Abstract
Drawing from self-determination theory (SDT) and a database of 1,320 correlations across 131 independent samples ( N = 38,844), we conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of coach autonomy support in sport and exercise settings. Results showed autonomy support was strongly positively associated with athlete well-being and negatively associated with distress. Consistent with SDT, meta-analyzed correlations were strongest for autonomous forms of athlete motivation ( ρ = .39) and weaker for controlled forms of motivation (introjected regulation ρ = .16, external regulation ρ = − .01), and negative with amotivation ( ρ = − .19). We found strong positive associations between autonomy support and athlete basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness and very strong associations between autonomy support and other climate or behavioral supports for athlete basic psychological needs: competence support; relatedness support; structure; involvement; and task- involving climates. E ff ects were not moderated by culture, with collectivist and individualist cultures generally yielding e ff ects in the strong range ( ρ ≥ .35), providing support for the assumption within SDT of universal bene fi ts of autonomy support. E ff ects were also not moderated across types of sport. We discuss implications of the review and suggest coach autonomy support is consistent with environments supporting autonomous motivation, basic psychological needs, and well-being. intrinsic motivation), less related to external regulation, and negatively associated with amotivation. support will exhibit main e ff ect associations consistent with SDT propositions: positive with basic needs, well-being, and negatively with ill-being and need frustration. We expect that autonomy support will predict all three basic needs — not just autonomy — because self-governed behaviors made possible by autonomy support allow people to seek out and fi nd ful fi lment across all three needs, including competence and relatedness (Bartholomew al., Ryan &
期刊介绍:
International Review of Sport and Exercise Psychology is the first scholarly, peer-reviewed journal that publishes critical reviews of research literature in sport and exercise psychology. Typically, these reviews evaluate relevant conceptual and methodological issues in the field and provide a critique of the strengths and weaknesses of empirical studies that address common themes or hypotheses. The reviews present summaries of, and conclusions about, the current state of knowledge concerning topics of interest, as well as assessments of relevant unresolved issues and future trends. Reviews of research literature on theories, topics and issues that are at the interface with mainstream psychology are especially welcome.
