Abstract:
Children’s participation in youth sport is ubiquitous in UK society, yet high levels of attrition are evident in adolescence (Department for Culture, Media and Sport, 2012a). This attrition has been credited, in part, to questionable coaching behaviours that derogate children’s experiences in youth sport. Using self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985, 2000; Ryan & Deci, 2000, 2002) as a guiding framework, the purpose of this thesis was to better understand the coach-related antecedents of children’s adherence and attrition in youth sport by examining the motivational processes that contribute to their engagement versus disaffection. In study one, children’s perceptions of autonomy, competence and relatedness, or psychological need satisfaction, were examined alongside in their tendency to exhibit high levels of cognitive and affective engagement. In study two, a mediation model was tested whereby coach autonomy support and control were hypothesised to exhibit positive indirect effects on children’s engagement and disaffection in youth sport respectively via both psychological need satisfaction and psychological need thwarting. In study three, the previous study was replicated and extended with three waves of data. The final study of this thesis examined the interaction of coach autonomy support and structure to extend the findings of the previous studies. Overall, the findings suggest that structure and autonomy support from coaches will help to safeguard children’s adherence to youth sport because they jointly facilitate psychological need satisfaction and engagement. In contrast, control from coaches is likely to lead to children’s attrition in youth sport since such provisions undermine the psychological needs and produce disaffection.

Abstract:
Recent research has found that self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism have distinct consequences for athletes. The purpose of the thesis was to extend this research by further examining their motivational consequences for athletes and identifying the psychological mechanisms that explain their divergent consequences. The first two studies suggested that the positive relationship between socially prescribed perfectionism and athlete burnout was mediated by the tendency to engage in validation-seeking and utilise avoidant coping, whereas the inverse relationship between self-oriented perfectionism and athlete burnout was mediated by the tendency to utilise problem-focused coping and eschew avoidant coping. Because these initial studies provided little evidence to suggest that self-oriented perfectionism has negative psychological consequences for athletes, the nature of self-oriented perfectionism and its consequences were examined more closely in two subsequent studies. A comparative study examining similarities and differences in the correlates of selforiented perfectionism and conscientious achievement striving found that while both include a commitment to high standards, self-oriented perfectionism also includes a concern over mistakes, fear of failure and negative reactions to imperfection. An experimental study examining the response of student-athletes II higher in this dimension of perfectionism to successive failures further suggested that, in comparison to those with lower levels of self-oriented perfectionism, those with higher levels of self-oriented perfectionism experienced a more pronounced increase in threat following an initial failure and reported withdrawing effort from the subsequent performance. The final two studies suggest that the divergent consequences of these two dimensions of perfectionism may also be explained by differences in the controllability of sources of self-worth and evaluative standards. In addition, in some instances, perceptions of the achievement climate may influence the self-criticism experienced by perfectionists. Collectively, this series of studies suggest that socially prescribed perfectionism will invariably lead to motivational and psychological difficulties for athletes. In contrast, such difficulties may not be inevitable for those with higher levels of self-oriented perfectionism; however, it may render athletes vulnerable to psychological difficulties when personal standards are not meet.

Darbo objektas: paauglių motyvacijos sportuoti ir sporto poreikių tenkinimo ryšiai. Tyrimo problema. Sportuoti skatinančių veiksnių problema yra aktuali, nes vis dažniau mokslininkai kelia tokius klausimus: kokia motyvacijos sportinei veiklai struktūra, kaip skatinti vaikų ir paauglių motyvaciją, koks jų poreikis sportuoti. Ugdymo turinys taip pat yra svarbus veiksnys, lemiantis mokinių motyvaciją. Ryšys tarp sportinio ugdymo turinio įvairovės ir vaikų motyvacijos sportuoti dažniau nagrinėjamas formaliojo švietimo požiūriu, o neformaliojo - dažniau nusakomas teoriškai, nei grindžiamas konkrečiais empiriniais tyrimais. Mokytojams ir treneriams taip pat yra labai svarbu įvertinti paauglių demografinius veiksmus, nes jie labai svarbūs, nepriklausomai nuo to, kur paauglys sportuoja. Nežinant motyvacijos ypatumų, sunku būtų kryptingai spręsti paauglių sveikos gyvensenos ir užimtumo laisvalaikiu problemas, rengti juos varžyboms. Tyrimo tikslas - įvertinti paauglių (12-14 metų) motyvacijos sportuoti bei sporto poreikių tenkinimo ryšius Šilutės rajono savivaldybės bendrojo ugdymo ir sporto mokyklose. Tyrimo uždaviniai: 1.

Work object: relations of teenagers’ sports motivation and satisfaction of sport needs. Problem of the study. The problem of the factors enhancing exercising is relevant as more often scientists raise the following questions: what is the structure of sports activity, how to encourage the motivation of children and teenagers, what is their need to exercise. Educational content is also a very important factor, determining the students’ motivation. The relation between the variety of sport educational content and children’s motivation to exercise is often analysed in regard to formal education, and informal education is more often outlined theoretically than based on specific empirical studies. It is also very important for teachers and trainers to assess the teenagers’ demographic actions as they are very important independent of the fact about where the teenager exercises. Not knowing the peculiarities of motivation, it would be difficult to single-mindedly solve the problems of teenagers’ healthy lifestyle and occupation in their free-time, to prepare them for competitions. Objective of the study – to assess the relations of teenagers’ (12-14 years-old) sports motivation and satisfaction of sport needs in comprehensive and sport schools of Šilutė region municipality.

Abstract:
Sports and fitness is a trending theme in the field of gamification, which in turn is a trending theme in cross media. Underlying the concept of gamification is motivation. Sports and fitness seems to be an area where people have a hard time of motivating themselves in. Even though sports and fitness is popular, most research has been made in other settings. The research that has been made so far on motivation in gamification stands on two different sides on how gamification should be used to motivate users. One advocates the work on the user’s external motivation while the other focuses on internal motivation. By asking users of sports and fitness gamification services I seek to find out what motivates them. This thesis shows that by working on the user’s external motivation, the internal motivation can increase over time. Based on the findings I suggest a new implication for design in gamification which better suits the area of sports and fitness and will hopefully help gamification designers and researchers alike.

Abstract:
U.S. advertisers spent over $2 billion on sporting events in 2014 directing advertisements towards consumers through digital devices used such as televisions, computers, smartphones, and tablets. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to identify motivation factors that predict the intention to view sports content on digital devices. Knowing such factors is important for advertisers to prioritize distribution channels. Uses and gratification theory formed the theoretical framework for the study. The methodology adapted a survey that encapsulated 9 motives. The research questions examined what motives influenced sports viewership, what motives predicted the intention to view specific sports content, and the differences in viewing intention across sports content types. Data were collected through a survey administered to a qualified random sample of U.S. respondents with 525 responses received. Data were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis to group the questions into motivation factors, multiple linear regression to determine the significance of these factors in predicting viewership intent, and nonparametric Friedman testing to determine what demographics influenced viewership. Findings included: (a) 8 factors explained 76% of the variance; (b) 8 motives were significant in predicting viewership intention, with Escape (β = .714) ranking the highest; and (c) younger viewers had a greater intent to consume content on digital devices other than television, with smartphones (M = .73) ranking the highest. Social change benefits include: (a) sports content providers and advertisers could target the right content and advertisement to maximize viewership retention and revenue, and (b) users could view their desired sports content on their chosen device.

Abstract:

This study purposely examined the types of extrinsic rewards in male youth soccer programs and measures those that are most preferred by players to influence their participation motivation. It also checked if young soccer players skew towards programs that provide more reward opportunities. For this reason, 1000 teenage soccer players were randomized in an online survey administered by a community-based organization. 800 chose programs that provided extrinsic rewards and identified fame, trophies, travel, scholarship, exposure opportunities and money as the six main rewards that influenced their decision to join soccer programs.

A Participation Motivation Questionnaire (PMQ) was then modified using the identified factors and issued to 400 participants between ages 14-18 years, randomly selected from 20 Las Vegas soccer clubs in another survey to rank extrinsic rewards according to importance. Data was collected and entered into the SPSS 17.0 software for analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to calculate frequencies, percentages, mean, and standard deviation. Cronbach alpha was applied to measure internal consistencies based on the demographics and attitudes towards participation motivation. One way ANOVA sought to determine the extent to which the identified extrinsic rewards affected participation motivation, and regression analysis examined the relationships across all factors.

Results from data analysis revealed that, exposure opportunities constituted the most important extrinsic reward that influenced young male soccer players' decision to join soccer programs. Scholarship, travel, fame, money and trophies followed suit. One-way ANOVA showed that race had a significant effect on scholarship, exposure opportunities, and fame. Multivariate regressions revealed that young players that are more motivated by scholarship, fame and travel tended to have higher ability levels. These effects were held even after adjusting for grade and age.

Results from the online survey also concluded that more young players tend to be attracted to soccer programs that provide extrinsic reward opportunities. Thus, extrinsic rewards should be considered and included in programs to enhance motivation.

Abstract:
The word talent is becoming more important nowadays in a world where every-thing is getting globalizing. Along this thesis, the authors take a close look to the definition of talent and the role of the talent management theory. It is also mentioned other topics such as knowledge management and human resources management, and how both are connected to talent management through tal-ent itself. This process is mainly structured in three key elements: To find, develop and retain a talent. During the whole process, the concept of leader-ship and leader will be present. The authors use the world of sports as illus-tration to make the talent management and leadership topics more visible to the reader. Several experts were interviewed from different fields and with their knowledge and experiences, Íñigo and Andreas come to the final conclusion where it can be appreciated how business can learn and beneficiate from sports and vice versa.

Syfte & frågeställning

Syftet med undersökningen var att undersöka hur tränares ledarskap och relation till spelare, påverkar spelares motivation. Det föreslogs att ledarskapet och relationen som en del av det, är två faktorer som påverkar hur en idrottare presterar, genom att bland annat påverka idrottarens motivation. Fyra frågeställningar skulle besvaras. (1) Om tränare upplevs som de önskar och tror att de upplevs. (2) Hur beskriver tränare och spelare sin tränare-spelare relation. (3) I vilken utsträckning påverkar relationen i ledarskapet spelares motivation. (4) Finns det ett samband mellan ledarskapsstilar och spelares motivation.

Metod

Undersökningen inkluderade två ishockeylag på A-juniorelitnivå i Sverige (J20). Totalt var det två huvudtränare och 40 spelare (n=23, n=17) som deltog. Undersökningen genomfördes med formulär ställda till tränarna och spelarna, uppbyggda av tre olika idrottspsykologiska instrument. Dessa var Leadership Scale for Sports1, Coach-Athlete Relationship Test-Questionnaire2, och Sports Motivation Scale3. Undersökningen ägde rum i slutet av pågående säsong och inkluderade endast respektive lags huvudtränare och spelare. Kravet som ställdes på spelarna för att kunna delta i undersökningen, var att de varit aktiva under tränaren i minst sex månader. Detta för att försäkra att tränaren och spelarna hade arbetat en längre tid tillsammans.

Resultat

Resultaten visade på att spelarna föredrog en tränare med medelauktoritära inslag, som ofta gav positiv feedback och instruktioner angående spelets detaljer. Spelarna och tränarna uppfattade inte relationen dem emellan som fulländad. Spelarna var i genomsnitt mer pessimistiskt inställda till tränare-spelare relationen än vad tränarna var. Nivåerna av inre motivation visade sig högre än nivåerna för yttre motivation och amotivation.

Diskussion

Ledarskapet tenderade att påverka spelares motivation. Däremot så hittades inga resultat som tydligt pekade på att tränare-spelare relationen haft någon påverkan på spelares motivation. Spelarna i studien uppvisade högre nivåer för amotivation, än vad tidigare studier på svenska individuella elitidrottare visat. Det föreslås att en bidragande faktor som kan ha påverkat amotivationen, är tränarens auktoritära inslag i ledarskapet och avsaknaden av självbestämmande (autonomi) hos de aktiva. Auktoritära och kontrollerande beteenden tenderar att minska den inre motivationen och öka yttre motivation och amotivation, medan beteenden som främjar självbestämmande tenderar att öka den inre motivationen hos idrottare. Hur man initierar till att höja nivåerna av inre motivation hos idrottare, bör ingå i tränarutbildningsprogram och liknande.


Aim & Research Objectives

The main objective of this survey was to investigate how coaches leadership and relation to athletes, influence the athletes motivation. It was suggested that the leadership and the coach-athlete relationship (as part of the leadership), are two factors that influence athletes’ performance. Four questions were to be answered. (1) How are coaches leadership perceived by the players in comparison to their own view of their leadership? (2) How is the coach-athlete relationship described by leaders and team members? (3) Is the coach-athlete relationship influencing athletes’ motivation? (4) Is there a relation between leadership styles and athletes motivation?

Methodology

The survey included two ice-hockey teams on A-junior elite level in Sweden (J20). The participants were two head coaches and forty players (n=23, n=17 respectively). The survey was carried out with questionnaires, aimed at both coaches and players. The questionnaires were Leadership Scale of Sports4, Coach Athlete Relationship Test – Questionnaire , and Sport Motivation Scale6. The survey was completed in the end of the season, and did only include the head coach and his players. Subjects in the investigation were required to have played at least six month under their head coach to ensure that coach and players had worked for some time together.

Results

The results showed that players preferred a coach to be fairly authoritarian in his leadership, and to often give positive feedback and instructions about game details to the players. The players did not perceive their coach-athlete relationship as perfect. The players’ average result for the coach-athlete relationship showed that they were more pessimistic to the relationship, than were their coach. The level of intrinsic motivation appeared to be higher than the level of external motivation and amotivation, among the players.

Discussion

The leadership tends to influence players’ motivation. No results indicated that the coach-athlete relationship had had similar effect on the players’ motivation. The subjects showed higher level of amotivation than previous studies on motivation among Swedish individual elite-athletes have shown. It is therefore proposed that a contributing cause that might have had an affect on the players’ amotivation is the authoritarian elements of the coach leadership and low self-determination among the players. Authoritarian and controlling behaviours tend to diminish the intrinsic motivation and increase the external motivation and amotivation, whereas behaviours that facilitate for players to use self-determination tend to increase the intrinsic motivation. How you initiate to increase the players intrinsic motivation should be a part of coaches’ education programs and similar.

The purpose is also to disclosewhich factors that influenced their decision to end their career in sports. In order to investigatethe purpose, twelve qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted. The participants inthe study were twelve former sub-elite athletes who were active in their sports between theages of 15-20. The result of this study revealed that sub-elite athletes experienced bothinner motivation and external motivation through their career. The result showed that theparticipants experianced inner motivation through the satisfaction of the three psychologicalbasic needs in SDT. The result showed that the participants experienced moore externalmotivationat their career end, this because the participants didn’t satisfy the three basicpsychological needs as before. The result also showed that there are various factors thatinfluenced the participants’ decision on a career end, for example; increased demands fromcoaches.

Abstract:
The current study examined the communication ecology of athlete motivation. Furthermore, gender differences in communication ecologies were evaluated, as were variations in communication tendencies for highly and lowly motivated athletes. Findings suggest that teammates and parents are strong motivators for athletes. Mass media were associated with athlete motivation while social media were not. Gender differences were found with males reporting being more motivated by mass media than females, while females were more strongly motivated by their parents and friends. There were significant differences found in the communication ecologies of highly motivated athletes compared to less motivated athletes. Athletes who were highly motivated communicated more often with interpersonal sources than did less motivated athletes. Implications of the findings and directions for future research are discussed.

Abstract:
One hundred and four subjects aged 16-18 years volunteered to participate in this study which sought to identify via an holistic model those factors that characterise the lifestyle orientations of high and low achievers (male and female) in traditional school sport. Subjects were evaluated with respect to their anthropometric, physiological, psychological and perceptual responses. The data were statistically analyzed by one way ANOVAS for significant differences in the following pairs; males and females, high and low achievers, Mhi (male high achievers) and Mlo (male low achievers), and Fhi (female high achievers) and Flo (female low achievers). Anthropometric results indicate that Fhi and Flo were significantly different in their stature, mass and body fat, while Mhi and Mlo show no significant differences. A greater disparity existed between VO, max of Fhi and Flo compared with Mhi and Mlo, along with trends in heart rate and RPE responses that were also more divergent. Psychological responses indicate that Fhi and Flo were significantly different in five of the seven sub-domains of CATPA, while Mhi and Mlo were only identifiable in one. In the PSPP Fhi and Flo were significantly different in all five subscales, while Mhi and Mlo in only two. This contrast in variability between the paired group analysis of Fhi and Flo as compared to Mhi and Mlo appears throughout the data.

Abstract:
Background: Participation in physical activity is a cost effective way to reduce the risks of over 25 chronic diseases. Despite the many dangers of physical inactivity, more than a quarter of the South African population remains inactive. One initiative aimed at increasing engagement in physical activity is parkrun, a free weekly 5 km running/walking based activity. There has been an increase in the number of parkrun participants in South Africa since its inception. An understanding of the motivation for participation and health related behaviour change is important for organisers and public health professionals to increase participation in this weekly mass participation event. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the motivations for participation in parkrun and physical activity related behaviour changes among parkrun participants registered in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. Specific objectives The specific objectives of this study were: to identify demographic characteristics of parkrun participants in the Western Cape Province of South Africa; to describe the motivations for participating in parkrun runs in the Western Cape Province of South Africa; and to investigate physical activity related behaviour changes as a result of participating in parkruns in South Africa's Western Cape Province based on pre and post participation physical activity levels Methods: A cross sectional study was performed on 1787 parkrun participants registered at 40 parkrun sites in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. Participants from 37 of these sites were invited to participate via the parkrun South Africa mailing list in an online survey. Participants from the remaining three parkrun sites responded on paper-based questionnaires at the parkrun sites. The questionnaire included sections on demographic characteristics including employment status, gym membership and educational level; physical activity programmes before joining parkrun and changes in physical activity after joining parkrun. Results: The median age of participants was 50 (IQR:38-59). Female participants formed 53.3% of the sample. Approximately 80% of participants were educated to diploma or degree level (Technikons/College/University); and participants reported high employment rates (71%). Fifty-one percent of the sample were gym members. A total of 64.8% reported having very good to excellent health. A total of 86.1% reported health/fitness as the biggest motivation for participation in parkrun. Another 71.8% of the sample were motivated by enjoyment. Safe environment (58.7%), earning Discovery Health Vitality Points (46.4%), stress relief (40.8%), cost (40.4%) and socialisation (39.4%) were other common motivations among the sample. After joining parkrun, 24% of participants took up new physical activity programmes, with a further 24% of participant increasing their weekly volume of physical activity. More female participants (50.9%) than male participants (44.7%) increased their physical activity levels or took up new physical activity programmes (χ² =7.331, p=0.007). Running was the widely adopted physical activity attracting 18.2% of the sample as new runners. Conclusion: In conclusion, we found that parkrun in the Western Cape is mostly taken up by participants in their sixth decade of life with half of them being overweight. Most participants are physically active before joining parkrun with more than half exceeding recommended global physical activity levels. These results were described in previous studies in Australia and the UK. We also found health/fitness to be the biggest motivation for parkrun participation followed by enjoyment and the safe environment provided at parkrun sites. Running and walking are the common activities that are taken up by participants after joining parkrun. Further prospective studies are recommended to determine cause and effect models and describe health related physical activity behaviour changes in detail.

Abstract:
Ungdomarna är idrottsföreningarnas framtid och idrottsföreningarna skapar positiv utveckling för ungdomarna. Det ungdomarna gör på fritiden och i vilket socialt sammanhang som de vistas i har betydelse för deras utveckling. Trots dessa positiva effekter som idrottsföreningarna har så väljer många ungdomar att sluta med föreningsidrotten. Detta beror på olika aspekter såsom ekonomi, kompisar, föräldrapåverkan och nya fritidsintressen. Därför är det viktigt hur idrottsföreningar jobbar med att behålla ungdomar och det är också syftet till denna studie. Genom intervjuer med sex stycken föreningsaktiva personer har tre strategier tagits fram och blivit resultatet av denna studie. Det tre strategier som föreningar i Trollhättans Stad använder sig mest av och anser är mest lyckosamma är: Breddidrott-Elitinriktning, Engagemang och Mål och mening
Young people are the future of sports clubs and sports associations create positive development for young people. What the young people do in their free time and in what social context in which they are staying in is important for their development. Despite these positive effects that sport clubs have so many young people choose to end exert sports. This is due to different aspects such as finance, friends, parental influence and new hobbies. Therefore, it is important how sports clubs are working to keep young people and it is also the aim of this study. Through interviews with six club members have three strategies been developed and have resulted from this study. The three strategies that the unions in Trollhättan City uses the most and feel are most successful are: The widht in sport-Elite direction, Commitment and Goal and sense

Abstract:
As efforts to promote greater participation in physical activity among adults have focussed on targeting childhood patterns of physical activity, it is important to evaluate the assumed relationship between childhood and adulthood patterns of physical activity. In the studies in this thesis an examination was made of whether adult motivation to engage in physical activity is influenced by the perceived quality of experiences with sports participation in childhood and adolescence. In a pilot study, a measure of perceived quality of childhood and adolescent sports participation experiences was developed. Young adults were asked by questionnaire to rate their childhood and adolescent sports participation experiences on a variety of items. From these responses, measures of the quality of childhood and adolescent sports participation experiences were validated with confirmatory factor analyses. In the main study, the measure of adolescent sports participation experiences was incorporated into a second questionnaire along with other measures of adult motivation towards, and participation in, physical activity. The theoretical framework of Personal Investment Theory (PIT, Maehr & Braskamp, 1986) guided the design of this study. PIT proposes that individuals are motivated to participate in physical activity based on what they hope to gain from participation, their beliefs about themselves and their perceptions of opportunities for participation. This motivation is, in turn, influenced by a number of other personal and situational factors, such as prior personal experiences with sports participation. The results of correlation and structural equation modelling analyses suggested that the direct influence of the perceived quality of adolescent sports participation experiences on the level of adult involvement in physical activity is relatively weak. Structural equation modelling analyses indicated that this relationship is mediated by some of these other motivational variables in PIT. These were individuals. perceptions of their physical competence and personal control over their physical activity behaviour, as well as the tendency to set physical activity goals and to seek intrinsic motives for physical activity, such as skill improvement or enjoyment. Although the quality of sports participation experiences also influenced perceptions about the impact of potential barriers on activity in adulthood, such perceptions did not relate to the actual level of activity of these adults. The perceived quality of adolescent sports participation experiences also influenced the type of physical activity engaged in as an adult, with more negative memories of sports participation being associated with taking part in non-sport-related physical activities in adulthood. In conclusion, application of PIT, along with the use of structural equation modelling, provided valuable insight into how the quality of adolescent sports participation experiences influences adult physical activity behaviour.

Abstract:
The motivational climate, as created by coaches, and athletes’ goal orientations are key constructs in understanding children’s experiences with sport. In this study, the relationship between the perceived motivational climates, male adolescents’ goal orientation, and their experiences of self-esteem, sport competence, enjoyment, and ultimately, intention to continue participating in sport was examined. Participants were 405 male adolescents (Sample A: n = 200; Sample B: n = 205) aged 13-15 years old. Structural equation modeling indicated an overall good fit to the structural model for both data sets. A task goal orientation was predicted by higher levels of coach-created task climate. Participants with higher task goal orientation had greater sport competence, self-esteem, and more enjoyment in sport; enjoyment was the only significant predictor of their intention to continue playing the sport they believe is most important over the next three years.

Som en del av detta ville jag också skildra ledarskapets betydelse för motivation. En kvalitativ intervju användes som metod.   Resultatet visar att relationens betydelse är viktig i motivationsarbetet.  Dessutom framkommer kommunikativa mellanmänskliga aspekter emellan idrottslärare och elever som sker utanför ämnet Idrott och Hälsa som betydelsefulla.

Abstract:

Ohälsan ökar i västvärlden som en följd av bland annat försämrade kostvanor och alltför lite fysisk aktivitet. För att öka aktivitetsgraden hos den vuxna befolkningen i Sverige erbjuds många via arbets¬givaren möjlighet till friskvård på betald arbetstid. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka olika aspekter av motivation och inställ¬ning till motion hos individer som nyttjar respektive inte utnyttjar friskvårdsförmånen. Data samlades in genom semistruktu¬rerade intervjuer med tio personer vilka sedan analyserades enligt teoristyrd tematisk analys. Deltagarna besvarade även ett standardiserat mät¬instrument (Sport Motivation Scale). Undersökningen utgick från Self-Determination Theory som bygger på tanken att beteenden som styrs av inre motivation har större chans att upprätthållas än de som styrs av yttre motivation. Resultatet visade att de som nyttjar frisk¬vårdstimmen i större utsträckning drivs av inre motivation än de som inte nyttjar denna. För att fler anställda skall utnyttja frisk¬vårdsförmånen bör arbetsgivaren satsa på personlig rådgivning samt skapa en organisa¬tions¬kultur där motion är ett naturligt inslag och där den inre motiva¬tionen uppmuntras.

Abstract:
Notre recherche consiste à identifier les déterminants psychobiologiques et émotionnels des activités physiques à risque : rallye, lifestyle sport, équitation et cirque (N= 507). Nous avons comparé le tempérament et le caractère de jeunes cavaliers et golfeurs en Tunisie et en France. Ensuite, nous avons comparé la dominance télique en fonction de différents sports. Nous avons aussi testé les variations des états émotionnels, la dimension névrosisme et les variables fuite et alexithymie en lien avec l’imprudence et la prise de risque. Enfin, nous avons identifié le profil de personnalité, et plus précisément la dominance télique et la recherche de sensations ainsi que le stress perçu, de circassiens. Nous avons suivi l’évolution du taux du cortisol pendant l’entrainement et le spectacle. Les résultats montrent que les cavaliers et les golfeurs ont un score élevé sur les dimensions persistance et évitement du danger. Les sports mécaniques seraient plus risqués que les lifestyle sports. Le rallye permettrait à ses adeptes de diminuer leurs affects négatifs. Le névrosisme et l’alexithymie contribuent à l’adoption de comportements imprudents et de prise de risque. Les circassiens étudiés sont tous paratéliques, chercheurs de sensations, et perçoivent peu le stress ; leur niveau de cortisol est plus élevé le jour du spectacle que lors de l’entrainement. Ainsi, nous avons pu identifier les différences individuelles qui favoriseraient l’engagement dans certaines activités physiques à risque, tout en relevant le rôle des variables motivationnelles, émotionnelles, biologiques, ainsi que les facteurs de personnalité dans la compréhension d’un tel engagement
Risk-taking behaviors constitute a growing domain, yet not well known. Our research’s goal aimed at identifying the psychobiological and emotional determinants of risky physical activities: rally, lifestyle sports, horse riding, golf players and circus artists (N = 507). We compared the temperament and character of young horse riders and young golfers, both in Tunisia and in France. We then compared the telic dominance of participants in different kinds of sports. We also tested changes in emotional states, neuroticism, escape and alexithymia related to risk-taking. Finally, we identified the personality profiles, specifically the telic dominance and sensation seeking and the perceived stress among circus artists. We have followed the evolution of their cortisol level while training and during a show. The results show that the horse riders and golfers have a high score on persistence and harm avoidance. Motor sports imply more risk-taking than lifestyle sports. The rally context allows its followers to decrease their level of negative affect, neuroticism and alexithymia, which contributes to the adoption of reckless behaviors. Circus artists are paratelic, sensation seekers, and perceive a low level of stress; their cortisol level is higher during the show than on a training day. Overall, we could identify the individual differences that would promote involvement in physical activities at risk, while noting the role of motivational, emotional, biological variables and personality factors in the understanding of such a commitment

Abstract:

I detta examensarbete har vi undersökt vad som motiverar individer till att studera friluftslivskurser vid Högskolan i Kalmar, vi ville också ta reda på om det fanns några skillnader till motivationen om vi ser på kön eller åldersskillnader. Studien är tänkt som en del av ett forskningsarbete som kommer att bedrivas på Högskolan i Kalmar (Blivande Linneuniversitetet) vi har i denna studie valt att uppmärksamma vilken form av motivation som driver studenterna under utbildningen.

I bakgrunden berörs tidigare forskning gällande olika motivationsteorier med anknytning till lärande. Vidare lyfter vi också fram forskning om vuxenutbildning och vad som motiverar till aktiviteter inom friluftsliv. 

Undersökningen bedrevs kvantitativt och data samlades in i form av en enkätundersökning. I vår kvantitativa undersökning bearbetade vi 70 enkäter som var fullständigt ifyllda. I undersökningen deltog 38 kvinnor och 32män mellan 19 år och 51 år. 

Resultatet redovisas i form av diagram som antingen berör inre motivation eller amotivation. I resultatet kan man bland annat utläsa att respondenterna drivas av en inre motivation då de väljer att utbilda sig inom friluftsliv. Vidare pekar också resultatet på att respondenterna i större grad motiveras av att undervisningen är kul och intressant än att den är viktig för dem.              

I diskussionen jämförs undersökningens resultatet med tidigare forskning från bakgrunden, vidare forskningsförslag presenteras också.

Full text
Abstract:
L'activité physique et sportive est marquée par des inégalités de performance entre les sexes. L'objectif de ce travail doctoral est de comprendre, dans une perspective socio-psychologique, l'impact des stéréotypes sexués sur la performance, en explorant deux voies d'influence : celle exercée par l'intermédiaire de l'enseignant d'EPS, et celle exercée par l'internalisation des stéréotypes dans le soi ainsi que par leur simple évocation en contexte évaluatif. Cette thèse montre que les attentes de l'enseignant d'EPS, bien qu'elles aient été biaisées en faveur des garçons, n'ont pas mené à des inégalités de performance entre filles et garçons, par l'intermédiaire de prophéties auto-réalisatrices ou de biais perceptif (e. G. , Jussim, Eccles & Madon, 1996). Cependant, le stéréotype relatif à la supériorité des garçons en sport peut influencer la performance des filles qui y adhèrent, cette relation s'expliquant par une faible perception de compétence. D'autre part, ce stéréotype peut également affecter la performance des filles quand il est évoqué lors de la réalisation d'une tâche motrice (Steele, 1997). A cette influence négative des stéréotypes s'ajoute une influence positive que ceux-ci exercent sur les individus non concernés par le stéréotype, en améliorant leur confiance en soi et leur engagement dans la tâche. En conclusion, ce travail doctoral corrobore l'idée selon laquelle les inégalités de réussite entre les sexes ne sont pas seulement dues à des différences de capacités naturelles entre les sexes, mais peuvent s'expliquer par les croyances culturelles relatives aux différences sexuées dans les activités physiques et sportives
Sex differences in performance exist in the athletic domain. The goal of this thesis is to understand, in a social psychological perspective, the role of sex stereotypes in the athletic performance, by examining two ways of influence: the one exerted through PE teachers, and the one exerted through the internalisation of stereotypes in the self and through their activation in evaluative contexts. This thesis shows that although teacher expectations were biased in favour of boys, they did not lead to sex inequalities in performance through self-fulfilling prophecies or perceptual biases (e. G. , Jussim, Eccles, & Madon, 1996). However, the stereotype relative to male superiority in sports may affect the performance of girls who endorse it, this relation being explained by a low perception of competence. Moreover, this stereotype may also affect girls' performance when it is activated during the realisation of a motor task (Steele, 1997). In addition, negative stereotypes may positively influence people who are not concerned by the stereotype, by enhancing their self-confidence and task engagement. To conclude, this doctoral work corroborates the idea that sex inequalities in performance are not only due to sex differences in natural ability, but may be explained by cultural beliefs relative to sex differences in sporting and physical activities

Syftet med studien är att belysa hur unga fotbollsspelande tjejer upplever sin idrott.  - Vad vill unga fotbollstjejer att träningarna och verksamheten ska innehålla och hur ska den organiseras för att de ska upprätthålla sitt intresse och stanna kvar? - Vad är viktigt i ledarens agerande för att tjejerna ska trivas? Studien bygger på en kvalitativ metod och genomfördes med 17 tjejer i ett 14-års lag i fyra fokusgruppintervjuer. Resultatet visar att alla tjejer tycker att det roligaste med idrotten är att spela matcher och åka på cuper. De tycker att det är viktigt att vinna, men har de spelat bra och fått visa upp vad de lärt sig så kan de ta en förlust. Kompisarna är en viktig faktor och att ha roligt tillsammans är det som gör att de vill fortsätta att spela fotboll. De tycker att träningarna ska innehålla blandade övningar och att de även där får spela matcher i många olika varianter. Ledaren är en viktig person och hon/han ska peppa och pusha dem samt hjälpa dem så att de gör rätt. De tycker att  alla ska få vara med och spela, bli sedda och behandlas lika. Engströms prestations-, tränings- och upplevelselogiker blir här väldigt tydliga.

Abstract:

Syftet med vår studie är att undersöka vilka uppfattningar elever med hög frånvaro i ämnet idrott och hälsa har om detsamma. Vi som blivande lärare i idrott och hälsa vill få en ökad kunskap om hur vi som lärare ska kunna motivera de elever som har hög frånvaro i idrott och hälsa på gymnasieskolan. Vår undersökning bygger på intervjuer med elever från två gymnasieskolor. Skolorna är av olika storlek men båda ligger i södra Sverige. Vi har använt oss av kvalitativa intervjuer och har intervjuat åtta elever, fyra flickor och fyra pojkar. Anledningen till att vi intervjuat lika många av varje kön är för att vi ville undersöka om det fanns några skillnader mellan könen. Samtliga elever vi intervjuade går andra året på gymnasieskolan och läser den obligatoriska kursen idrott och hälsa A. Resultatet visar att samtliga elever i undersökningen har en bristande motivation till idrott och hälsa. Anledningarna till den bristande motivationen skiljer sig dock åt, liksom faktorerna som skulle kunna påverka elevernas motivation positivt. Intressant med resultatet är att hälften av de intervjuade eleverna egentligen tycker att det är roligt med idrott och hälsa, men på grund av situationen runt lektionerna väljer de ändå att avstå. I det avslutande diskussionskapitlet lägger vi stor vikt vid vad vi som lärare kan göra för att få så många elever som möjligt att känna sig motiverade till idrott och hälsa.

Full text
Abstract:

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur svenska elitjuniorer i höjdhopp arbetar med

målsättningar utifrån dagens forskning. De flesta sätter upp målsättningar men få

förstår hur de på bästa sätt kan använda sig av dessa. Målsättningar kan hjälpa

individen till en högre motivation som i sin tur främjar en högre intensitet under en

längre tidsperiod i den relativt tuffa träningen som en elitidrottare åtar sig. Dock finns

också risken att målsättningar verkar hämmande på prestationen om de används

felaktigt. Vilket betyder att det antagligen krävs en god kunskap och erfarenhet för att

lyckas. 10 höjdhoppare intervjuades som under 2009 tävlade i juniorklasser och

utgjorde landets främsta. Resultaten visar att det fanns väl utarbetade tankar hos de

flesta kring deras målsättningar vilka också var en grundläggande anledning till varför

de idrottade. Dock fanns indikationer på att dessa målsättningar inte utnyttjades

optimalt för den aktives prestationer. En del i detta var en bristande kommunikation

mellan tränare och aktiv under målsättningsprocessen. En diskussion fördes utifrån

detta hur målsättningar kan användas optimalt för höjdhoppare. Dessutom påträffades

en åsikt att specifika höjdmål är negativa vilket ledde till en diskussion kring

målfokus vid olika tillfällen.


The purpose of this study was to examine how the Swedish elite juniors in the high

jump use goals based on current research. Most are setting up goals, but few

understand how they can best use them. Goal setting can help the individual to a

higher level of motivation, which in turn promotes a higher intensity for a longer

period of time in the relatively tough training as an elite athlete commits. However,

there is also the risk that the objectives hamper performance if used incorrectly.

Which means it probably requires a good knowledge and experience to succeed. 10

athletes were interviewed that in 2009 competed in the junior classes and formed the

country's primary. The results show that there were well-developed thoughts of most

on their goals that also was the fundamental reason to why they competed. However,

there were indications that these goals were not used optimally for the active

achievements. Some of this was a lack of communication between the coach and

active in the goal setting process. A discussion took place on this basis of how goals

can be optimized for a high jumper. In addition an opinion that goals of specific

heights is negative was found which led to a discussion of goal focus at different

times.

Abstract:
The occurrence of attributions during goal attainment scenarios is important to understand in order to determine how and when individuals tend to process events and make behavioral modifications. In order to study this, a sample of two basketball teams (one male team and one female team) was studied through the course of a season using a standard stimulus, a generalized survey, and game film. According to results of this study, the basketball players in the sample tend to interpret emotions similarly, but process and assign attributions differently based on gender. This process seems to be determined based on field dependence or independence through a difference in relying on the entirety of the proximal context or the abstraction of the event into relevant parts. These findings suggest important interventions for the well-being of players as well as how decision making strategies may be affected by attribution process during play.

Abstract:
L'objet de cette thèse était d'examiner les relations entre d'une part les motivations de l'élève en EPS et d'autre part celles pour les activités physiques et sportives. Le modèle hiérarchique de la motivation intrinsèque et extrinsèque (MHMIE, Vallerand, 1997) postule que la motivation d'un individu dans une tâche spécifique dépend de facteurs psychologiques internes telles que ses motivations dans un ou plusieurs contextes de vie en lien avec la situation vécue. Une première étude (N = 371) s'est attachée à vérifier cette source d'influence dans le contexte de l'Education Physique et Sportive (EPS). Les résultats obtenus par des méthodes d'équations structurelles démontrent que les motivations de l'élève vis-à-vis des activités sportives pratiquées en dehors de l'école n'influencent pas directement ses motivations durant la leçon d'EPS. Cette relation s'avère médiée par la motivation contextuelle en EPS. Une seconde étude (n = 171) a testé les effets descendants et ascendants entre les deux niveaux hiérarchiques de généralité. Conformément au MHMIE, les résultats obtenus confirment la relation de réciprocité dans le temps entre les motivations situationnelle et contextuelle en EPS. Enfin, notre démarche nous a conduit à démontrer l'existence d'un conflit motivationnel ressenti par l'élève au sein même de la séance d'EPS (N = 203). Notre travail nous permet finalement de conclure que la perception par l'élève de la nature de la séance détermine le lien unissant sa motivation situationnelle à l'une ou l'autre de ses motivations contextuelles (i.e. dans les sports ou en EPS).

The purpose of this research was to investigate: 1) sport motivation, sensation-seeking, and social physique anxiety of skating sports participants, 2) differences on sport motivation, sensation-seeking, and social physique anxiety based on the participants’ background variables, and 3) the relationship among sport motivation, sensation-seeking and social physique anxiety. The sampling method was purposive sampling, with 563 valid questionnaires. The development of the three questionnaires were based on ‘Exercise Motivation Inventory’ by Markland and Hardy (1997), ‘Sensation Seeking Scale’ by Zuckerman (1977), and ‘Social Physique Anxiety Scale’ by Hart, Leary and Rejeski (1989). The inventories were translated and properly modified to suit the purpose of this research. The questionnaires demonstrated good internal consistency and factorial validity through two stages of the tests. The main study results were as follows. 1. The average score of sport motivation was 3.71. The main motivation factors were physical fitness, feeling of happiness, social affiliation, and competition and perceived capability. The average score of sensation seeking was 3.39. The main factor for sport participants was experience seeking of novelty and change. The average score of social physique anxiety is 3.07. There showed that skating sport participants had moderate levels of sport motivation, sensation seeking, and social physique anxiety. 2. There were significant differences on sport motivation under some background variables, including gender, age, competitive or leisure skaters, self-rated skating skills, competition experience, years in skating training, frequency of skating training, monetary investment in skating, skating types, and perceived danger in skating sport. 3. There were significant differences on sensation seeking under some background variables, including gender, age, self-rated skating skills, frequency of skating training, skating types, and perceived danger in skating sport. 4. There were significant differences on social physique anxiety under some background variables, including gender, age, competitive or leisure skaters, self-rated skating skills, competition experience, years in skating training, frequency of skating training, monetary investment in skating, and skating types. 5. Sport motivation and sensation seeking were positively related, with r=.318. The motivation factor of Feeling of happiness was strongly related to the sensation seeking factor of thrill and adventure seeking, with r=.288. Sport motivation was not significantly related to social physique anxiety. Feeling of happiness, Physical Fitness, and social physique anxiety had low negative relation, with r=.089-.088. Social pressure, amotivation and social physique anxiety had low positive relation, with r=.112-.113. Sensation-seeking and social physique anxiety were not significantly related. The factor of experience seeking of novelty and change and social physique anxiety had low positive relation, with r=.105.

The purpose of the study was to explore the current status of sports climate and students’ sports participation motivation in junior high schools, and further offer references for schools to promote the sports climate in order to enhancing students’ sports motivation. The subjects of this study were public junior high school students og junior high school students of Taichung City. By using stratified random sampling, the questionnaires of this survey were issued in 470 copies. There were 394 valid copies and the effective response rate was 85.9%. The returned questionnaires were analyzed through item analysis, factor analysis, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation and canonical correlation analysis by using SPSS 22.0 statistical software to do data analysis on samples. The research results showed that: A. In the demographics of junior high school students, the results showed that the majority of subjects in this survey were as followed: who were female, who were in first grade, who lived in the city, who didn’t join sports clubs, who took extra classes after school, who exercised almost three times a week. B. In the dimension of sports atmosphere in schools, the score highly ranked in “sports facilities”, but poorly ranked in “aesthetic design”. The sports participation motivation received the most attention in “health need”. C. In the variables of “join sports clubs” and “the frequency of exercise every week”, there was a significant effect on both sports atmosphere and sports participation motivation. D. If there were significant positive correlation existing in sports atmosphere and sports participation motivation, it meant the sports atmosphere was high in schools, which could lead to higher sports participation motivation.
