Analysis of Motivational Profiles on Sportspersonship Orientations in Secondary School Physical Education Students: A Self-Determination Theory-Based Perspective

Abstract

<jats:p><jats:bold>Purpose</jats:bold>: This research aimed to examine the possible difference of secondary school students’ motivational profiles on their sportsmanship orientation in physical education. <jats:bold>Methods</jats:bold>: The participants were 707 (53.61% men; <jats:italic>M</jats:italic><jats:sub>age</jats:sub> = 14.97, <jats:italic>SD</jats:italic><jats:sub>age</jats:sub> = 1.58) secondary school students, who completed measures on their perception of behavioral regulation and sportsmanship orientation in physical education. A two-step cluster analysis was performed to explore the motivational profiles, and multivariate analysis of variance tests was conducted to examine differences on sportsmanship orientation among motivational profiles. <jats:bold>Results</jats:bold>: The cluster analysis identified four motivational profiles (controlled, amotivated, high motivational regulation, and autonomous). The multivariate analysis of variance tests found that the students in the four motivational profiles reported different levels in respect for social conventions, respect for rules and teachers, full commitment, and respect for classmates. <jats:bold>Discussion/Conclusions</jats:bold>: The motivational profiles provided a more comprehensive understanding of the motivational processes for each sportsmanship orientation in secondary school students in physical education.</jats:p>

“…Similar assumptions have been made by experts in several domains. e majority of them have a propensity to fully utilise cutting-edge technologies in the construction of stadiums and gymnasiums, enhance the level of service provided by stadiums and gymnasiums, optimize resource allocation, gradually implement venue information management, and boost the effectiveness of smart sports teaching management [15].…”

Sport Education and Sportsmanship Orientations: An Intervention in High School Students

“…On the basis of this, physical education (PE), due to its unique features with respect to interpersonal and social interactions among students in an open space, provides an optimal context for the development of these values [2]. To accomplish this goal, PE focuses on the development of the students' ethical and moral dimensions in general [3], which has been progressively specified in the display of sporting behaviors [4] measured through different indicators such as sportsmanship [5][6][7].…”

“…In addition, it should be highlighted that the absence of a widespread agreement regarding the conceptualization of sportsmanship [6,34] has likely hampered a solid understanding of how the curricular scaffold of SE could influence the development of students' sportsmanship in the context of the school PE. Indeed, most of the studies on SE have considered the use of unclear theoretical frameworks for the analysis of sportsmanship.…”

A statistical study on the similarities and differences of sports interests among college students

“…Literature [16] compared the differences in the confidence mindset of student-athletes in individual sport competitive events across team sport competitive events, and no significant differences were found in the teaching experiment. Literature [17] analyzed the characteristics of differences in student sportsmanship based on cluster analysis and pointed out that such groups of students with differences in sportsmanship differ in social customs and respect for teachers, commitment to learning, and solidarity with classmates. Literature [18] suggests that people's active participation in sports activities can improve the perception of sports events and contribute to the improvement of the quality of life, which in turn positively influences people's support for sports events.…”
