Description
Summary:This paper aims to explore the motivational climate in the athletic training room, determine if individual characteristics influence an athlete's perception of the motivational climate, and examine whether the motivational climate can predict different psychosocial beliefs. Participants were 180 male and female intercollegiate athletes from 13 different sports at one university. A survey comprised of PMCSQ-2, TEOSQ, a sport rehabilitation enjoyment measure, and a perceived competence in rehabilitation measure, along with demographic questions was used. Survey information was entered into SPSS statistical software. Preliminary analyses (frequencies, descriptives, reliabilities and correlations) followed by a series of MANOVAs and a multivariate regression were conducted. Result shows that 9% of the variance of perceptions of the motivational climate was accounted for by gender differences; 12% by starter status differences; 45% by goal orientation differences; however; perceptions of the motivational climate failed to predict level of rehabilitation enjoyment and perceptions of rehabilitation competence.
