“…Para Vallerand (2008) e Vallerand et al (2006, paixão é o principal componente da participação em modalidades esportivas, sendo definida como uma forte inclinação para uma atividade que as pessoas gostam de exercer, que acham importante e na qual investem tempo e energia. Essas atividades passam a ser caracterizadas como elementos centrais da identidade, e os indivíduos que são apaixonados pelo que fazem se sentem vivos, têm um alto grau de excitação e prazer em sua atividade, especialmente naquelas que são agradáveis e possibilitam satisfação das necessidades de competência, autonomia e relacionamento.…”

RESUMOO objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o significado que tem o trabalho de arbitrar para os árbitros brasileiros de futebol. Foram avaliados vinte e quatro árbitros profissionais, dos quais dezessete pertenciam ao quadro de árbitros da FIFA do ano de 2011 e sete eram aspirantes ao quadro da FIFA. Para isto foi-lhes feita a pergunta "Qual o significado do arbitrar para você?". A análise dos discursos foi feita de acordo com os procedimentos recomendados por Miles;Huberman (2004). Foram obtidas quatro categorias de resposta. Um aspecto interessante observado diz respeito ao contexto do futebol como incentivador para a carreira de árbitro. Isso nos leva a considerar que fazer parte do "espetáculo futebol" foi, por si só, um fator de engajamento na atividade, mas, além disso, representa uma parte expressiva da vida do árbitro, e o significado atribuído ao trabalho de arbitrar mostra que essa atividade se converte em paixão e, aparentemente, em adaptações positivas às diferentes situações enfrentadas, independentemente do nível ou da função que se desempenhe em campo.

“…Overall, findings show that harmonious passion tends to be associated with positive characteristics, processes, and outcomes (e.g., positive emotions). In contrast, obsessive passion tends to be associated with negative characteristics, processes, and outcomes (e.g., negative emotions) (see Vallerand, 2008Vallerand, , 2010, for comprehensive reviews). Surprisingly, only two studies so far have investigated passion for studying (Vallerand et al, 2007, Studies 1 and 2).…”

“…In obsessive passion, individuals engage in an activity because of intra-or interpersonal pressure, and engaging in the activity diverts time and resources away from other life domains. Here, the passion controls the person (Vallerand, 2008;Vallerand et al, 2003Vallerand et al, , 2007.…”

“…To examine these questions, we applied the dualistic model of passion (Vallerand, 2008), a motivational theory in line with SDT. The dualistic model of passion has previously been applied to Internet use (Seguin-Levesque, Laliberte, Pelletier, Blanchard, & Vallerand, 2003) and video gaming domains (Wang, Khoo, Liu, & Divaharan, 2008), and thus provides a means for assessing "wanting to" versus "having to" play.…”

More Americans now play video games than go to the movies (NPD Group, 2009). The meteoric rise in popularity of video games highlights the need for research approaches that can deepen our scientific understanding of video game engagement. This article advances a theory-based motivational model for examining and evaluating the ways by which video game engagement shapes psychological processes and influences well-being. Rooted in self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000;Ryan & Deci, 2000a), our approach suggests that both the appeal and well-being effects of video games are based in their potential to satisfy basic psychological needs for competence, autonomy, and relatedness. We review recent empirical evidence applying this perspective to a number of topics including need satisfaction in games and short-term well-being, the motivational appeal of violent game content, motivational sources of postplay aggression, the antecedents and consequences of disordered patterns of game engagement, and the determinants and effects of immersion. Implications of this model for the future study of game motivation and the use of video games in interventions are discussed.Keywords: self-determination theory, motivation, video games Psychological research examining video games is presently undergoing a dramatic shift in focus. Until very recently, the preponderance of research in video games has been concern-focused, with studies aimed at identifying the potential negative effects of gaming. Specific foci of these research programs have included the relations between gaming and increased aggression, social isolation, and overuse (Anderson & Bushman, 2001;Grüsser, Thalemann, & Griffiths, 2007). Yet, more recently, a number of researchers have become intervention-focused, hoping to harness the magnetic motivational appeal of video games to help relieve pain and stress or customizing games for educational or health-related interventions (for a review, see Baranowski, Buday, Thompson, & Baranowski, 2008). Increasingly, intervention-focused researchers are demonstrating that games can positively influence both psychological and physical well-being.Although the goals of both concern-focused and interventionfocused research are dissimilar, both share a descriptive research approach: The methods and theories they employ evaluate the extent to which video games exert positive, negative, or no influence on specified outcomes under a given set of circumstances. What is less well understood and less widely studied are the mechanisms that underlie these positive and negative links.In this article, we outline a theory-based empirical model for understanding and evaluating the processes through which video games motivate sustained engagement, and how experiences with these games affect the psychological and physical well-being of players. Our approach is based on self-determination theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 2000;Ryan & Deci, 2000a), a macrotheory of human motivation that is principally concerned with the potential of social contexts to prov...
