Motivation and Self-Concept in Sports Education, Achievement, and Giftedness Sport Psychology and Performance

Abstract

Abstract InStudy 1, a sample of tennis players ranked at the national level (n = 173) completed aFrench version of theSituationalMotivationScale the day before a tennis competition. Results revealed the presence of a three‐cluster solution. Differences among clusters on subsequent sport performance were significant. Specifically, athletes with the least self‐determined motivational profile obtained the lowest levels of performance.Study 2 (n = 319) replicated the findings ofStudy 1 with a larger sample of national level tennis players. Overall, these results suggest that it is useful to analyze individuals' situational motivational profiles using a cluster analysis to understand the complex link between motivation and performance.
