Goal orientations and perceptions of the sport experience

Article Abstract:

J.G. Nicholl's conceptual framework helped in the examination of the connection between the two implicit goal orientations of task and ego, and achievement behaviors in the areas of beliefs about causes of success, competition and practice plans, practice advantages, and enjoyment. The study, covering 182 male and 114 female high school athletes who competed in a minimum of one sport during the 1989-1990 academic year, used factor analyses to locate the ten pertinent factors. Task oriented athletes concentrated on adaptive achievement strategies, while ego oriented athletes concentrated on potentially maladaptive achievement strategies.

The relationship of perceived motivational climate to intrinsic motivation and beliefs about success in basketball

Article Abstract:

Results of a study on basketball players indicated that dispositional goal orientation had a significant influence on players' perception of their competence and the extent to which they are willing to exert themselves to succeed. Motivational factors were not found to be significantly related to these parameters. However, a stimulating environment was found to increase players' dispositional goal orientation. These findings highlight the mutual exclusivity of perceived motivational climate and dispostional goal orientation.

The perceived motivational climate in sport questionnaire: construct and predictive validity

Article Abstract:

A study of 83 female and 86 male athletes participating in amateur baseball, basketball, softball, and soccer teams, explored the construct and predictive validity of the perceived motivational climate in sport questionnaire (PMCSQ) to measure perceived motivational climate, degree of worry during participation, and team satisfaction. The predictive application of PMCSQ showed that perceptions of a mastery climate were positively connected with being a team member, and negatively linked to performance worry.
