Abstract

The present research was conducted to examine the relationship between goal orientation, motivation, and competitive anxiety in players of domestic cricket in Pakistan. The sample comprised of 105 male domestic cricketers aged between 18 to 35 years (M = 20.02, SD = 2.75). Correlational research design and purposive sampling strategy was used to draw sample from different cricket clubs and academies in Lahore and the permission to collect data was taken from the authorities of Pakistan Cricket Board. Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire (Duda & Nicholls, 1992), Sport Motivation Scale-II (Pelletier, Rocchi, Vallerand, Deci, & Ryan, 2013), Sport Anxiety Scale-2 (Smith, Smoll, Cumming, & Grossbard, 2006), Beliefs About the Causes of Sport Success Questionnaire (Duda & Nicholls, 1992) and Multidimensional Inventory of Perfectionism in Sport (Stober, Otto, & Stoll, 2006) were administered to the participants. Pearson product moment correlation revealed that ego orientation was positively correlated with external regulation, whereas task orientation was positively correlated with intrinsic regulation. Also, intrinsic regulation was negatively correlated with competitive anxiety. Regression analysis revealed that intrinsic regulation was a negative predictor of competitive anxiety and somatic anxiety after controlling the effects of perfectionism and beliefs about success.

巴基斯坦国内板球运动员的目标取向、动机与竞争焦虑

本研究旨在检验巴基斯坦国内板球运动员的目标定向、动机和竞争焦虑之间的关系。样本包括105名年龄在18至35岁之间的国内男性板球运动员（M=20.02，SD=2.75）。采用相关研究设计和有目的的抽样策略，从拉合尔的不同板球俱乐部和学院抽取样本，并获得巴基斯坦板球委员会当局的数据收集许可。运动问卷中的任务和自我定向（Duda&Nicholls，1992），运动动机量表II（Pelletier，Rocchi，Vallerand，Deci，&Ryan，2013），运动焦虑量表-2（Smith，Smoll，Cumming，&Grossbard，2006），对参与者进行了关于运动成功原因的信念问卷（Duda&Nicholls，1992）和运动完美主义多维量表（Stober，Otto，&Stoll，2006）。皮尔逊乘积矩相关分析表明，自我定向与外部调节呈正相关，而任务定向与内在调节呈正相关。此外，内在调节与竞争焦虑呈负相关。回归分析表明，在控制了完美主义和成功信念的影响后，内在调节是竞争焦虑和躯体焦虑的负向预测因子。

期刊介绍： Pakistan Journal of Psychological Research (PJPR) is published biannually by the National Institute of Psychology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Pakistan. Its first issue was published in Summer, 1986. Since then two issues, one in summer and the other in winter, have been appearing every year. The Journal provides an outlet for fully documented researches addressing educational, social, developmental, and other areas of Psychology. Preference is given to empirical articles, which deal with the application of psychological knowledge in understanding the problems of national and international importance. The Journal welcomes contributions from all corners. However, participation from the developing countries is eagerly sought in view of its under-representation in research journals published in the West. The PJPR maintains an international editorial board of Consulting Editors belonging to different countries, with expertise in a large number of areas. It employs a double-blind reviewing process i.e., the authors are not identified to reviewers and reviewers are not made known to authors. The contents of PJPR are being abstracted by the Proquest, and in PsycInfo. PJPR is included in the List of Social Sciences Journals recognized by Higher Education Commission, Pakistan.
