Although perceived competence is generally considered a determinant of motivation, little research has actually studied the relation between the two constructs on a longitudinal basis and in natural settings. This was the purpose of the present study. Canadian male adolescent hockey players (N = 64) in their first year at an elite level completed a questionnaire 2 weeks into the hockey season (T1) and at the end of the regular season (T2), assessing perceived competence and self-determined motivation at both times. The results partially support the hypothesis that, over time, perceived competence determines motivation (rather than the reverse) but do not exclude the possibility that, with time, motivation may also influence perceptions of competence.
尽管感知能力通常被认为是动机的一个决定因素，但实际上很少有研究在纵向和自然环境中研究这两个构念之间的关系。这就是本研究的目的。处于精英水平第一年的加拿大男性青少年曲棍球运动员（N = 64）在曲棍球赛季开始2周时（T1）和常规赛结束时（T2）完成了一份问卷，两次都评估了感知能力和自我决定的动机。结果部分支持了这样的假设，即随着时间的推移，感知能力决定动机（而不是相反），但不排除随着时间的推移，动机也可能影响能力感知的可能性。
