- Abstract
This cross-sectional study investigated the relations between the perceived coach-athlete relationship (CAR) quality and the motivational regulations. Participants were 301 student-athletes, aged between 14 and 17 years old, participating in the state phase of the School Games. The Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire (CART-Q) and the Sport Motivation Scale II (SMS-II) were used as instruments. For data analysis, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Spearman's correlation and the Structural Equation Analysis (p <0.05) were applied. The CAR quality (Closeness, Commitment and Complementarity) was significantly and negatively associated with boys' amotivation, explaining 16% of its variance, in addition, the Commitment showed a significant association with the Integrated Regulation (3%) and Complementarity was associated with Intrinsic Regulation (9%). As for girls, CAR dimensions explained 16% of the variance of the Identified Regulation, 10% Integrated Regulation and 9% Intrinsic Regulation. The CAR quality seems to be a protective factor against amotivation in males and a potential for self-determined motivation in females.
