ABSTRACT This study explored the motivational experiences of nine successful elite performers in ballet, music, and swimming at Norwegian talent development (TD) schools. Semistructured interviews were conducted. Thematic analysis revealed that the performers navigated within and between several contextual layers, characterized by egalitarian values, high-performance deliberate practice, and controlling conditions. These TD learning conditions provided multifaceted motivational experiences that affected performers’ motivational regulation, ranging from predominantly self-determined, via multifaceted, to predominantly controlled. The types of motivational regulation mattered, as performers regulated by self-determined motivation engaged in their performance development in a more joyful, robust, and healthy way (i.e., self-realization, flow, self-esteem, and vitality), showing less dependence on their given TD learning conditions. In contrast, performers regulated by controlled motivation reported higher vulnerability, and in turn, more ill-being (i.e., low self-esteem, perfectionism, obsessiveness, anxiety, negative affect, and exhaustion).

蓬勃发展，奋斗，还是只是生存？挪威音乐、芭蕾和体育精英表演者的 TD 学习条件、激励过程和幸福感

摘要 本研究探讨了挪威人才发展 ​​(TD) 学校芭蕾舞、音乐和游泳方面的 9 名成功精英表演者的激励经历。进行了半结构化访谈。主题分析表明，表演者在几个上下文层内和之间导航，以平等主义价值观、高性能刻意练习和控制条件为特征。这些 TD 学习条件提供了多方面的动机体验，影响了表演者的动机调节，从主要是自我决定的，通过多方面的，到主要是受控的。动机调节的类型很重要，因为受自我决定动机调节的表演者以更快乐、更健壮和更健康的方式参与他们的表演发展（即，自我实现、流动、自尊和活力），对他们给定的 TD 学习条件的依赖程度较低。相比之下，受控制动机调节的表演者报告更高的脆弱性，反过来，更多的不适（即自卑、完美主义、强迫症、焦虑、负面影响和疲惫）。
