Grounded on the self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985, 2000) and achievement goals theory (Ames, 1992; Nicholls, 1989), this study via structural equation modelling, predicted intention to continue in sport from goal orientations and motivations among athlete students. 268 athlete students (Mage = 21.9), in Iranian universities completed a multi-section questionnaire tapping the targeted variables. Structural equation modelling (SEM) offered an overall support for the proposed model. The results showed that there are positive relationships between intention to continue in sport and both orientations as well as both motivations. A task-involving orientation emerged as a positive predictor of the autonomous motivation, while an ego-involving orientation was a positive predictor controlled motivation as well as autonomous motivation. The results also support positive paths between autonomous motivation and future intention to participate in sport. Autonomous motivation also was a positive mediator in relationship between task orientation and the intentions. As a conclusion, the implications of the task-involving orientation are discussabled in the light of its importance for the quality and potential maintenance of sport involvement among athlete students.
基于自我决定理论（德西和瑞安，1985年、2000年）和成就目标理论（阿姆斯，1992年；尼科尔斯，1989年），本研究通过结构方程模型，从目标导向和动机方面预测了运动员学生继续从事体育运动的意愿。268名伊朗大学的运动员学生（平均年龄=21.9岁）完成了一份多部分问卷，用以测量目标变量。结构方程模型（SEM）为所提出的模型提供了全面支持。结果表明，继续从事体育运动的意愿与两种导向以及两种动机之间均存在正相关关系。任务参与导向是自主动机的积极预测因素，而自我参与导向是受控动机以及自主动机的积极预测因素。研究结果还支持自主动机与未来参与体育运动意愿之间的正向路径。自主动机在任务导向与意愿之间的关系中也是一个积极的中介因素。总之，鉴于任务参与导向对运动员学生参与体育运动的质量和潜在持续性具有重要意义，其影响值得探讨。
