What influences athletes' dropout? : An analysis of motivation, need support, and intention to quit (English)
Abstract [sv]
Syftet med föreliggande studie är att undersöka om självbestämmande motivation, kontrollerande motivation och behovsstöd predicerar intention till avhopp hos lagidrottare. Studien tillämpade en kvantitativ tvärsnittsdesign, där deltagarna rekryterades via ett tillgänglighetsurval. Datainsamlingen genomfördes via en digital enkät och antalet deltagare var 101 lagidrottare i åldrarna 15-20 år (M=2.65, SD=1.42). Resultatet av den multipla regressionsanalysen visade att såväl självbestämmande motivation samt behovsstöd hade ett negativt samband med intention till avhopp hos lagidrottare. Däremot fann studien att kontrollerad motivation inte hade ett positivt samband med intention till avhopp hos lagidrottare.
Abstract [en]
The aim of the present study is to investigate whether self-determined motivation, controlled motivation, and need support predict the intention to drop out among team sport athletes. The study applied a quantitative cross-sectional design, with participants recruited through a convenience sampling method. Data collection was conducted via a digital survey, and the number of participants was 101 team sport athletes aged 15–20 years (M = 2.65, SD = 1.42). The results of the multiple regression analysis revealed that both self-determined motivation and need support had a negative association with the intention to drop out among team sport athletes. However, the study found that controlled motivation did not have a positive association with the intention to drop out among team sport athletes.
