The purpose of the present study, grounded in self-determination theory, was to explore the relationship between Paralympic athletes' perceptions of autonomy-supportive coach behavior basic psychological needs, and intrinsic motivation to know, accomplish, and experience stimulation. One hundred thirteen Canadian Paralympic athletes completed an online survey, consisting of measures of coach autonomy support; of perceptions of autonomy, competence, and relatedness; and of intrinsic motivation. Perceived coach autonomy support was a predictor of athletes' perceptions of autonomy and relatedness. Perceived competence was a significant predictor of all three forms of intrinsic motivation, while perceived autonomy was a significant predictor of intrinsic motivation to accomplish and experience stimulation. The results highlight the important relationship between coach behavior and athlete motivation in disability sport.
本研究根植于自我决定理论，旨在探讨残奥会运动员对教练自主性支持行为、基本心理需求以及对知识、成就和体验刺激的内在动机之间的关系。113 名加拿大残奥会运动员完成了一项在线调查，其中包括对教练自主性支持的看法、对自主性、能力和关联性的看法以及对内在动机的看法。感知到的教练自主性支持是运动员感知自主性和关联性的预测因素。感知到的能力是所有三种内在动机的显著预测因素，而感知到的自主性是对成就和体验刺激的内在动机的显著预测因素。研究结果突出了教练行为与残疾运动员动机之间的重要关系。
