Skala CIM dizajnirana je teorijsko-komparativnom metodom istraživanja konstrukata motivacije, filozofija i teorija edukacije. Cjelovito iskustvo motivacije (CIM) mjereno je kod adolescenata uzrasne dobi 14 – 15 god. (ukupno 50) nakon primjene interventnoga programa (IP) u nastavi tjelesne i zdravstvene kulture koji je pokazao pozitivan utjecaj na intrinzičnu motivaciju, samoodređenje, postignuće ciljeva, zanesenost, pregnuće (thriving) i stalnu svijest (mindfulness). Za preliminarnu validaciju instrumenta pouzdanost i valjanost mjerena je deskriptivnom i faktorskom analizom glavnih komponenata za slučaj 1:5 s Monte Karlo metodom (MKM). U konačnom instrumentu od 10 varijabli izdvojila su se tri faktora: svrhovitost, usredotočenost, primjer/uzor, ali primjenom MKM istaknuo se jedan faktor.Preliminarni rezultati pokazuju da bi osnova CIM mogla biti svrhovitost (purpose). Svrha – smisao mogla bi biti zajednička potreba predstavljena različitim konstruktima motivacije u pozitivnoj psihologiji. Povezane su različite filozofske paradigme i konstrukti motivacije. Pokazano je da je doživljaj svrhe – smisla duhovne/religiozne prirode i da se manifestira kroz zadovoljenje psiholoških potreba samoodređenja i kroz realizaciju iskri (sparks) kao oznake dubokih interesiranja pojedinca.Rezultati pokazuju da Skala CIM treba nadgradnju, dodatnu validaciju na većem broju ispitanika i utvrđivanje kvantitativne povezanosti s drugim konstruktima unutar pozitivne psihologije. Također, oni potvrđuju da međuodnosi imaju vrlo značajnu ulogu u motivaciji, prepoznavanju osobne svrhe. Istraživanje nudi IP koji se može upotrijebiti za stvaranje okoline za cjelovito iskustvo motivacije te se isti može primijeniti u programima koji imaju za cilj razvoj liderstva, moralnih i etičkih vrijednosti kod mladih.Ključne riječi: intrinzična motivacija; iskre; ; pozitivan razvoj mladih; stalna svjesnost; zanesenost.

The main idea of the paper to indicate the factors of resilience indicators. The task of the research - a theoretical analysis of the latest research resilience factors and resilience risk factors and to analyze the theory of the intervention of positive psychology and development programs. Based on quantitative methods (narrative content analysis) recognise the contents of resilience and create the resilience factor model. Author together with students form RTTEMA master study programme “Psychology” during last 4 years (Svence and Nereta, Pumpurina, Stale, Berzina, 2009-2012) has created a positive intervention author programme “Resilience skills training” and adapted in Latvian term “resilience” together with scale of resilience (Resilience Scale, RS, Wagnild & Young, 1993). Eksperimental programmes was based on the Penn Resilience Programme (Seligman at al, 1999) and Masters Resilience Trainer (Gillham, Reivich, & Jaycox, 2008 Reivich & Seligman, 2008) programms which include the vitaly of skills development (self-regulation, hardiness, optimism, meaningful live, character strengths, etc). The practical aim is to analyse and compare resilience indicators in the groups of different ages (this article will analyse one of them- 40-50 years old wimin leaders group) in the period of twelve weeks by using experimental program of positive intervention. One of researches (Svence, Berzina, 2011-2012) participants narrative content analysis proves that individuals with daily stress caused by various stressors, and it significantly affects psychological wellbeing, as a result of these stressors can be added to the resilience risk factors because they increase human adaptive interference. Narrative content analysis proves that, for examples, women's resilience is the compilation of the resources - the vitality of the personality resources, which includes the force of will, hope, optimism, ability to adapt to change, stress tolerance, ability to solve problems and make decisions, positive thinking and attitude towards yourself and life in general . Women's are important resilience factors is social support of relatives, which gives strength and comfort, communicating with other, previous experience, understanding of the resources resilience, sense of responsibility, positive attitudes towards themselves, belief in yourself and the desire to improve themselves. After the intervention of quantitative analysis of the results of the study the author concludes that resilience is a set of skills that can be developed. It is proved by the results of the indicators before and after the intervention is received as well as by the results achieved in positive psychology (Seligman et al, 1999; Gillham, Reivich, & Jaycox, 2008 Reivich & Seligman, Jackson, & Watkins, 2004, Khoshaba , Maddi, 1999, Gillham et al. 1991; Reivich, Shatte & Gillham,2003). Authors has approbated the programm “Resilience skills training” and has approved Resilience scale (Resilience Scale, RS, Wagnild & Young, 1993, translated by G. Svence, I.Berzina, 2011) and created a resilience factor theoretical and experimental model.
