The means of groups on each scale were compared by the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), verifying the significance of differences with Tukeys test. RESULTS: The scale showed consistent psychometric properties converging to a stable factor structure and a suitable reliability that was very close to the original study. CONCLUSION: The results support the psychometric properties of the scale, indicating its applicability for research in hospital settings nationwide.

Competência percebida e atribuição de causalidade em jogadores juniores de futebol

RESUMO - O modelo motivacional da atribuicao de causalidade preve que sentimentos e expectativas gerados pelo tipo de causa utilizada pelo individuo, para explicar o que acontece com ele mesmo, podem influenciar sua motivacao. Assim, pretendeu-se investigar as causas atribuidas por 111 jogadores juniores de futebol ao proprio nivel de competencia e sua influencia nos sentimentos, expectativas e disposicao para agir. Os resultados indicaram que aqueles que avaliaram ter alto nivel de competencia utilizaram causas mais internas, mais estaveis e igualmente controlaveis, em comparacao aqueles que avaliaram ter um nivel menor de competencia. Isso pode explicar a ausencia de diferencas significativas nas emocoes negativas, expectativas e disposicoes para a acao dos atletas. Palavras-chave: causalidade; competencia; motivacao; futebol. ABSTRACT - The motivational model of causal attribution predicts that emotions and expectations generated by the type of cause utilized by a person, to explain what happens to himself, can influence his motivation. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the causes attributed by 111 junior football players to their competence level and its influence on their emotions, expectations and disposition for the action. The results showed that those who evaluated having a high competence level utilized more internal, more stable and equally controllable causes comparing to those who evaluated having a lower competence level. This may explain the absence of significant differences in negative emotions, expectations, and dispositions for the action of athletes. Keywords: causality; competence; motivation; football.
