The extant literature has identified some variables that are associated with sport coaches' coaching style, like their basic psychological need satisfaction, their motivation for coaching, and their psychological well-being. Framed from a conceptual framework based on Self-Determination Theory applied to sport coaches, the current study explored how sport coaches' basic psychological needs are associated with their motivation (intrinsic vs. external), subjective vitality, and coaching behaviors (autonomy-supporting vs. need-thwarting). Participants were 184 Italian sport coaches (males = 65%, M = 40.22, SD = 11.55, age range 19-74 years) from the "Centro CONI" project. They were requested to fill out online self-report questionnaires assessing the study variables. Structural equation modeling analyses suggested that sport coaches' satisfaction of basic psychological needs was associated with higher levels of intrinsic motivation to train as well as with higher levels of vitality that, in turn, were associated with coaching behaviors supporting athletes' autonomy. Moreover, sport coaches' frustration of basic psychological needs was associated with higher levels of external motivation to train that, in turn, were associated with higher levels of a need-thwarting coaching style. Overall, the findings provided additional support for understanding how sport coaches' basic psychological needs relate to their coaching styles.
现有文献已经确定了一些与体育教练的执教风格相关的变量，比如他们基本心理需求的满足程度、执教动机以及心理健康状况。基于应用于体育教练的自我决定理论构建的概念框架，本研究探讨了体育教练的基本心理需求如何与他们的动机（内在动机与外在动机）、主观活力以及执教行为（支持自主性与阻碍需求）相关联。参与者是来自“Centro CONI”项目的184名意大利体育教练（男性占65%，M = 40.22，SD = 11.55，年龄范围19 - 74岁）。他们被要求填写在线自评问卷以评估研究变量。结构方程模型分析表明，体育教练基本心理需求的满足与更高水平的内在训练动机以及更高水平的活力相关，而活力又与支持运动员自主性的执教行为相关。此外，体育教练基本心理需求的受挫与更高水平的外在训练动机相关，而外在训练动机又与更高水平的阻碍需求的执教风格相关。总体而言，这些发现为理解体育教练的基本心理需求如何与其执教风格相关提供了更多支持。
