The aim of this phenomenological study is to determine the motivational factors in the participation of wheelchair basketball players in sports according to Self-Determination Theory.
The study group of the research was determined by the criterion sampling method, which is one of the purposeful sampling methods. Accordingly, thirteen (13) wheelchair athletes constituted the study group. In the research, a personal information form and a semi-structured interview form were prepared as data collection tools within the framework of the self-determination theory. Interviews were conducted face-to-face with the prepared interview forms. The data were analyzed by reflexive thematic analysis method.
Six (6) themes emerged: constraints, coping strategies, appreciation, positive feedback, need for existence, and development. Sixteen sub-themes related to these themes were identified.
The most significant factors causing a lack of motivation in wheelchair basketball athletes were observed to be structural constraints such as access to materials and facilities. Extrinsic sources of motivation were identified as the positive attitudes and behaviors of individuals in their environment, often related to admiration, appreciation, and being set as an example, and this situation has a positive impact on wheelchair basketball athletes. On the other hand, it can be stated that intrinsic motivations such as identity change, gaining self-confidence, and the feeling of success are crucial in overcoming constraints through sports participation.
本现象学研究的目的是根据自我决定理论确定轮椅篮球运动员参与体育运动的动机因素。
本研究的研究组采用目的抽样方法之一的标准抽样法确定。据此，13名轮椅运动员组成了研究组。在研究中，根据自我决定理论编制了个人信息表和半结构化访谈表作为数据收集工具。使用编制好的访谈表进行面对面访谈。采用反思性主题分析法对数据进行分析。
出现了6个主题：限制因素、应对策略、赞赏、积极反馈、存在需求和发展。确定了与这些主题相关的16个子主题。
观察到导致轮椅篮球运动员缺乏动力的最主要因素是获得材料和设施等结构性限制。外在动机源被确定为个人在其环境中的积极态度和行为，通常与钦佩、赞赏和被树立为榜样有关，这种情况对轮椅篮球运动员有积极影响。另一方面，可以说身份改变、获得自信和成功感等内在动机对于通过参与体育运动克服限制至关重要。
