A great deal has been written about the motivation of young people in physical activity, and determinants activity for this age group have identified as a research priority. Despite this, there are few large-scale studies identifying “types” or “clusters” based on their scores validated inventories. This study reports results cluster analysis large national sample ( n = 2,510) 12- to 15-year-olds using contemporary approaches motivation: achievement goal orientations, self-determination...
This study tested the replicability and cross-cultural invariance of a trans-contextual model motivation across 4 samples from diverse cultures.The proposes motivational sequence in which perceived autonomy support (PAS) physical education (PE) predicts autonomous motivation, intentions, behavior leisure-time (LT) activity context.High-school pupils Britain, Greece, Poland, Singapore completed measures PAS motives PE context.Goodfitting path-analytic models supported main hypotheses British,...
The present article conducts a meta-analytic review of the research adopting perceived locus causality in contexts sport, exercise, and physical education. A literature search published articles identified three main foci: (a) development instruments that assess causality; (b) examination construct validity by investigating relevance self-determination continuum as well using antecedents (e.g., competence) outcomes intentions); (c) integration Nicholls’ (1984) concepts task ego orientation...
Three studies are reported of children and youth aged 11–19 years (n = 3478) examining the nature beliefs about athletic ability. Drawing on related research in academic, moral stereotyping domains, development a psychometric instrument assessing ability is detailed. Support was found for multidimensional hierarchical structure that invariant across age gender. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed comprising two higher-order factors entity incremental underpinned by stable gift (entity),...
Background: Physical activity is a major public health issue as trends show inadequate levels of physical for and rising obesity. Understanding motivation in youth by assessing their motivational profiles associated with school education could inform future interventions. Aims: To investigate goal orientation perceived competence young adolescents to test the nature differences between clusters on measures. Sample: Boys ( N = 427) girls 391), aged 11‐14 years, from two comprehensive schools...
Developing effective exercise programmes for the paediatric population is a strategy decreasing obesity and expected to help in eventually limiting obesity-associated long-term health societal impact. In this study, effects of 12-week twice weekly additional training, which comprised combination circuit-based resistance training aerobic exercises, typical physical education sessions, on fitness, body composition serum C-reactive protein (CRP) lipids were analysed 13- 14-year-old obese boys...
The present study tested the cross-cultural generalizability of measurement and structural parameters theory planned behavior (TPB) among youth in a physical activity context. Pupils from five cultural groups completed measures attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control (PBC), intentions for activity. Five weeks later, participants self-report behavior. Confirmatory factor analyses multisample equation models revealed well-fitting within each sample with minimal variations...
Digital gaming is fast becoming a favorite activity all over the world. Yet very few studies have examined underlying motivational processes involved in digital gaming. One force that receives little attention psychology passion, which could help us understand motivation of gamers. The purpose present study was to identify subgroups young people with distinctive passion profiles on self-determined regulations, flow dispositions, affect, and engagement time hundred fifty-five students from...
Abstract There is growing evidence that small‐scale, coastal, passive net fisheries may be the largest single threat to some sea turtle populations. We review assessments of interactions in these fisheries, and experiments on gear‐technology approaches (modifying gear designs, materials fishing methods) mitigate by‐catch, available from a small number studies fisheries. Additional are needed improve limited understanding relative degree risk coastal pose populations, prioritize conservation...
The development of effective self-regulated learning strategies is interest to educationalists. In this paper, we examine inherent individual difference in based on Motivated Learning for Questionnaire (MLSQ) using the cluster analytic approach and terms self-determination theory related variables. sample study consisted 238 junior college students from 12 intact classes. Two adaptive clusters two maladaptive were uncovered MLSQ, with showing better academic grades. Results one-way MANOVA...
The purpose of the current study is to examine relationships between need satisfaction, motivation, and outcomes as well differential effects three psychological needs. sample consisted 1549 students from 10 secondary schools in Singapore. Structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis showed that students' needs are positively related autonomous this turn, lead higher enjoyment, value lower pressure. On other hand, were negatively controlled motivation. Controlled motivation was pressure but...
Abstract We explored the combined relationships between need satisfaction and frustration their simultaneous associations with motivation, well-being, ill-being. Data from two cross-sectional samples that represent different physical activity contexts, education (N = 274; M age 14.18 ± 1.42 years) leisure-time sport 160; 22.98 8.79 years), are reported. The identification of distinctive subgroups (need profiles) which had unique ill-being provided evidence for distinct, yet co-occurring...
The purpose of the current study is to test self-determination theory (SDT) continuum hypothesis motivation using latent profile analysis (LPA). A total 3,220 school students took part in study. We compared LPA solutions estimated four types versus two higher-order dimensions assess their degree correspondence SDT hypothesis. To examine concurrent validity profiles, we also verified associations with three predictors (age, gender, perception physical education teachers’ autonomy-supportive...
This study tests the generalizability of factor pattern, structural parameters, and latent mean structure a multidimensional, hierarchical model physical self-concept in adolescents across gender grade. A children's version Physical Self-Perception Profile (C-PSPP) was administered to seventh-, eighth- ninth-grade high school students ( N= 2,969). Two priori models were proposed: confirmatory factor-analytic that hypothesized multidimensional self-concept; equation proposed with global as...
Although several studies support the existence of a negative stream effect on lower-ability students' academic self-concept, there is not enough longitudinal research evidence to preclude possibility that may only be temporary. In addition, much known about streaming changes in self-concept over time.The main aims study were examine (a) immediately after process, and at yearly intervals for 3 consecutive years, (b) year period.The sample comprised 495 Secondary 1 students (approximate age...
