This study aimed at examining the mediation role of self-determined motivation (identified and integrated regulation and intrinsic motivation) in the association between task-involving climate and enjoyment in youth male football athletes.
A total of 109 youth males (M = 14.38; SD = 1.55) were recruited to participate in this study. The survey included sociodemographic data and validated instruments such as the Motivational Climate Sport Youth Scale, the Behavioral Regulation Sport Questionnaire, and the Sports Enjoyment Scale.
The results showed that the task-involving climate was a positive and significant predictor of integrated regulation and intrinsic motivation. In addition, integrated regulation and intrinsic motivation were positive and significant predictors of enjoyment. The results of the mediation analysis revealed a partial mediation role of self-determined motivation in the relationship between task-involving climate and enjoyment. Significant indirect effects only occurred through intrinsic motivation.
Providing higher levels of enjoyment in the sport context could be an excellent option for leisure activities for children and youth, as long as self-determined motivation and task-involving climates provided by the coaches are present.
本研究旨在考察任务卷入型气候与青少年男性足球运动员的享受之间的关系中，自我决定动机（认同调节、整合调节和内在动机）的中介作用。
共招募了 109 名青少年男性（M=14.38；SD=1.55）参与本研究。调查包括人口统计学数据和经过验证的工具，如运动动机气候量表青年版、运动行为调节问卷和运动享受量表。
结果表明，任务卷入型气候是整合调节和内在动机的积极且显著的预测因子。此外，整合调节和内在动机是享受的积极且显著的预测因子。中介分析的结果表明，自我决定动机在任务卷入型气候和享受之间的关系中起部分中介作用。仅通过内在动机发生显著的间接效应。
在运动情境中提供更高水平的享受对于儿童和青少年的休闲活动来说是一个很好的选择，只要教练提供的自我决定动机和任务卷入型气候存在。
