FERNANDES, Helder; RAPOSO, José Vasconcelos; MOREIRA, Miguel e COSTA, Henrique. Influence of motivational orientation in sports behaviour / attitude in Physical Education classes. Motri. [online]. 2007, vol.3, n.3, pp.16-23. ISSN 1646-107X.
The purposes of the present study were twofold: (i) to examine the levels of sportsmanship and goal orientations in Physical Education students and (ii) to compare those same levels according to different sexes, ages and sports involvement. A sample of 422 students (221 male and 201 female) with a mean age of 13.73 ± 2.46 years (ages comprised between 9 and 21 years old), completed two questionnaires: a) the Questionnaire of Sports Values 7 and b) a Portuguese version of the Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire 5. In general, the students stated to display behaviors in sports settings, according to the basic principles of sportsmanship and fair play. The independent variable that most contributed to a significant demarcation in Physical Education was the students age, whilst those with ages between 13 and 15 years stating to not display sportsmanship behaviours and to posses high levels of ego orientation. Overall, we recommend that the sports socialization agents should endorse the sportsmanships principles deference, at their respective levels and in function of their intervention possibilities 4.
