Our study proposed a path model of sportsperson ship using self-determined motivation as mediating variable and sport orientations as distal determinants. 166 competitive level athletes divided into two groups according to the type of sport (individual and team sports) completed a questionnaire composed of the Sport Orientation Questionnaire, the Sport Motivation Scale, the Multidimensional Sport Orientation Scale, and the socio-graphic section. Anova analysis and path meditational model were examined. Results showed main effects of gender and type of sports on sport orientations, and the indirect effects of sport orientations on sportsperson ship, as well as the meditational role of self-determined sport motivation.

Abstract
Our study proposed a path model of sportsperson ship using self-determined motivation as mediating variable and sport orientations as distal determinants. 166 competitive level athletes divided into two groups according to the type of sport (individual and team sports) completed a questionnaire composed of the Sport Orientation Questionnaire, the Sport Motivation Scale, the Multidimensional Sport Orientation Scale, and the socio-graphic section. Anova analysis and path meditational model were examined. Results showed main effects of gender and type of sports on sport orientations, and the indirect effects of sport orientations on sportsperson ship, as well as the meditational role of self-determined sport motivation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
