Abstract
MORENO-LUQUE, M et al. Coach interaction style, perceived motivational climate and satisfaction of basic psychological needs in young soccer players. CPD [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.3, pp.79-89. Epub June 22, 2020. ISSN 1989-5879.
The aim of this paper was to analyze the perceived motivational climate through the relationships between the coach's interaction style (autonomy support or controlling style) with the constructs of the Achievement Goal Theory (ego climate or task climate) and the degree of basic psychological needs satisfaction in a sample of young athletes. 125 players from the province of Málaga (Spain) participated in this research, aged between 15 and 18 years old (M = 16.66, SD = 1.13). To collect the information we used the Controlling Coach Behaviors Scale (CCBS), the Autonomy-Supportive Coaching Questionnaire (ASCQ), the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire - 2 (PMCSQ-2) and the Psychological Need Satisfaction in Exercise scale (PNSE). Results revealed negative relationships between the satisfaction of basic psychological needs and the controlling style, but positive with autonomy support. In addition, it highlights the positive relationships between the controlling style and the perception of ego-involving climates, being negative with the task-involving climates.
