MOTIVES OF SPORT IN ADOLESCENTS DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF SELF-REGULATION OF SPORTS ACTIVITY

Abstract

The article shows four typological profiles of sports self-regulation in junior athletes obtained empirically: «Autonomous sports self-regulation», «High sports self-regulation», «Low sports self-regulation» and «Dependent sports self-regulation». Depending on the sport and type of sport self-regulation, adolescents' motives for sport manifest themselves in different ways. In «Dependent sport self-regulation» in individual sports, the emotional motive is high, while in team sports it is the lowest; in «High sport self-regulation» and «Autonomous sport self-regulation», the indicators of the emotional motive in team sports athletes are higher than in individual sports. The gloristic motive of sports is most represented in adolescents of individual sports with «Dependent sports self-regulation» and team sports with «High sports self-regulation». The emotional satisfaction motive is the least represented in individual sports athletes with «Autonomous sports self-regulation» (while in team sports it is expressed in the highest degree) and in representatives of «Low sports self-regulation», who also have the lowest level of the gloristic motive. The motive of social self-affirmation is represented to the highest degree in sportsmen with «Dependent sports self-regulation» within team sports. The socio-emotional, socio-moral motive for team sports with «Low sports self-regulation» is expressed the weakest. At the «Low level of sports self-regulation» the motive of achievement of success, the motive of preparation for professional activity and the social and cognitive motive are expressed the weakest. The recreational motive of representatives of individual sports is expressed the most in the sample of adolescents with «Low sports self-regulation» and «Autonomous sports selfregulation », and with «Dependent sports self-regulation» in individual sports this motive is expressed the weakest.
