BERLANGA, Luis A.; PALOMINO DEVIA, Constanza; RUIZ-JUAN, Francisco and GONZALEZ-JURADO, Jose Antonio. Prediction Level of Motivation through Physical and Sport Activities according to Goal Orientation, Success Perceived and Satisfaction Rate. A Cross-Cultural Analysis. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2018, vol.17, n.1, pp.44-57. ISSN 1657-9267. https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.upsy17-1.gpma.
The objective of this study was to analyse at which level it is possible to predict motivation type through physical and sport activities according to goal orientation, success perceived and satisfaction rate, in a transcultural analysis through three Latin countries: Spain, Mexico and Costa Rica. 2168 students (between 11-16 years-old) completed 4 evaluation instruments: Sport Motivation Scale (SMS), Task and Ego Orientation Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ), Satisfaction Instrument (SSI) y Beliefs About the Causes of Sport Success Questionnaire (BACS). Results showed that high values in task orientation, fun, and effort could significantly predict intrinsic motivation in the three countries of our research.
