Title: | Student-Athletes' Motivation and Identity: Variation Among Brazilian and Portuguese University Student-Athletes | Authors: | Quinaud, Ricardo T. Fernandes, Ana Carvalho, Humberto M. Gonçalves, C. E. |
Keywords: | Sports; Multilevel regression and poststratification; University; Questionnaires; Psychometric; Motivation; Identity | Issue Date: | 6-Dec-2019 | Publisher: | SAGE | Serial title, monograph or event: | Psychological Reports | Volume: | 123 | Issue: | 5 | Abstract: | This study examined the variation of student-athletes’ identity and motivation across Portuguese and Brazilian universities, accounting for variation in gender, studentathletes’ training hours per week, sports level, student-athletes status within each university, and university type. We initially established the validity of the Baller Identity Measurement Scale questionnaire and the Student-Athletes’ Motivation toward Sports and Academics Questionnaire-based observations among 441 Brazilian and Portuguese student-athletes. Then, the validated version of the questionnaires was applied to a total sample of 765 student-athletes from Brazil (n¼ 568) and Portugal (n ¼ 197). We further considered individual (hours of training and student-athlete status) and contextual characteristics (university type and country). Multilevel regression and poststratification were used to estimate each studentathlete identity and motivation as a function of his or her individual and contextual characteristics. Overall, the predictions showed that cultural (country), academic (type of university), and athletic (training hours) context likely have a substantial influence on student-athletes’ identity and motivation. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/97352 | ISSN: | 0033-2941 1558-691X |
