This study based on the self-determination theory aims to examine the relationship among the aspirations that fathers have about their children's youth baseball practice, the children's basic psychological needs (satisfaction and frustration), and their intentions to either continue or drop out of baseball practice in a sample of children from Hermosillo, Mexico. A cross-sectional study was carried out involving 533 fathers (M = 44.30, SD = 5.18) and 533 children (M = 13.09, SD = 1.68). The results showed that the intrinsic aspirations of fathers were positively correlated to the satisfaction of the children's psychological needs, whereas the extrinsic aspirations of fathers were positively correlated with the frustration of the children's psychological needs. Satisfaction of basic psychological needs was positively correlated with the intention to continue and negatively correlated with dropout; on the contrary, frustration of basic psychological needs was negatively correlated with the intention to continue and positively with dropout. In conclusion, the fathers' pursuit of intrinsic aspirations for their children in the youth baseball context satisfies the children's basic psychological needs, and in turn, their intention to continue practicing increases. Conversely, when a father pursues extrinsic aspirations for his son in youth baseball, the child will feel his basic psychological needs frustrated, and he will have a greater intention to drop out. Overall, this study extends the existing sport-scientific literature by confirming the impact of parents' aspirations on their children's basic psychological needs and intention to continue being baseball players.
这项研究基于自我决定理论，旨在检验父亲对孩子青年棒球训练的期望、孩子的基本心理需求（满足和挫折）以及他们继续或退出棒球训练的意图之间的关系，研究对象为来自墨西哥埃莫西约的儿童。进行了一项横断面研究，涉及 533 名父亲（M=44.30，SD=5.18）和 533 名儿童（M=13.09，SD=1.68）。结果表明，父亲的内在期望与孩子心理需求的满足呈正相关，而父亲的外在期望与孩子心理需求的挫折呈正相关。基本心理需求的满足与继续参与呈正相关，与退出呈负相关；相反，基本心理需求的挫折与继续参与呈负相关，与退出呈正相关。总之，父亲在青年棒球背景下对孩子内在期望的追求满足了孩子的基本心理需求，从而增加了他们继续练习的意愿。相反，当父亲在青年棒球中对儿子追求外在期望时，孩子会感到自己的基本心理需求受挫，他更有可能退出。总的来说，这项研究通过证实父母期望对孩子基本心理需求和继续成为棒球运动员的意图的影响，扩展了现有的运动科学文献。
