To better understand the role of novelty satisfaction in distance physical education (PE) during the COVID-19 pandemic, this study aimed to determine the relationships among students' novelty satisfaction, basic psychological needs satisfaction, autonomous motivation, effort, and enjoyment and to examine the mediating effects of autonomous motivation in the relationships between novelty satisfaction and effort and enjoyment.
The participants were 332 undergraduate students from 10 PE classes. Structural equation modeling was used for data analysis.
Satisfaction of students' need for novelty and the three basic needs positively predicted autonomous motivation, which in turn positively predicted effort and enjoyment. The relationships between students' novelty satisfaction and their effort and enjoyment were mediated by autonomous motivation.
This study provides important insights into needs satisfaction and motivational underpinnings of outcomes in distance PE during the COVID-19 pandemic. We suggest that future studies develop novelty support strategies based on our findings.
在 COVID-19 大流行期间,更好地了解远程体育教育(PE)中新颖性满足感的作用,本研究旨在确定学生新颖性满足感、基本心理需求满足感、自主动机、努力和享受之间的关系,并检验自主动机在新颖性满足感与努力和享受之间的关系中的中介作用。
参与者为来自 10 个 PE 班的 332 名本科生。结构方程模型用于数据分析。
学生对新颖性的需求满足感和三种基本需求积极地预测了自主动机,而自主动机又积极地预测了努力和享受。学生的新颖性满足感与他们的努力和享受之间的关系被自主动机所中介。
本研究为 COVID-19 大流行期间远程 PE 中需求满足感和动机对结果的影响提供了重要的见解。我们建议未来的研究根据我们的发现制定新颖性支持策略。
