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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grit and achievement motivation have been predictors of behavior in academia and military settings (Duckworth, Matthews, Peterson, & Kelly, 2007), but to date, research on their effects on sport performance has been limited. Given grit's predictive role in other performance domains, grit may be influential in athletes' long-term goal attainment, interacting with their achievement motives and leading to better performances. Athletes' trait levels of grit may influence how they understand and respond to messages received within motivational climates from key personnel such as from coaches and teammates. We examined potential moderating effects of grit on the relationship between motivational feedback and high school soccer players (N = 71, Mage = 15.81) performance on a soccer task, their desire to persist in the task, and their choices of task difficulty. We used hierarchical multiple regression to test the main effects of feedback and grit and to determine if grit moderated the effects of feedback on performance. Grit was a significant moderator of the feedback-shooting performance relationship, accounting for 3.9% of variance. Simple slopes analysis revealed a significant effect for low (B = 13.32, SEb = 4.44, p = .004, t = 2.99), but not high, (B = 2.11, SEb = 4.31, p = .63, t = .49), grit on task success. Grit was not a significant moderator of task difficulty selection or task persistence. These results suggest that for those high in grit, feedback about natural ability or hard work is not particularly influential on performance. However, for low grit athletes, type of feedback matters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Truncated abstract] Collective efficacy (CE) has been consistently shown to contribute to team performance by improving motivation, perseverance, group goals, and expectancy in teams (Bandura, 2000; Feltz & Lirgg, 2001). Having high confidence in one's team is proposed to increase the expectancy for success, thereby increasing motivation, persistence and effort, which in turn, increases overall performance (Bandura, 1997). A series of studies were conducted to examine predictors of self and collective efficacy in semi-professional soccer. In addition, within two of these studies, the effect of pivotal hypothetical injuries on players' and coaches' perceptions of CE were also examined. In the first and second studies, hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) was utilized in order to examine simultaneous player and team level predictors of efficacy perceptions. Data were obtained from semi-professional male soccer players (N = 139, mean age = 23, SD = 4.43 yrs) from nine teams in Western Australia. Participants completed the Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ), the revised Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire-2 (PMCSQ-2) as well as measures of self-talk, self-efficacy (SE), and CE created for this study. HLM analyses indicated CE was significantly and positively associated with SE and significantly and negatively associated with perceptions of a performance-oriented motivational climate. Significant positive associations of SE were positive self-talk and average number of minutes played each game. Negative correlates of SE were a performance-oriented motivational climate and number of years played. The results illustrate the important cross-level influences of player and team level variables on SE and CE perceptions. Overall, the findings provide support for the propositions of the influence of sources of efficacy information and broaden the existing work on efficacy and motivational climate in sport. ... Future research on team processes following injury that may moderate the injury efficacy relationship may include, the effect of team leaders in an attempt to motivate the team and the verbal and non-verbal strategies of coaches. The present studies contribute to the existing body of knowledge concerning efficacy theory. Specifically, within this series of studies, individual and team level predictors of SE and CE among elite sport participants were examined. A performance-oriented motivational climate was negatively associated with CE perceptions, while players with elevated levels of SE had teams with elevated levels of CE. SE was positively associated with positive self-talk, and negatively correlated with a performance-oriented motivational climate. Further, the effects of player injury on CE perceptions also represent a valuable contribution to efficacy theory. Prior to the current studies, no researchers have studied the influence of athlete absence due to injury on CE.

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.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivational Climate (MC) is an important situational factor influencing participation in sport that is largely coach-created (Balaguer, Duda, & Crespo, 1999; Duda & Balaguer, 2007; Smith, Smoll, & Cumming, 2007). Two types of MC have been identified, task/mastery or ego/performance, with MC reflecting athletes' perceptions of the sport environment in which they practice and compete (Ntoumanis & Biddle, 1999). Although limited research has been conducted on how coaches can promote a particular type of competitive climate, achievement goal theory (AGT) has hypothesized how either type of MC can be created over time through task- or ego-focused goals (Ames, 1992; Nicholls, 1989). To date, research investigating how coach-created MC environment is perceived by athletes has been somewhat limited, particularly how this MC perception is affected other motivational correlates in sport (i.e., perfectionism, goal setting styles, and mindsets). The purpose of this dissertation was twofold: (a) to examine the Empowering-Disempowering Motivational Climate Questionnaire - Coach Version that was developed for children and adolescents in the United Kingdom in order to see how well the instrument fits an American collegiate and professional sport population, and (b) in the event that the instrument does not have acceptable fit indices, investigate whether the instrument can be revised so fit is acceptable and provide preliminary construct validity for the revised instrument. The objective of Study 1 was to validate the EDMCQ-C scale using an American population of adult athletes. However, the EDMCQ-C did not provide acceptable fit indices for an adult population, prompting a revised EDMCQ to be developed for adult American athletes labeled the EDMCQ-Adult Collegiate Sample (EDMCQ-ACS) that had three subscales (i.e. task involvement, ego involvement and controlling coaching) and demonstrated strong CFA fit indices. Study 2 used cluster analysis of the three MC subscales to create four MC profile groups, and then multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) to identify differences between profile groups on motivational correlate variables (i.e., mindsets, perfectionism, and GSSs subscales). Finally, canonical correlation analysis was used to examine the relationships between the three MC subscales in one variable set and separate analyses examining their relationship with: (a) mindsets, (b) perfectionism, (c) goal setting styles, and (d) all motivational correlate variables as one set. Results showed support for the emerging hypotheses whereby empowering motivational climates correlated significantly with functional psychological variables. Further support was shown whereby disempowering motivational climates correlated with dysfunctional psychological variables. Results were discussed in light of limitations and future directions.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis was to investigate coach-initiated motivational climate, mental wellness (i.e., well-being, resilience), and psychological safety in elite athletes. Based on previous research (e.g., Vitali et al., 2015), it was hypothesized that higher task-related coach motivational climate perceptions would positively predict well-being and resilience (H1a), whereas a higher perceived ego-related coach motivational climate would have no association with well-being and resilience (H1b). It was also hypothesized that a higher perceived taskrelated coach motivational climate would positively predict psychological safety (H2a), whereas a higher perceived ego-related coach motivational climate would negatively predict psychological safety (H2b). Using a latent profile analysis, this research also explored the additive effects of motivational climate on well-being, resilience, and psychological safety. It was generally hypothesized that the profiles characterized as having a high-ego related climate in the absence of a high task-related climate would see lower perceptions of well-being, resilience, and psychological safety relative to the other profiles (H3). Self-report survey data were collected from competitive provincial and national level soccer players across Ontario (N = 298; age range 16 to 34; 58.72% male). Using multiple linear regression, and a one-way between group analysis of variance (ANOVA), the study hypotheses were partially supported. Specifically, perceived task-related climate was a significant positive predictor of well-being(H1a: ß = .33, p

This book was released on 2019 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous social agents collectively shape an omnipresent social context in youth sport that is partially responsible for the quality of young people's athletic experiences. One's peers become increasingly important during adolescence with heightened frequency in interactions, the development of meaningful relationships, and the increased rate of comparison tendencies among like individuals (Horn & Weiss, 1991; Rubin, Bukowski, & Parker, 2006; Sullivan, 1953). Research in the peer area is scant relative to other critical social agents within the broader youth sport social climate (Smith, 2003, 2019). The purpose of this dissertation was to expand the current understanding of the role of peers in adolescents' sport experiences by closely examining the salience of peer motivational climate in the broader social-motivational context. Study 1 was a cross-sectional survey study that explored potential variations in the associations between peer motivational climate and markers of sport-related well-being as a function of individual differences in peer relationships in adolescent soccer players. Cluster analysis of peer acceptance, friendship quality, and friendship conflict variables yielded five profiles. The profile characterized by average quality sport friendship combined with relatively low peer acceptance exhibited a more consistent pattern of meaningful correlations between task-involving climate dimensions and enjoyment, anxiety, and burnout than did other profiles. The findings suggest that athletes within this peer relationship profile may be relatively more sensitive to the achievement climate reinforced by peers. Thus, peer relationships in sport may determine the salience of peer motivational climate to well-being of adolescent athletes. Study 2 was a cross-sectional survey study that aimed to challenge the established narrative about how coach and peer motivational climate perceptions link to adaptive and maladaptive achievement patterns by examining unique combinations of athletes' perceptions of coach and peer climates within their team. Cluster analysis of the higher order coach and peer climate types (i.e., task- and ego-involving) yielded four distinct climate profiles ranging least to most adaptive in regard to how they related to study outcome variables (athlete engagement, effort, and continuation). The climate profile with a low score on peer task-involving climate and moderate scores on all other climate variables associated with significantly lower engagement, effort, and continuation. This profile was not significantly different from the least adaptive profile. One climate profile was characterized by differences in the dominant climate type coaches and teammates promote (e.g., high coach ego-involving/high peer task-involving), but it did not appear to be significantly beneficial or detrimental to athletes' levels of engagement and effort. However, mean scores on outcome variables would suggest this climate is more adaptive than not. This work suggests that coaches and peers can convey differing messages about what is valued within their team. The peer task-involving climate may be the more meaningful climate type in shaping the adaptive or maladaptive experiences of adolescent athletes. In sum, this dissertation highlights the contributions that peer relationships make to the sport experiences of youth and highlights the importance of continued investigation of peers as a part of the broader social climate in the physical domain. This area represents a meaningful direction for researchers to pursue and further our understanding of social processes in youth physical activity contexts.
