Vuxna idrottares upplevelser av motivationsklimat: En kvalitativ undersökning om målorientering och motivation.
(2019) PSYK11 20191Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Trots att det finns fördelar med fysisk aktivitet har studier visat att deltagande inom idrott minskar med åldern (Biddle, 2008; Oja et al, 2015; Ståhle, 2008). Syftet med denna studie var därför att undersöka hur motivationsklimat på träningen för vuxna idrottare upplevs och deras resonemang kring hur ett motivationsklimat fördelaktigt ska se ut. Studien konstruerades efter ”Achievement Goal Theory” utifrån Nicholls (1984) och Ames (1992). Metoden som användes för att utföra studien var semistrukturerade intervjuer med åtta vuxna idrottare. Idrottarna var på olika nivåer och deltog i både individuell idrott samt lagidrott. Intervjuerna analyserades med en teoretisk tematisk analys. Resultatet visade att deltagare ansåg att... (More)

Idrottarna var på olika nivåer och deltog i både individuell idrott samt lagidrott. Intervjuerna analyserades med en teoretisk tematisk analys. Resultatet visade att deltagare ansåg att motivationsklimat med goda relationer är viktigt för bibehållandet av motivation inom idrotten. Feedback ansågs som en viktig aspekt av motivationsklimatet där betoning låg på hur den återges och vid vilken tidpunkt. Deltagarna visade även på både uppgifts- och ego-orientering samtidigt. Förslag till vidare forskning är att undersöka påverkan av det sociala klimatet inom vuxenidrott och på vilket sätt tränare skulle kunna ge feedback på bästa sätt för en eventuellt ökad motivation som resultat.

- Abstract
- Despite benefits of physical activity, studies have shown that participation in sport decreases with age (Biddle, 2008; Oja et al, 2015; Ståhle, 2008). The goal of the study was to examine how the motivational climate during training for adult athletes is experienced and their reasoning around how a motivational climate should look like. The study was based upon Achievement Goal Theory through Nicholls (1984) and Ames (1992). Semi-structured interviews with eight adult athletes were used to perform the study. The athletes were on different levels and participated in both individual as well as team sports. The interviews were analysed using a theoretical thematic analysis. Results showed that the participants considered a motivational... (More)

The athletes were on different levels and participated in both individual as well as team sports. The interviews were analysed using a theoretical thematic analysis. Results showed that the participants considered a motivational climate with good social relations important for further participation within sports. Participants deemed how and when feedback was given as important. Both task and ego-orientation were displayed in the participants. Further research could be done to examine the effects of the social climate within adult sports and in which way coaches could give feedback in an optimal way for an eventual increase in motivation as a result.
