Motivational Profiles and Their Relation to Coaching Behaviours and Dropout in Swedish Female Ice Hockey: A Latent Profile Analysis
2023 (English)Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesisAlternative title
Motivationsprofiler och deras relation till tränarbeteenden och dropout i svensk damishockey : en latent profilanalys (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to use a person-centered approach to identify latent motivational profiles among female ice hockey players in Sweden, and examine how identified profiles relate to coaching behaviours and dropout.

Methods: Swedish female ice hockey players (N = 140; Mage = 21.66, SD= 7.50 years of age) answered an online survey that contained questionnaires that measured behavioural regulations in sport, perceived coaching behaviours, and intentions to dropout of ice hockey. The latent motivational profiles were identified using latent profile analysis.    

Results: Two latent motivational profiles were identified, an ambiguously motivated profile and a self-determined profile, which mostly differed in terms of amotivation and controlled motivation. Need-thwarting coaching behaviours were associated with an increased likelihood of belonging to the ambiguously motivated profile, which also reported significantly higher intentions of dropping out of ice hockey. 

Conclusion: Findings suggest that coaches and organizations who want to decrease dropout in Swedish female ice hockey should aim to promote their players' self-determined motivation and refrain from using need-thwarting behaviours.

Abstract [sv]

Syfte: Syftet med studien var att med en personcentrerad approach identifiera latenta motivationsprofiler hos svenska damishockeyspelare, och undersöka de identifierade profilernas relation till tränarbeteenden och avhopp.

Metod: Svenska damishockeyspelare (N = 140; Målder = 21.66, SD= 7.50 år) besvarade en webbenkät som innehöll frågeformulär som mätte beteenderegleringar inom idrott, tränarbeteenden och avsikt till avhopp från ishockey. De latenta motivationsprofilerna identifierades med hjälp av en latent profilanalys.

Resultat: Två latenta motivationsprofiler identifierades, en tvetydigt motiverad profil och en självbestämd profil, som mestadels skiljde sig åt vad gäller amotivation och kontrollerad motivation. Behovshämmande tränarbeteedenden associerades med en ökad sannolikhet att tillhöra den tvetydigt motiverade profilen, som också rapporterade signifikant högre avsikter till avhopp.

Slutsatser: Resultaten tyder på att tränare och organisationer som vill minska avhopp i svensk damishockey bör sträva efter att främja sina spelares självbestämmande motivation och avstå från att använda behovshämmande beteenden.
