“…The results confirm the findings of previous researchers who found that less self-determined forms of motivation were associated with less adaptive behavior (Knee and Zuckerman, 1998;Knee, Patrick et al, 2002;Amiot et al, 2004;Amiot et al, 2008).…”

Anxiety is a natural thing and can happen to everyone; it is a reaction to the inability to overcome problems or lack of security. However, excessive anxiety can impede one's function in life. Anxiety experienced by students can also hinder them in performing better. Setting goals that are difficult to achieve can cause students to experience anxiety or fear of not being able to achieve them. This study aims to examine the relationship model between several dispositional factors that can affect students' anxiety. The author investigated the relation between self-determined motivation, achievement goals, and anxiety in 365 business students. Specifically, the author investigated the relation between selfdetermined motivation (intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and amotivation), mastery goal orientation, performance-goal orientation and students' anxiety. Results of Pearson's correlation showed that students' anxiety was positively associated with performance-goal orientation, extrinsic motivation, and amotivation, but students' anxiety was not associated either with intrinsic motivation or mastery-goal orientation. Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation correlated with each other, but correlation between mastery and performance-goal orientation was not significant. Implementing structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the relationship models. The first model used three dimensions of motivation as mediating variables of influence between achievement goals and students' anxiety. The second model used two dimension of achievement orientation as mediating variables of influence between motivation and students' anxiety. It was found that the proposed models have a good fit. Students' anxiety was influenced primarily by extrinsic motivation, amotivation, and performance-goal orientation. Further, discussions on the results of this study are discussed in detail in this article.Key words: Intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, amotivation, mastery goal orientation, performance goal orientation, students' anxiety.

Intrinsic motivation encourages individuals to focus on learning and mastering task skills, while extrinsic motivation emphasizes demonstrating that individuals have high abilities (Utman, 1997). Recent studies have found no significant negative relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation (Bateman and Crant, 2003;Lepper et al., 2005;Lemos and Verissimo, 2014). This means that students can be motivated either by intrinsic or extrinsic factors.Students' motivation is a goal-oriented behavior that includes thinking in accordance with internal and ...

“…When athletes participate in sport in an autonomous way, they become more efficient in processing, comprehending and utilizing information loaded with emotions during competition with direct implications in sport performance. In fact, it has been observed that selfdetermined motivation predicts positively the utilization of confrontation strategies during a stressful sport competition, while at the same time it is associated with the achievement of objective results (Amiot et al, 2004). The next objective of this study was to find out if EI is a relatively stable trait in sport.…”

The results of recent studies indicate that athletes differ in the degree in which they perceive, process and regulate their emotions. The present study aims to utilize these findings in order to examine if self-determined motivation in sport could explain individual variations in emotional intelligence (EI) and results of sport competitions. A model of structural equations has proven these relationships in 386 canoeists from 35 countries. These results support the mediating factor of EI in relation to autonomous motivation and performance index (PI). The stability of EI and gender differences were analysed as a secondary objective. The results showed that EI stays relatively stable independent from the years of practice. However, rather surprisingly, men scored higher than women in emotional control and regulation as well as in empathy. These findings contribute to the study of EI in sport and have important implications for human performance in sport competition at high level.

Training centers are among the mechanisms of National Technical Direction, to develop Tunisian football, and to improve performance in youth categories. The objective of our study is to examine the coping strategies of the competition, solicited by the elites affiliated to the regional training centers of the Tunisian Football Federation (TFF) and evaluate the interaction effects of coaching, experience, and the technical position. 76 U15 football players regularly evaluated through high-stakes competitions are invited in one hour after the competition, to settle against the Arabic version of the inventory of coping strategies of the sporting competition. Data were collected and analyzed by SPSS IBM and AMOS version 21.0.0. The results suggest that mental distraction is the coping strategy most solicited by our participants, the MANOVA analysis, only disclosed the effect of the coaching factor on mental imagery, thought control, Effort expenditure and Relaxation, but regression analysis revealed no strong explanatory relationship. Overall, this study allowed us to deepen our knowledge about the coping strategies of the competition used in the preformation process in the different training centers of the TFF. In addition, the impact of experience, coaching and the specificity of the technical position, on the choice of these strategies in com-
