Abstract

Abstract Objective: The main objective of the present study was to examine the associations between coach-created task-involving climate and athletes’ intentions to continue practicing sport, through a serial mediation analysis that included basic psychological needs satisfaction (BPN), self-determined motivation (SDM) and enjoyment. Methods: Seven-hundred and ninety-nine elite swimmers (450 males, 349 females; aged 12–22 years, M = 16.65, SD = 2.83) participated in the present study. Groups were created according to age, years of experience, and gender. Results: Serial mediation analysis provided support for the proposed model where BPN's and enjoyment represent the most important mediators between task-involving climate and athletes’ intentions to continue sport practice. Conclusion: Enjoyment stands out as the most relevant predictor of intention to persist and as a significant mediator in the relation between task-involvement climate, BPN, SDM, and long-term sports practice. The task-involving climate created by coaches appears to set in motion a sequence where the satisfaction of basic needs and SDM lead to more enjoyment and increased persistence among young athletes.

坚持游泳者的动机模式:一项系列中介分析

摘要目的:本研究的主要目的是通过对基本心理需求满足(BPN)、自我决定动机(SDM)和享受的系列中介分析，探讨教练员创造的任务参与气候与运动员继续运动意愿之间的关系。方法:799名优秀游泳运动员(男性450人，女性349人;年龄12-22岁，M = 16.65, SD = 2.83)参与本研究。分组是根据年龄、经验年限和性别划分的。结果:序列中介分析为提出的模型提供了支持，其中BPN和享受是涉及任务的气候和运动员继续运动的意愿之间最重要的中介。结论:在任务卷入气候、BPN、SDM和长期运动练习之间的关系中，享受是最相关的持续意图预测因子，也是重要的中介。教练创造的任务氛围似乎启动了一个序列，在这个序列中，基本需求和SDM的满足会让年轻运动员更享受，更坚持不懈。
