Goal Striving and Well-Being in Sport: The Role of Contextual and Personal Motivation

Abstract

1This investigation sought to clarify mixed results in the literature exploring coach behaviors, 2 basic psychological needs, goal motivation, and well-and ill-being. Regional level team sport 3 athletes (N = 241) completed questionnaires on the aforementioned variables at the beginning 4 of the season. A subsample (n = 70) provided saliva samples to assess physical ill-being. At 5 the end of the season, athletes (n = 98) reported their goal motivation and attainment. 6Structural equation modeling demonstrated that coach behaviors were related to needs 7 satisfaction and thwarting, which were related to autonomous and controlled goal motives 8 respectively. Autonomous motives were related to well-and ill-being; controlled motives 9were only related to ill-being. Over time, only end-of-season autonomous goal motives were 10 related to goal attainment. The findings provide an insight into how coaches can facilitate 11

The two sides of goal intentions: Intention self-concordance and intention strength as predictors of physical activity

“…Goal intentions of external and introjected modes are categorised as non-selfconcordant. They are considered to provide an unstable basis for sustained goal pursuit because persons do not fully adhere to their goals (Healy, Ntoumanis, van Zanten, & Paine, 2014). Goal intentions of identified and intrinsic modes are classified as self-concordant.…”

La satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas en función de la formación y experiencia del deportista: características sociodeportivas

“…Actualmente, en el ámbito deportivo, los estudios realizados con el BNSSS están enfocados a relacionar las necesidades psicológicas básicas con diversas variables poco relacionadas con características demográficas o deportivas, como son: engagement y antipatía (Curran, Hill y Niemic, 2013;Curran, Hill, Hall y Jowett, 2014;Curran, Hill, Ntoumanis, Hall y Jowett, 2016); experiencia, diálogo interno y estado de flow (Delrue, Mouratidis, Haerens, de Muynck, Aelterman y Vansteenkiste, 2016); clima motivacional (Hodge y Gucciardi, 2015;Morela, Hatzigeorgiadis, Sanchez, Papaioannou y Elbe, 2017), autoridad del entrenador (Brinton, Hill y Ward, 2017); bienestar, metas de logro y conducta del entrenador (Healy, Ntoumanis, van Zanten y Paine, 2014;Pope y Wilson, 2014); perfeccionismo, burnout y engagement ; liderazgo y bienestar (Stenling y Tafvelin, 2014, Stenling, Lindwall y Hassmén, 2015; y, burnout (Li, Wang y Pyun , 2017), entre otros.…”

Goal motives and multiple-goal striving in sport and academia: A person-centered investigation of goal motives and inter-goal relations

“…We included in the analysis the four 21 motivation regulations for each goal; eight variables were used in total. This approach is different to 22 previous SC model research 3,4,11 , where the extrinsic and introjected, and identified and intrinsic 23 scores have been aggregated to form controlled and autonomous goal motives respectively. Our 24 approach was based on two reasons.…”

“…First, the four items represent separate (albeit related) motivation 25 regulations. Additionally, previous research has often found these goal motives aggregates to have 26 poor internal reliability 3,11 . Unlike previous studies, in our analyses we were unable to correct for 27 GOAL MOTIVATION AND MULTIPLE GOAL STRIVING 6 measurement error.…”
