Background: This study is grounded in the theory of self-determination, the achievement goal theory, and the theory of perceived motivational climate. The goal of the study was to examine the relationships among perceived coach autonomy, motivation, task and ego orientation, and the perceived motivational climate in young ice hockey players. Material and methods: The participants included 401 ice hockey players aged 14–18 years old. To calculate the power of prediction between the independent variable “perceived autonomy from the coach”, all 6 factors of motivation in the self-determination theory (SDT) and the goal orientation we conducted two path diagrams: one where task environment was the dependent variable and one with ego environment as the dependent variable. Between these factors and goal orientation among the players and the dependent variables, a hierarchical regression analysis was employed. Results: We found that high perceived autonomy support from the coach positively influences motivation in junior hockey players. Players who perceive autonomy support from their coach have a higher chance of scoring highly for autonomic regulation, according to self-determination theory. Conclusions: This probably leads to more task-oriented players who create a more task-oriented environment, hopefully resulting in fewer players dropping out of the sport.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between goal orientations, perceptions of athletic aggression, and sportspersonship among elite male youth ice hockey players (M age = 13.08 years). Athletes (N = 171) completed questionnaires to assess their goal orientations, attitudes toward directing aggressive behaviors during competition, and non-aggression-related sportspersonship. In accordance with Vallerand, Deshaies, Cuerrier, Brière, and Pelletier (1996), sportspersonship was conceptualized as a five-dimensional construct. Multiple regression analyses revealed that high ego-oriented athletes were more inclined to approve of aggressive behaviors than those with low ego orientation. Players with higher levels of task orientation (rather than low task orientation) had higher sportspersonship levels on three dimensions. An analysis of goal orientation patterns revealed that regardless of ego orientation, low (compared to high) task orientation was more motivationally detrimental to several sportspersonship dimensions. The practical implications of these results are discussed in the context of Nicholls’s (1989) achievement goal theory.

The Relationship

La motivación y la inteligencia emocional aparecen como dos importantes aspectos de la educación de los jóvenes, cuya relación en Educación Física ha sido poco estudiada. Bajo la teoría de la autodeterminación, el estudio analizó las relaciones existentes entre la inteligencia emocional (IE) y la motivación de los estudiantes en las clases de Educación Física (EF). Se utilizó una muestra de 170 estudiantes pertenecientes al primer ciclo de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (E.S.O) de un centro de Gibraleón (Huelva). Los instrumentos empleados fueron: la versión española del Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS), una adaptación para EF del Cuestionario de Clima Motivacional Percibido (PMCSQ-2), el Cuestionario de Necesidades Psicológicas Básicas (BPNS), y la Escala del Locus Percibido de Causalidad (PLOC). Los resultados del análisis de correlación mostraron relaciones entre las variables clima motivacional, necesidades psicológicas y motivación en línea con la teoría de la autodeterminación. Los factores de la IE percibida correlacionaron con el clima motivacional, con algunas necesidades psicológicas y con las diferentes formas de motivación, aunque con un coeficiente de correlación bajo. Por su parte, se destaca que en los análisis de regresión la claridad emocional predijo positivamente la regulación introyectada. Son necesarios más estudios que permitan profundizar en esta relación.Palabras clave. Inteligencia Emocional, Motivación, Educación Secundaria Obligatoria, Educación Física.Abstract. Motivation and emotional intelligence appear as two important aspects of education of young people, whose relationship in Physical Education is an understudied topic. Based on the Self-Determination Theory, the study analyzed the relationship between emotional intelligence and motivation in physical education students. A sample of 170 students from the first cycle of compulsory secondary education in Gibraleón (Huelva) was used. The instruments used were: the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS), the Perceived Motivational Climate Questionnaire (PMCSQ-2), the Basic Psychological Needs Questionnaire (BPNS) and the Perceived Locus of Causality Scale (PLOC). The results of correlation analysis showed relationships between motivational climate, psychological needs and motivation in line with Self-Determination Theory. The three dimensions of emotional intelligence (Attention, Clarity, and Mood Repair) correlated with perceived motivational climate, with some psychological needs and the different forms of motivation, although with a low correlation coefficient. The regression analysis showed that emotional clarity predicted positively the introjected regulation. Further studies are necessary to enable us to deepen our understanding of the relationship between emotional intelligence and motivation in PE classes.Keywords.

The purpose of this investigation was to examine the relationships among perceived motivational climate, individuals' goal orientations, and dispositional flow, with attention to possible gender differences. A sample of 413 young athletes, ages 12 to 16 years, completed the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire-2 (PMCSQ-2) and Perception of Success Questionnaire (POSQ), as well as the Dispositional Flow Scale. Task orientation was positively and significantly related to a perceived task- involving motivational climate and to the disposition to experience flow in the sport. Ego orientation was positively and significantly associated with a perceived ego-involving motivational climate and with dispositional flow. The perceptions of task-involving and ego-involving motivational climates were positively and significantly linked to general dispositional flow. Multiple regression analysis indicated that both task and ego goal orientations and perceived task- and ego-oriented climates predicted dispositional flow. Males displayed a stronger ego orientation, and were more likely to report that they participated in an ego-oriented climate, than did females. To the contrary, the females were more likely to perceive a task-oriented climate than did the males. No meaningful differences were found between males and females in general dispositional flow.

Bienestar Psicologico

En este estudio se pretende describir el bienestar psicológico y la motivación de hockystas amateurs que estudian/trabajan y deben cumplir con una rutina de alto rendimiento para representar a Chile en el hockey césped. Para ello se indagó en el bienestar psicológico desde la perspectiva de Ryff, y en la motivación desde la Teoría de la Autodeterminación (TAD) de Deci y Ryan. Tras la compleja realidad a la que se enfrentan diariamente los deportistas de la muestra, es que surge el interés por conocer las variables psicológicas mencionadas anteriormente. Teniendo en cuenta que pudieran estar relacionadas a través de las diferentes dimensiones que las componen. Por lo tanto, al potenciar algunas de estas dimensiones se estaría influyendo tanto en el bienestar psicológico como en la motivación de los deportistas, lo que nos ayudaría a describir como es el bienestar psicológico y la motivación de estos. This study aims to describe psychological wellbeing and motivation in amateur hockey players who study/work and must obey to a high performance routine to represent Chile in field hockey. Wellbeing approaches made by Ryff were considered for this research, as well as self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan) to investigate motivation. After the complex reality this amateur hockey players face every day, it becomes interesting to study the psychological variables mentioned above. Believing that they could be related through different dimensions that compose them. Therefore, when you maximize the dimensions of both theories, it would be directly influencing the psychological well-being and motivation of athletes, this could help us to describe psychological well-being and motivation of them.

AbstractA new measure, Partner Behaviours as Social Context (PBSC), was developed and tested in two studies (N = 215, N = 316) and tested as a correlate of psychological wellbeing in a third (N = 157). Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000) and related research has suggested that there are six important dimensions of partner behaviours, which should be associated with individual psychological need fulfilment, wellbeing and development. Three of these dimensions are positive, including warmth, or provision of love/affection; autonomy support, or supporting a partner's decisions; and structure, or being consistent and reliable. Three of these dimensions are negative, namely rejection, or ignoring/being hostile to a partner; coercion, or being controlling/demanding; and chaos, or unpredictability. Factor analysis supported the six-dimensional construct. The six PBSC dimensions, positive and negative subscales and total score had good distributional properties, high internal consistency, related as expected to other relationship quality measures, and diverged from most personality constructs. All PBSC scales were related to wellbeing, with some behaviours more related than others. For example, coercion was strongly associated with compromised wellbeing, while warmth showed weak, positive associations with positive functioning. The PBSC is expected to have utility in both research and clinical settings.
