This study examined the relationships among social factors, individual differences, intrinsic motivation, and effort persistence in the physical education context using cognitive evaluation theory as a framework. Female (n = 201) and male (n = 206) high school students completed measures of motivational climate, teaching style, perceived competence, self-determination, good orientations, and intrinsic motivation. teachers rated the students on effort and persistence in the class activities. Hypothesized relationships among the variables were tested using structural equation modeling. results revealed that perceived competence and goal orientations directly predicted intrinsic motivation and mediated the efforts of motivational climate and teaching style on intrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation directly predicted effort and persistence. Task goal orientation mediated the effects of learning climate on perceived competence and self-determination. The strongest predictors of intrinsic motivation and effort and persistence were task goal orientation, perceived competence, and learning climate.
