This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: Youth athletes participate in youth sport for various reasons. Parents, coaches, and others in one's environment create the atmosphere that can promote or inhibit such participation. However, one's motivation towards achievement in sport can at times be negatively influenced by these factors when they fear failure. The aim of the current study was to explore the relationships between environmental factors and goal orientations, while considering fear of failure. Select youth soccer athletes reported that mastery goal orientations were higher when they perceived a task-involving climate and parental involvement was moderate. Performance orientations were higher when parent involvement was high, athletes perceived an ego-involving climate, and they had higher fear of failure. Additionally, fear of failure aided in understanding these relationships through partial correlations. Without considering fear of failure, the relationships between climate and parents with goal orientations are incomplete. These findings are paramount to improving and sustaining youth sport participation.

Book excerpt: Objectives: The objectives of this research were to gain a detailed understanding of approaches, facilitators and constraints to creating an optimal motivational climate within elite youth soccer programs in North America by examining the insights of expert coaches in this field. Design and Method: By using a case study design, six coaches were interviewed using a semi-structured interview format which explored perceptions about and key aspects of the optimal motivational climate and identified specific strategies while reporting challenges to the process of creating the desired climate. Inductive thematic analysis was used to identify major recurring themes that occurred amongst the participant responses and then discussed from the perspective of existing motivational frameworks. Results: Five dimensions of the desired motivational climate emerged from the theming: developing the autonomous player, connectedness, the opportunity for player advancement, failure as part of the process, and context may have an influence on the climate. Five specific strategies used in creating the desired motivational climate were identified: communication within the group, player advancement, modeling, selection/de-selection, and communication with parents. Five challenges to creating the desired climate surfaced: contact time with the athletes, parents/parental involvement, consistency within club staff, player movement within the club, and mentality of the player coming into the club. Conclusion: The findings of this study show that coaches tried to create a motivational climate that was autonomy supportive and task involving. Some aspects of the motivational climate were consistent however with facets of an ego-involving climate. It was also found that parents were believed to have an impact on the motivational environment surrounding the players. The research highlights the complexity of motivational climate in elite youth soccer programs and demonstrates the need for further exploration into education for coaches as well as observation and intervention-based research.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Parents are primary influencers in helping children maintain athletic involvement through adulthood (Dixon, Warner, & Bruening, 2008) . The study examined the relationships between parental motivational climates and goal orientations of female collegiate athletes {N = 349) from the Northeast. The questionnaires utilized were the Parent-Initiated Motivational Climate Questionnaire-2 (PIMCQ-2; White, 1996) and the Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ; Duda, 1989) . A structural equation model was applied to better understand the relationships among Success-Without-Effort Climate, Learning/Enjoyment Climate, Worry-Conducive Climate, Task Orientation, and Ego Orientation. Model A had four Beta paths of Learning/Enjoyment Climate to Task (E = .43) and Ego Orientation (P = .12) and Worry-Conducive Climate and Success-Without-Effort Climate to Ego Orientation (T = .21 .27 respectively). Model B had three Beta paths of Learning/Enjoyment Climate to Task Orientation (T = .43) and Worry-Conducive Climate and Success-Without-Effort Climate to Ego Orientation (r = .16, .26 respectively). Both models had adequate fit. Examination into parental influence and collegiate athletes warrants future research.

This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: This study examines the effect of parental feedback on young athletes perceived motivation climate, goal orientation, and goal involvement. Additional psychological variables, such as anxiety, affect, performance, and enjoyment were measured. Young competitive male soccer players (n = 81) and their parents were randomly assigned to either ego-oriented or task-oriented parental feedback conditions. Players performed 6 soccer penalty kicks and completed measures of perceived motivation climate, goal orientation, goal involvement, anxiety, affect, performance, and enjoyment prior and after receiving feedback from their parents. Young athletes receiving ego-oriented feedback from their parents increased significantly in their perceived performance motivational climate in both specific (i.e., parental only) and general (i.e., including coach, parents, teammates, etc) levels. Furthermore, these athletes were significantly more ego-involved. Players in the task-oriental parental feedback condition increase significantly in their perception of mastery motivational climate in both levels as well as in their task-involvement. No pre-to-post between groups differences were revealed for anxiety, affect, performance, and enjoyment.

Download or read book An Examination of the Relationship Among TARGET Structures Team Motivational Climate and Achievement Goal Orientation written by Susan L. Becker and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current research on sport motivation has focused primarily on goal perspective approaches in an attempt to understand behavior in achievement situations (Ames, 1984; Nicholls, 1984). According to Nicholls' (1984) theory, the achievement goal orientation an individual develops may be influenced by both individual differences and situational factors. Relative to situational factors, the team motivational climate may promote either a task-involved or an ego-involved orientation dependent upon which goal orientation is emphasized by the coach. In addition, Ames (1992a) argued that environmental structures influence the motivational climate which ultimately impact the athlete's achievement orientation. Educational research (Epstein, 1988) has identified specific environmental structures (TARGET structures) as being salient to the development of a mastery climate. Little research has been conducted on athletes' perceptions of their coaches' behavior, in regard to specific environmental structures, and how this may ultimately influence athletes' achievement goal orientation. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among TARGET structures, team motivational climate, and achievement goal orientation. The subjects consisted of 186 high school softball players and 171 high school baseball players, ranging in age from 14 to 18 years. The TEOSQ, PMCSQ, and TARGET questionnaires were administered to subjects at the beginning of a sport practice. LISREL8, a structural equation modeling program, was the statistical analysis employed. Results indicated that a positive linear relationship existed, linking task and reward/evaluation components of the TARGET structures to mastery climate to task orientation. These two structures may be the most salient structures within a sport setting. This finding suggests there is a positive association between coaches' promotion and employment of task-involved goals in their practices and athletes' perception of a mastery-oriented team motivational climate. Direct relationships linking three TARGET structures to performance climate to ego orientation were also reported. Grouping and authority components of the TARGET structures were found to have a significant inverse relationship with performance climate, while task structure and performance climate were positively related. Additionally, the results confirmed that there was a significant positive relationship between mastery climate and task orientation and between performance climate and ego orientation.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The purpose of the study is to determine a causal relationship between the perceived coach motivational climate, goal orientation, andintrinsic motivation in youth sports. A total of 627 (male = 367; female 260) athletes between the age of 14 to 17 years from a sportcamp in Trinidad and Tobago took part in the study. Athletes completed a battery of tests that included the Motivational Climate Scalefor Youth Sport (MCSYS), Task Ego Orientation Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ), and Sport Motivational Scale-II (SMS-II). The goodness-of-fit indices including X2, RMSEA, CFI, NNFI, together with parameter estimate values indicated that the data did not fit the models.Cronbach's (1951) alpha reliability estimates suggested that the items were not measuring the relevant factorial structures. Thefindings suggest the need for further investigation of the cross-cultural generalizability of the achievement motivation theory in non-westernize cultures. Also, the need to develop questionnaires that indicate cross-cultural construct equivalence.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between a coach's goal orientation and the motivational climate perceived by the players. The relationship between players' perceptions of the motivational climate and players' intrinsic motivation was also examined. This study was intended to provide evidence of how the coach's goal orientation affects the motivational climate perceived by players, and how perceived motivational climate influences intrinsic motivation. High school coaches and their players were contacted and participated in this study. Coaches (n = 18) and players (n = 187) filled out the Task and Ego in Sport Questionnaire and the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire-2. In addition, players filled out the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory. It was hypothesized that coach goal orientation and perceived motivational climate would be related, but the correlations between coach task goal orientation and player mastery climate (r = .283, p> .05), and between coach ego goal orientation and player performance motivational climate (r = -.265, p> .05) were not significant. Player mastery motivational climate was correlated with interest (r = .419, p

Schwebel and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sport-related motivational climate research has been primarily focused on the impact of coaches, whereas parental influence has been a secondary focus. This study focused on 543 youth athletes (ages 9-16) on 82 teams in recreational community center basketball leagues. The impact of the motivational climates created both by parents and by coaches on post-season athlete outcomes of anxiety, self-esteem, and achievement goal orientation was examined. A newly developed adaptation of the Perceptions of Success Questionnaire, the Parent-Attributed Standards for Success Scale (PASSS) was used to measure athletes' perceptions of mastery and ego-oriented parental success criteria, the central component of parental motivational climate. A multi-level regression analysis revealed that perceived parent success standards were a significant predictor of youth outcomes over and above coach motivational climate. We discuss why we think this occurred and suggest future directions for further research on the subject matter as well as possible interventions that can be used to increase positive parent motivational styles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between specific aspects of the coach-athlete and athlete-athlete relationship on participation in competitive youth soccer was examined in the current study. The purpose of this study was to investigate the independent and combined effects from multiple social agents to examine whether age, gender, and competitive level moderate how status rank, achievement goal orientation, coaching behaviors, and friendship quality influence youth soccer participation. The design of the current study utilized quantitative and qualitative research methods. Four online questionnaires including: 1) an Individual Skills Rank Assessment, 2) Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire-2, 3) Leadership Scale for Sports, and 4) Sport Friendship Quality Scale, were completed by 172 youth participants. Sixteen youth soccer coaches completed the Status Rank Assessment online. Quantitative results revealed significant participation differences exist based upon the interaction among status rank, age, gender, competitive level, achievement goal orientation, coaching behavior and friendship quality, with gender and self-esteem enhancement representing the two strongest predictors in determining which athletes switched teams within the past 12 months. Interview data suggested youth soccer athletes' initial decision to play for specific teams is not based upon pre-existing friendships. They do, however, typically become friends with their teammates throughout the season, which makes individual experiences more enjoyable. Furthermore, the friendships formed with teammates are indirectly influenced by the motivational climate established by their coach through: 1) the achievement orientation emphasized, and 2) the coaching behaviors displayed. Additionally, participants discussed the following common themes: 1) Friendships Make Soccer More Fun but Are Not Necessary, 2) Girl Talk, 3) Just Want to Hang Out, 4) Confidence is Important, but Assumed, 5) Coach Knows Best, and 6) Play Your Best and Improve each Time.The relationship between specific aspects of the coach-athlete and athlete-athlete relationship on participation in competitive youth soccer was examined in the current study.
