dc.description.abstract | The purpose of the present dissertation is to extend our understanding of young
athletes’ sport participation process from a psychosocial perspective by
examining the reasons why young athletes persist in or withdraw from sport,
and how the coach–athlete relationship and motivational aspects influence their
participation behaviour in organized sport. The problem setting was based upon
achievement goal theory, and self-determination theory. The analyses of this
study were based on two data sets, including 2,014 and 2,243 young Finnish
football, ice hockey and basketball players, aged 15 to 16 years. Participants
responded to a multi–sectional questionnaire incorporating the Finnish versions
of the Questionnaire of Reasons for Attrition, the Coach–Athlete Relationship
Questionnaire, the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire, the
Sport Motivation Scale, the Perceived Physical Competence Scale, Enjoyment
Scale, and the Perception of Success Questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analyses
and Cronbach’s alpha coefficients determined all scales in the survey to be
psychometrically sound. With respect to withdrawal from organized sport, the
results indicated that “having other things to do” and a decline in excitement
were the most important reasons for withdrawal. Withdrawn players also
reported lower scores than persistent players did in the coach–athlete
relationship, task-climate, intrinsic motivation, task- and ego orientation, and
perceived competence. Young athletes’ profiles with high coach–athlete
relationship and task climate, and moderate ego climate, as well profiles with
high autonomous and controlled motivation, appeared to be the most beneficial
from the perspective of sport persistence. The model of this dissertation also
highlighted how young athletes’ goal orientation and perceived competence
predict different degrees of relative autonomous motivation and persistence in
organized youth sport. The findings reinforce the necessity for sports
practitioners to support and encourage young athletes’ achievement goals, foster
coach–athlete relationships, autonomous and controlled motivation as well as to
enhance young athletes’ perception of competence in order to keep them
motivated to sustain participation in organized sport settings. | |
