Relationen mellan motivation och målorientering, upplevd förmåga samt uppfattat motivationsklimat hos gymtränande kvinnor och män

<p>The purpose was to examine relations between motivation and goal orientation, perceived ability and perceived motivational climate among persons working out in gym. Another purpose was to study differences in motivation, perceived ability and motivational climate among men and women. The final purpose was to study interactional effects on the dependent variable motivation. The participants were 59 men and 69 women. The instruments used were Task and Ego Goal Orientation in Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ), Harter´s Competence scale and part of Mahoneys R-5 test. The results showed positive correlation between motivation and task orientation, and between motivation and perceived ability. Further the results showed positive correlations between perceived ability and both task and ego orientation. Women perceived higher level of task orientation than men. No interactional effects were found. Instructors should focus on taskoriented goalstrategies and develop clients competens for higher motivation.</p>
