Abstract Using self-determination theory (SDT) (Deci, E.L., & Ryan, R.M. (1985). Intrinsic motivation and self-determination in human behavior. New York, NY: Plenum) as the theoretical framework, we conducted a longitudinal investigation of the temporal ordering between motivation and burnout among youth athletes in intensive training setting. Data were collected from 145 table tennis players in intensive training centres at three time points during a 2-month period characterised by a simultaneous increase in social, physical and psychological demands for these athletes. Structural equation modelling of cross-lagged panel models was used to test the hypotheses. Results showed significant paths leading from athlete burnout – especially sport devaluation and reduced sense of accomplishment – at time 1 to amotivation, intrinsic and extrinsic motivations at times 2 and 3. Only two significant paths leading from motivation (introjected regulation at time 1) to burnout (emotional/physical exhaustion at time 2 and reduced sense of accomplishment at time 3) were identified. Overall, our results suggest that athlete burnout predicts motivation over time but motivation did not predict athlete burnout over time. Results are discussed in terms of current research findings on SDT.

A Reciprocal Effects Model of the Temporal Ordering of Basic Psychological Needs and Motivation

Using self-determination theory as the framework, we examined the temporal ordering between satisfaction and thwarting of basic psychological needs and motivation. We accomplished this goal by using a two-wave 7-month partial least squares path modeling approach (PLS-PM) among a sample of 94 adolescent athletes (Mage = 15.96) in an intensive training setting. The PLS-PM results showed significant paths leading: (a) from T1 satisfaction of basic psychological need for competence to T2 identified regulation, (b) from T1 external regulation to T2 thwarting and satisfaction of basic psychological need for competence, and (c) from T1 amotivation to T2 satisfaction of basic psychological need for relatedness. Overall, our results suggest that the relationship between basic psychological need and motivation varied depending on the type of basic need and motivation assessed. Basic psychological need for competence predicted identified regulation over time whereas amotivation and external regulation predicted basic psychological need for relatedness or competence over time.

La relazione allenatore-atleta in adolescenza : implicazioni per il benessere percepito : uno studio qualitativo

Silvia Scotto di Luzio; Fortuna Procentese; Emma Guillet-Descas

I diversi contesti relazionali in cui si svolgono le attivita sportive a livello agonistico e, in particolare, il comportamento e lo stile interpersonale dell’allenatore svolgono un ruolo fondamentale nel plasmare i potenziali effetti psicologici, emotivi e fisici (sia positivi che negativi) della partecipazione sportiva in adolescenza. Obiettivo del presente lavoro e stato esplorare il processo di costruzione e di sviluppo della relazione allenatore-atleta e le ripercussioni della qualita di tale relazione sul benessere personale percepito dai protagonisti. A tal fine, sono stati intervistati 50 atleti adolescenti e 21 allenatori, provenienti da societa sportive campane. Le interviste, trascritte verbatim, sono state analizzate attraverso l’approccio della Grounded Theory. Dall’analisi sono emerse 13 categorie raggruppate in 3 macro aree concettuali: 1) Ruoli e compiti nella relazione allenatore-atleta. 2) La vittoria: punto di arrivo o punto di partenza? 3) L’evoluzione della relazione in rapporto ai sistemi di riferimento. La core category individuata e Benefici della relazione: dalla solitudine alla condivisione. Dalla lettura del fenomeno emergono due diversi stili interattivi che caratterizzano la relazione allenatore-atleta, che sono fortemente influenzati dal significato simbolico attribuito al concetto di vittoria e influiscono sulla percezione di benessere e di partecipazione. E stata inoltre individuata una dimensione di profonda solitudine, legata alla percezione di una difficolta nel ritagliare uno spazio e un tempo dedicati alla riflessione e al dialogo rispetto alla natura della relazione stessa. Cio rimanda alla necessita di teorizzare ed intervenire sulla percezione dei contesti relazionali in un’ottica di prevenzione del drop-out e di promozione del benessere.
