Abstract

The “Wild League” is a recreational sports event, which takes place in Dubrovnik and has an extremely long tradition. The sport that is played in this competition is water polo. A study was conducted in order to identify motivational factors related to this amateur sport. The study had two main goals: to determine basic psychometric properties (construct validity and reliability) of the adjusted Questionnaire on sports events (QSE), as well as to determine the differences in motivational factors, according to several independent variables. A sample of 125 participants were examined in this study, using the QSE. All participants were Croatian citizens, and the study did not include those who are born (and currently live) in Dubrovnik. The results revealed three-component principal components’ structure, with reliable principal components that represent pushing motives, pulling motives and the limitations. Moreover, previous visiting Dubrovnik and the level of education did not appear as important independent variables to differentiate any sport tourists’ motives. Pushing motives are highly emphasized in males, participants who were actively engaged in sports, or those with Dubrovnik’s heritage. This clearly define some profile of tourist who may be attracted to visit the destination, motivated with “Wild League” event.
水球休闲体育赛事“野外联赛”的观赛动机
“野生联赛”是一项休闲体育赛事,在杜布罗夫尼克举行,有着极其悠久的传统。这次比赛的项目是水球。为了确定与这项业余运动有关的动机因素,进行了一项研究。本研究有两个主要目的:确定调整后的体育赛事问卷(QSE)的基本心理测量特性(结构效度和信度),以及根据几个自变量确定动机因素的差异。本研究使用QSE对125名参与者进行了抽样检查。所有参与者都是克罗地亚公民,这项研究不包括那些出生(目前居住)在杜布罗夫尼克的人。结果显示主成分呈三分量结构,可靠主成分分别代表推动动机、拉动动机和限制。此外,以前访问杜布罗夫尼克和教育水平似乎不是区分任何体育游客动机的重要独立变量。在男性、积极参与体育运动的参与者或具有杜布罗夫尼克传统的参与者中,推动动机被高度强调。这清楚地定义了一些可能被吸引到目的地的游客,他们被“野生联盟”活动所吸引。
