ABSTRACT:
This study was designed to examine potential correlates of positive and negative affect experienced by young athletes during a competitive sport season. An index of both positive affect, season-long enjoyment, and negative affect, competitive trait anxiety (CTA) were included. The study was grounded within Harter's (1978, 1981a) theory of competence motivation. Male and female participants (N is 207) in an agency-sponsored youth basketball league completed self-report measures of self-esteem, perceived basketball competence, intrinsic/extrinsic motivational orientation, perceived parental pressure, and frequency of performance and evaluative worries. Team win/loss records and estimate of each player's ability were obtained from the coaches. Multiple regression analyses revealed that for both boys and girls, greater enjoyment was predicted by high instrinsic motivation and low perceived parental pressure. High CTA was predicted for both boys and girls by low self-esteem. These findings are consistent with predictions stemming from competence motivation theory. Examines potential correlates of positive and negative affect experienced by young athletes during a competitive sport season, within the theoretical perspective proposed by Harter's theory of competence motivation. Looks at positive affect in terms of season-long enjoyment levels, as well as negative affect as indicated by high levels of competitive trait anxiety. Children (n=207) participating in a youth basketball league complete self-report measures of self-esteem, perceived basketball competence, intrinsic/extrinsic motivational orientation, perceived parental pressure, and frequency of worries about performance and evaluation. Obtains team win/loss records, as well as estimates of each player's ability, from the coaches. Finds that greater enjoyment is predicted by high intrinsic motivation and low perceived parental pressure. High competitive trait anxiety is predicted by low self-esteem.
