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 Exploring Relationships Between Motivational Climate Parental Involvement Fear of Failure and Goal Orientations in Youth Club Soccer Athletes written by Robert Schlote and published by . 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.

Download or read book Assessment in Applied Sport Psychology written by Jim Taylor and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2017-08-09 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assessment in Applied Sport Psychology is a comprehensive resource that offers both students and professionals the opportunity to hone their skills to help their clients, starting with the initial consultation and lasting through a long-term relationship. In this text, Jim Taylor and a team of sport psychology experts help practitioners gain a deep understanding of assessment in order to build trusting relationships and effective intervention plans that address the needs and goals of their clients. Part I of Assessment in Applied Sport Psychology covers topics such as the importance of assessment, the appropriateness of qualitative and quantitative assessment, ethical issues that can arise from assessment, and the impact of diversity in the use of assessment. Part II introduces readers to six ways that consultants can assess athletes: mental health screening, personality tests, sport-specific objective measures, interviewing, observation, and applied psychophysiology. Chapters in this section explain the strengths and weaknesses of each approach—for example, when traditional pencil-and-paper and observation approaches may be more appropriate than interviewing—and offer consultants a more complete toolbox of assessments to use when working with athletes. Part III addresses special issues, such as career transition, talent identification, and sport injury and rehabilitation. One chapter is devoted to the hot-button issue of sport-related concussions. Tables at the end of most chapters in parts II and III contain invaluable information about each of the assessment tools described, including its purpose, publication details, and how to obtain it. Chapters also contain sidebars that provide sample scenarios, recommended approaches, and exercises to use with clients. Assessment in Applied Sport Psychology works toward two main goals. The first is to help consultants gain a complete understanding of their clients through the use of a broad range of assessment tools. The second is to show consultants how to ethically and effectively use assessments to develop a comprehensive understanding of their clients, thus enabling them to assist their clients in achieving their competitive and personal goals.

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.

Download or read book ASSOCIATION OF COACH PEER AND PARENT INITIATED MOTIVATIONAL CLIMATE WITH BURNOUT AND ENGAGEMENT written by Jordan Barbee and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sport participation can be an engaging experience and result in health benefits, skill development, and social camaraderie. However, it can also result in negative outcomes such as burnout. Burnout is negatively associated with sport engagement and the quality of athlete experiences. It also contributes to the reasons why athletes discontinue sport and negatively impacts their well-being. Research has shown that burnout and engagement are potentially influenced by social agents (e.g. parents, peers, and coaches) such as through the motivational climate they create. A mastery climate is one in which success is defined in terms of selfreferenced standards of excellence with a focus on improvement, mistakes being viewed as a part of learning, and effort. Within a performance climate, success is defined in terms of social comparison and outperforming others. This can result in intra-team rivalries and conflict. Although research has shown that the motivational climate created by social agents impacts athletes sport experiences, few studies have examined whether the climate created by coaches, parents, or peers has the strongest association with burnout and engagement. Therefore, the first purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of the motivational climate created by coaches, parents, and peers with engagement and burnout. The second purpose was to determine which social agent is the strongest predictor of athlete engagement and burnout. Following student activities coordinator and coach approval, 150 high school athletes completed surveys on athlete engagement and burnout, along with surveys assessing athlete perceptions of the motivational climate created by coaches, parents, and peers. Correlational analyses were used to examine the relationship of athlete engagement and burnout with motivational climate while regression analyses were used to determine which social agent's motivational climate had the strongest association with burnout and engagement. Overall, a mastery climate created by coaches and peers had significant (p[less-than]0.05), small to moderate relationships with the devaluation and reduced sense of accomplishment dimension of burnout (i.e., r = -.22 to -.44), and engagement (i.e., r = .21 to .37). A parent mastery climate was found to be unrelated to burnout and had small, significant relationships with engagement (i.e., r = .21 to .27). The relationship between performance climates created by the social agents with burnout and engagement were smaller in magnitude compared to the mastery climates (r= -.10 to .19). When all three social agents were examined together, the motivational climates collectively explained 13.3% of the variance for overall burnout and 29.3% of the variance for overall engagement. When examining individual subscales, the most variance in burnout was reduced accomplishment (r2 = 0.26), followed by devaluation (r2= 0.13) and exhaustion (r2 = 0.06). For engagement each subscale was similar to overall engagement (r2= 0.20 to r2= 0.23). It was found that the mastery climates created by coaches and peers predicted lower burnout scores whereas the climate created by parents was not a significant predictor. Mastery climates created by all three social agents were predictive (p[less-than]0.05) of higher engagement with peers having stronger associations compared to coaches and parents. The extent to which parents and peers created a performance climate was unrelated to burnout or engagement. Contrary to predictions, a coach created performance climate was linked to higher engagement, but the relationship was small in magnitude (partial r= 0.18). Overall, when high school athletes perceived that their coaches and peers created a mastery climate, they reported higher engagement and lower burnout. A mastery climate in which success is defined by on effort, learning, and improvement should be created by coaches, parents and peers for athletes to experience high engagement and low burnout.

Download or read book Good Sport written by Dr Jay-Lee Nair and published by Brio Books Pty Ltd. This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a parent who wants to be a part of their child’s sport journey, no matter how far they go? Do you sometimes feel just as frustrated as your young athlete with the debrief during the journey home after the game? Perhaps you struggle to find the right words to say — or sometimes not to say — to your child, so have resorted to saying nothing at all. Dr Jay-Lee Nair has the answers. This book will help you learn how best to support and talk to your child not just before before, but during and after the game. Recent events surrounding sport icons, such as Adam Goodes, Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles, have shown us that athletes are taking greater ownership of their performance and ‘calling the shots’ in the most difficult of circumstances. This is possible when an athlete has a collaborative support team. The same applies for young athletes at all stages of their career and at all levels of their sport. They benefit from having a support team of their parents, coaches and teachers, who understand the importance of helping them to be independent and adaptable. This generation can be highly resistant to advice and direction from their supporters. Young athletes want to be empowered to think for themselves during the game and adapt quickly on their own. This book is for parents, coaches and teachers who want to help their young athletes thrive in competitive environments – whether they are just starting out or competing at an elite level. It is for those who believe in the power sport has to positively shape children into exceptional adults — and athletes — while preventing anxiety and pressure in the sport journey.
Download or read book Parent Motivational Climate and Goal Orientations of Female Collegiate Athletes a Structural Equation Model written by Tobie Lauren Langsam and published by . 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.
