Using a person-centered approach, the aim of this study was to examine how student-athletes’ motives for multiple-goal pursuit relate to indices of well- and ill-being. Student-athletes (N = 362) from British universities identified the most important sporting and academic goals that they were pursuing over the academic year. The participants rated their extrinsic, introjected, identified, and intrinsic goal motives for each goal and completed measures of well- and ill-being. Latent profile analysis revealed six distinct profiles of goal motives, with variations in both the strength of motives and the motivational quality. Follow-up analyses revealed between-profile differences for well- and ill-being; students with more optimal goal motive profiles reported higher and lower well- and ill-being, respectively, than those with less optimal goal motives. To experience well-being benefits when pursuing multiple goals, student-athletes should strive for their academic and sporting goals with high autonomous and low controlled goal motives.

本研究的目的是采用以人为本的方法，研究学生运动员追求多目标的动机与幸福指数和不幸福指数之间的关系。来自英国大学的学生运动员（N  = 362）确定了他们在本学年追求的最重要的体育和学术目标。参与者对每个目标的外在、内射、识别和内在目标动机进行了评级，并完成了幸福感和不适感的测量。潜在概况分析揭示了六种不同的目标动机概况，动机强度和动机质量各不相同。后续分析揭示了幸福感和不适感方面的差异；与具有较不理想目标动机的学生相比，具有较理想目标动机的学生分别报告了较高和较低的幸福感和不适感。为了在追求多个目标时体验到幸福感，学生运动员应该以高度自主和低控制的目标动机来努力实现他们的学术和体育目标。
