A partir de la Teoría de la Auto-Determinación, esta investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar las posibles diferencias motivacionales que el profesorado en formación inicial informara al inicio y final de su periodo de formación inicial docente. Participaron 429 profesores españoles en formación inicial. Los análisis de la prueba t-Student de muestras apareadas revelaron que el profesorado informó una mayor puntuación en la regulación integrada y regulación identificada al final del periodo formativo. De igual modo, los resultados indicaron que el profesorado mostró al final del máster puntuaciones más bajas tanto en desmotivación como en cada sub-tipo de motivación intrínseca respecto a las puntuaciones informadas al inicio de este proceso formativo. Estos resultados subrayan la importancia del proceso de internalización de la conducta docente cuando el profesorado cursa con éxito su programa de formación inicial.

Based on the self-determination theory (Deci and Ryan, 1985, 2000), the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of exercise goal contents on exercise addiction, taking into account the mediating effects of passion for exercise. A total of 384 university students (284 men and 100 women; Mage = 20.31, SD = 3.10) completed a questionnaire that measured exercise frequency and intensity, exercise goal contents (e.g. intrinsic: social affiliation, health management, skill development; extrinsic: image and social recognition), passion for exercise (e.g. harmonious and obsessive), and exercise addiction. After controlling the exercise frequency and intensity effects, results showed that goal contents did not directly predict exercise addiction. However, mediation analysis showed that goal contents predicted addiction through passion for exercise. These results support a motivational sequence in which extrinsic versus intrinsic goals influence exercise addiction because such goals are positively associated with obsessive passion for exercise and negatively associated with harmonious passion.

The purpose of this study was to validate the Spanish version of the Goal Content for Exercise Questionnaire. A total of 398 university students (302 males and 96 females) participated in this study, and completed questionnaires that measured the satisfaction of basic psychological needs, motivational regulations, and goal content for exercise. The results supported the first-order five-factor model (social affiliation, health management, skill development, image and social recognition), as well as the higher order two-factor model, called intrinsic and extrinsic goals, respectively. The structure of both models did not change with gender. Adequate levels were obtained for internal consistency and temporal stability. Intrinsic goals were positively associated with satisfaction of basic psychological needs and autonomous regulation in exercise, while extrinsic goals were positively associated with controlling regulation. The findings of this study provided support to use Goal Content for Exercise Questionnaire in Spanish context in order to measure intrinsic and extrinsic exercise goals, in line with the postulates of self-determination theory.

One of the main goals for physical education is to develop the students&rsquo, moral and ethical domain, where sportsmanship promotion is considered a key curricular component to tackle the achievement of this goal. This research aims to examine the influence of sport education on sportsmanship orientations in high school students. The participants were 148 (52.70% female, Mage = 17.04, SDage = 0.99) high school students who were randomized into an experimental group (n = 74), which received 16 basketball lessons under sport education conditions, and a control group (n = 74), which received 16 basketball lessons following a traditional teaching approach. Pre-intervention and post-intervention measures on sportsmanship orientations were collected in both groups. A 2 (time: pre-test and post-test) x 2 (group: Sport Education and Traditional Teaching) multivariate analysis of variance test was performed on the five sportsmanship orientations. The results showed, for time x group interactions, the absence of significant multivariate effects in the level of the five sportsmanship orientations among both groups at pre-test (Pillai&rsquo, s trace = 0.06, p = 0.145). At post-test, significant multivariate effects were found in the level of each sportsmanship orientation between both groups in favor of the Sport Education group (Pillai&rsquo, s trace = 0.38, p &lt, 0.001). Furthermore, regarding within-group pre-test to post-test differences, while there were nonsignificant multivariate effects (Pillai&rsquo, s trace = 0.03, p = 0.469) for the Traditional Teaching group, significant multivariate effects (Pillai&rsquo, s trace = 0.43, p &lt, 0.001) were found for the Sport Education group, showing an increase in the level of respect for social conventions, respect for rules and referees, and full commitment and respect for opponents. There were also nonsignificant effects across gender (inter-group analysis: Pillai&rsquo, s trace = 0.08, p = 0.068, time x gender interaction: Pillai&rsquo, s trace = 0.03, p = 0.497) and after-school sports (inter-group analysis: Pillai&rsquo, s trace = 0.02, p = 0.776, time x after-school interaction: Pillai&rsquo, s trace = 0.01, p = 0.981). In conclusion, sport education is an effective pedagogical model to be taken into consideration by physical education teachers in order to optimally promote the high school student&rsquo, s moral and ethical education via the development of sportsmanship orientations in the context of school physical education.

Introducción: Basado en la Teoría de la Auto-Determinación, el objetivo del estudio fue examinar la relación entre los contenidos de meta y la creencia de la eficacia docente en el profesorado en formación inicial, considerando el rol mediador de la regulación motivacional académica (autónoma y controlada) al inicio y final del master de formación del profesorado. Método: Los participantes fueron 379 profesores/as en formación inicial (180 hombres y 199 mujeres; Medad = 25.30, DT edad = 4.21) quienes completaron medidas de contenidos de meta en la docencia y regulación motivacional académica al inicio del máster en formación del profesorado (toma 1), así como medidas de regulación motivacional y creencia de eficacia docente al final del máster (toma 2). Las relaciones predictivas hipotetizadas fueron examinadas vía análisis de ecuaciones estructurales. Resultados: El modelo de ecuaciones estructurales mostró que los contenidos de meta intrínsecos al inicio del máster de formación del profesorado tuvieron un efecto positivo directo sobre la creencia de la eficacia docente al final del máster, estando dicha relación mediada por la motivación autónoma académica al inicio y al final del máster. En cambio, los contenidos de meta extrínsecos al inicio del máster de formación del profesorado mostraron un efecto directo y negativo sobre la creencia de la eficacia docente al final del máster. Discusión: Los resultados obtenidos subrayan la relevancia de los contenidos de meta en la explicación de la naturaleza dinámica de los procesos motivacionales relacionados con la creencia de eficacia docente durante el programa inicial de formación docente del profesorado en formación inicial.

This research aimed to adapt and psychometrically examine the Multidimensional Perceived Autonomy Support Scale in Physical Education in the Spanish context. The participants were 560 (264 men and 296 women; Mage = 14.49, SDage = 1.05) physical education secondary school students. The results underpinned a 15-item three-factor correlated model, which was invariant across gender and age. The reliability analysis reflected an acceptable level of internal consistency and temporal stability for each factor. The structural equation modeling showed that perceived cognitive, procedural, and organizational autonomy support predicted positively and significantly basic psychological need satisfaction. The Multidimensional Perceived Autonomy Support Scale in Physical Education is a valid and reliable instrument to multidimensionally measure the secondary school students’ perception of autonomy support from physical education teachers in the Spanish context.

Introduction Autonomy, competence, and relatedness need satisfaction has been associated with several health-related outcomes in multiple life domains. However, no studies have analysed the role of these needs in an active commuting to and from school context. Grounded in self-determination theory, this research aimed to adapt the Spanish physical education version (Moreno-Murcia et al., 2008) of the Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale (Vlachopoulos and Michailidou, 2006) to active commuting to and from school and test its psychometric properties among a sample of Spanish children and adolescents. Method A total of 675 students (318 boys and 357 girls; Mage = 13.14, SD = 1.78) participated in this study. Results The confirmatory factor analysis showed better fit indexes for a 12-item three-factor model (i.e., autonomy, competence, and relatedness) which remained invariant across gender and age. The reliability analysis showed acceptable internal consistency and temporal stability for each of the three factors. Structural equation modelling showed that autonomy, competence, and relatedness need satisfaction positively predicted active commuting to and from school. Conclusions The Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction in Active Commuting to and from School Scale is the first valid and reliable instrument to measure the three basic psychological needs satisfaction in active commuting to and from school among Spanish young people.

Background and aims The study explored the mediating role of forms of passion in the relationship between motivational regulations in exercise and exercise addiction (EA). Methods A total of 485 university students (368 males and 117 females; Mage = 20.43, SD = 3.21) completed a questionnaire measuring the frequency and intensity of exercise, motivational regulations in exercise, passion for exercise, and EA. Controlling the effects of age, frequency, and intensity of practice, the relationships between the study variables were examined though a path analysis. Results Both self-determined and non-self-determined forms of motivation showed positive association with EA. The forms of motivation with greatest predictive power for EA were introjected and integrated regulations. Both forms of motivation had positive direct and indirect effects through obsessive passion (OP) on EA; however, integrated regulation also showed negative indirect effects through harmonious passion on EA. Conclusions Both forms of passion and, especially, OP, seem to affect how motivational regulations are associated with EA. These findings clarify the association found in previous studies between self-determined forms of motivation and EA.

Tomando como referencia el modelo pedagógico de Educación Deportiva (ED), esta investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la primera sección de la Physical Education Season Survey al objeto de medir las seis características estructurales de la ED en el contexto español. Los participantes fueron 608 estudiantes de educación secundaria obligatoria y post-obligatoria (323 chicos y 285 chicas; Medad = 14.99, DT = 1.58) quienes completaron una intervención de 12 sesiones en clase de Educación Física (EF) de acuerdo con las directrices propuestas para este modelo basado en la práctica. El análisis factorial confirmatorio mostró un buen ajuste para la estructura unidimensional de 6 ítems, la cual permaneció invariante respecto al género y edad. El análisis de consistencia interna reflejó adecuados valores. Los tres análisis de regresión lineal revelaron que la ED predijo de manera positiva la competencia percibida, el compromiso deportivo y el juego limpio, respectivamente. La Physical Education Season Survey se muestra como una medida válida y fiable para evaluar las seis características nucleares de la ED en el contexto español de la EF. With reference to the Sport Education pedagogical model, this research aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the first section of the Physical Education Season Survey in order to measure the six structural features of Sport Education in the Spanish context. The participants were 608 Post-Compulsory and Compulsory Secondary students (323 boys and 285 girls; Mage = 14.99, SD = 1.58), who completed a 12-session intervention in Physical Education class according to the guidelines proposed for this model-based practice. The confirmatory factor analysis showed a good fit for the 6-ítem and 1-factor structure, which was invariant across gender and age. The internal consistence analysis reflected adequate values. The three lineal regression analyses revealed that sport education predicted positively perceived competence, sport engagement and fair play, respectively. The Physical Education Season Survey is shown to be a valid and reliable measure to assess the six core features of Sport Education in the Spanish Physical Education context.

El objetivo fue analizar la estructura factorial de las diferentes versiones propuestas para la Multidimensional Sportspersonship Orientations Scale (MSOS) en el contexto español de la educación física. Los partici- pantes fueron 652 estudiantes de educación secundaria y bachillerato (353 hombres y 299 mujeres; M edad = 14.98, DT edad = 1.59). El análisis factorial conirmatorio no apoyó psicométricamente ninguna de las versiones plant- eadas por los trabajos previos para la MSOS. Sin embargo, los hallazgos sus- tentaron psicométricamente un modelo de cuatro factores correlacionados y 17 ítems (i.e., respecto por las convenciones sociales, respeto por las reglas, compromiso y respeto por el compañero) para la educación física. Esta es- tructura fue invariante por género. Las correlaciones sustentaron la validez discriminante del instrumento. El análisis de iabilidad relejó valores ade- cuados para cada factor. Como conclusión, se recomienda la utilización de una nueva estructural factorial para la MSOS en el contexto español de la educación física. The objective was to analyse the factor structure of the diferent versions proposed for the Multidimensional Sportspersonship Orientations Scale (MSOS) in the Spanish Physical Education context. he participants were 652 Post-Compulsory and Compulsory Secondary Education stu- dents (353 men y 299 women; M age = 14.98, SD age = 1.59). Conirmatory factor analysis psychometrically supported none of the diferent versions prosed by the previous works for the MSOS. Nevertheless, the indings underpinned a 17-items 4-factor model (i.e., respect for social conventions, respect for rules and teacher, commitment and respect for classmates) for Physical Education. his structure was invariant across gender. he correla- tions supported the instrument’s discriminant validity. Reliability analysis relected suitable values for each factor. In its conclusion, the use of a new factor structure for the MSOS was recommended in the Spanish Physical Education context

Un alto índice de masa corporal y una baja capacidad aeróbica se asocia con un peor autoconcepto. Se ha observado también que personas obesas pero con buena forma física están físicamente sanos, fenómeno conocido como “fat but fit”. El presente estudio pretende: 1) determinar la relación entre cantidad de grasa corporal y principales componentes de la condición física con el autoconcepto en adolescentes; 2) testar si el fenómeno fat but fit se asocia con un mejor autoconcepto. Un total de 69 adolescentes (14.68 ± 1.36 años) participaron en la evaluación de la composición corporal y la condición física (Batería ALPHA-Fitness). La capacidad aeróbica (forma vs. no en forma) e índice de masa corporal (normo-peso vs. sobrepeso-obesidad) fueron categorizadas usando criterios estándar. Cinco dimensiones del autoconcepto fueron evaluadas mediante el Cuestionario de Autoconcepto Forma 5. La grasa total y central se correlacionó negativamente con el autoconcepto físico, mientras que la condición física (fuerza, velocidad-agilidad y capa- cidad aeróbica) se correlacionó positivamente (p < .05 a p < .001). Una elevada masa grasa y poca velocidad-agilidad se correlacionó con un peor au- toconcepto social (p < .05). Los adolescentes con sobrepeso-obesidad pero en forma (fat but fit) mostraron un mejor autoconcepto físico que aquellos con sobrepeso-obesidad/no en forma (p = .006), y similares valores que adolescentes normo-peso en forma o no en forma (ambos p > .3). Los resultados confirman la paradoja fat but fit, el sobrepeso se asocia a un peor autoconcepto físico, pero si se tiene una buena forma física los valores de autoconcepto se igualan a los de los adolescentes con normo-peso.

This study aimed to determine the usefulness of integrating basic psychological needs theory (BPNT) and relational frames theory (RFT) in order to explain the effects of social physique anxiety (SPA) – in the context of exercise – on exercisers’ mental health. A total of 296 recreational cyclists and triathletes (100% males) aged 18 to 60 years old (Mage= 35.65,SD= 9.49) completed a multi-section questionnaire assessing the target variables. Two models of structural equations with multiple mediators were tested using 5000 bootstrap samples. While the BPNT-based model explained 20% of variance in satisfaction with life (SWL) and 25% of variance in mental health (MH), the model that also incorporated RFT explained 43% of variance in both of those variables. Results showed that SPA negatively impacted exercisers’ mental health via two different mechanisms: a) through a decrease in perceived satisfaction of basic psychological needs (β = –.05,p= .045 for SWL; β = –.07,p= .002 for MH); b) through an increase in psychological inflexibility, generated directly by SPA (β = –.24,p< .001 for SWL; β = –.20,p< .001 for MH) and also mediated by basic psychological need thwarting (β = –.09,p< .001 for SWL; β = –.08,p= .002 for MH). Results supported integrating the two theories, elucidating the processes by which a controlling social factor like SPA can affect the potential benefits of exercise.

The objective of this study was to incorporate the integrated regulation assessment into the Academic Motivation Scale within the Spanish initial teacher education context. There were 496 student participants (233 men and 263 women; Mage = 25.70, SD = 4.23) from the Masters in Teaching for Compulsory Secondary Education, Upper Secondary School Education and Professional Education, and Language Teaching. The confirmatory factor analysis showed acceptable fit-indexes for the eight-factor correlated structure and an invariant factor structure across genders. Internal consistency and temporal stability were satisfactory for each of the eight factors. The linear regression analysis indicated that integrated regulation was the strongest predictor of intention to become a teacher. This new instrument may contribute to a deeper understanding of the motivational processes involved in the initial teacher education context. El objetivo de este estudio fue incorporar la medida de la regulación integrada en la Echelle de Motivation en Education en el contexto español de la formación inicial del profesorado. Participaron 496 profesores en formación inicial (233 hombres and 263 mujeres; Medad = 25.70, DT = 4.23) del master en formación del profesorado en educación secundaria y bachillerato, formación profesional y enseñanza de idiomas. El análisis factorial confirmatorio mostró aceptables índices de ajuste para la estructura de 8 factores, la cual permaneció invariante respecto al género. La consistencia interna y la estabilidad temporal fueron satisfactorias para cada uno de los 8 factores. El análisis de regresión lineal indicó que la regulación integrada fue el mayor predictor sobre la intención de convertirse en docente. El nuevo instrumento puede contribuir a una comprensión más profunda de los procesos motivacionales involucrados en la formación inicial del profesorado.

Basado en la teoría de la autodeterminación y en el modelo dual de pasión, el objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la influencia de la percepción de satisfacción y frustración de las necesidades psicológicas básicas en el contexto del ejercicio físico sobre las formas armoniosa (PA) y obsesiva (PO) de la pasión por esta actividad, considerando si dicha relación podría diferir en función del género. Un total de 490 estudiantes universitarios (356 hombres y 114 mujeres) de entre 17 y 44 años (Medad= 20.49; DT= 3.38) que manifestaron realizar ejercicio físico al menos una vez por semana, completaron un cuestionario que recogía las variables de interés. Los resultados del modelo de ecuaciones estructurales mostraron que, en general, la satisfacción y la frustración de las necesidades psicológicas básicas predecían de forma positiva la PO, mientras que tan solo la satisfacción de las necesidades predecía la PA. No obstante, se observaron diferencias en función del género en el efecto que la frustración de las necesidades psicológicas básicas ejercía sobre ambas formas de pasión. En conjunto, la satisfacción y la frustración de las necesidades psicológicas básicas explicaron un 25% y un 44% de la varianza de la PA en hombres y mujeres, respectivamente, situándose dichos porcentajes en el 32% y el 14% en el caso de la PO. Estos resultados sugieren que, al menos en población masculina, las intervenciones destinadas a disminuir la percepción de frustración de las necesidades psicológicas básicas en el contexto del ejercicio podrían contribuir a disminuir una implicación obsesiva en esta conducta.Palabras clave: Teoría de la autodeterminación, modelo dual de pasión, teoría de las necesidades psicológicas básicas, pasión armoniosa, pasión obsesiva. Effects of satisfaction and thwarting of basic psychological needs on the forms of passion for exerciseABSTRACTBased on both self-determination theory and dualistic model of passion, the main purpose of this study was to determine the influence of the satisfaction and thwarting of basic psychological needs perceived in the context of exercise on the development of harmonious (HP) and obsessive (OP) forms of passion for exercise, considering additionally if such relationship could differs across gender. A total of 398 university students (256 men and 114 women), aged between 17 and44 (Mage= 20.49; SD = 3.38) and involved in exercise at least once a week, filled a questionnaire that assessed the variables of interest. The results of structural equation model showed that, in general, both satisfaction and thwarting of basic psychological needs predicted positively OP, whereas only the satisfaction of needs predicted positively HP. Furthermore, results revealed gender differences in the effect of the thwarting of needs on both forms of passion. As a whole, both satisfaction and thwarting of needs explained 25% and 44% of the variance in HP in men and women, respectively, being those percentages 32% and 14% for OP. From a practical point of view, these results suggest that, at least in males, interventions aimed at decreasing experiences of the thwarting of needs in the exercise context could contribute to diminish an obsessive commitment to this behaviour.Keywords: Self-determination theory; dualistic model of passion; basic psychological needs theory; harmonious passion; obsessive passion.
