目的：以自我决定理论为框架，本研究测试了感知能力、自主性和相关性是否介导了感知自主支持性教练与运动员动机取向之间的关系。设计：在定期训练期间进行的横断面调查研究。方法：男性和女性高中和大学运动员（N = 581）完成了评估感兴趣的关键变量的问卷调查。结果：结构方程模型揭示了对中介效应的支持。具体来说，结果表明，运动员认为教练支持自主的程度显着预测了运动员的感知能力、自主性和关联感，而这反过来又预测了他们的动机取向。这种关系模式在性别和竞争水平上都是不变的。结论：结果支持自我决定理论，并强调自主支持辅导行为的激励益处。 (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Objectives: Using self-determination theory as a framework, this study tested whether perceived competence, autonomy, and relatedness mediated the relationship between perceived autonomy-supportive coaching and athletes' motivational orientation.Design: A cross-sectional, survey study conducted during a regularly schedule training session.Method: Male and female high school and college athletes (N = 581) completed questionnaires assessing the key variables of interest.Results: Structural equation modeling revealed support for a mediational effect. Specifically, results indicated that the degree to which athletes perceived their coaches to be autonomy-supportive significantly predicted the athletes' perceived competence, autonomy, and sense of relatedness, which, in turn, each predicted their motivational orientation. This pattern of relationships was invariant across gender and level of competition.Conclusions: Results support self-determination theory and highlight the motivational benefits of autonomy-supportive coaching behaviors.
