Grounded in achievement goal theory and self-determination theory, the aim of this study was to analyze the motivational determinants of precompetitive anxiety in sport context, considering the horizontal motivational sequence: adaptive social factors (task involving climate, autonomy support style), competence need, types of motivation (autonomous motivation, controlled motivation, amotivation), and consequences (precompetitive anxiety and self-confidence). As well as analyzing the mediating role of the need for competition and motivational regulations on social factors and consequences. The sample consisted of 217 athletes’ engagement in elite sport of both sexes, who answered a series of questionnaires to measure study variables to develop an analysis of structural equations model. The results showed that both, task involving climate and autonomy support, were associated with competence need. This last was associated with autonomous motivation in a positive way, and controlled motivation and amotivation in a negative way. Then, autonomous motivation was positively associated with self-confidence, while amotivation was positively related to somatic and cognitive anxiety before a competition. Furthermore, there was a total mediation of competence need and autonomous motivation between task climate and self-confidence. In conclusion, these social factors favor self-confidence, and besides these climates disfavor anxiety before a sport competition.

优秀运动中的适应性社会因素和竞争前焦虑

以成就目标理论和自我决定理论为基础，本研究旨在分析体育情境下竞争前焦虑的动机决定因素，并考虑横向动机顺序：适应性社会因素（涉及气候的任务，自主支持方式），能力需求，动机类型（自主动机，受控动机，动机）和后果（竞争前的焦虑和自信）。以及分析竞争需求的中介作用以及有关社会因素和后果的激励性规定。该样本由217名参与男女精英运动的运动员组成，他们回答了一系列调查表以测量研究变量，以发展结构方程模型的分析。结果表明，两者 涉及气候和自治支持的任务与能力需求相关。最后一个以积极的方式与自主动机相关联，以负面的方式与受控的动机与积极性相关联。然后，自主动机与自信心成正相关，而动机与比赛前的躯体和认知焦虑成正相关。此外，在任务氛围和自信心之间完全协调了能力需求和自主动机。总之，这些社会因素有利于自信，此外，这些气候不利于运动比赛前的焦虑。自主动机与自信心呈正相关，而动机与比赛前的躯体和认知焦虑呈正相关。此外，在任务氛围和自信心之间完全协调了能力需求和自主动机。总之，这些社会因素有利于自信，此外，这些气候不利于运动比赛前的焦虑。自主动机与自信心呈正相关，而动机与比赛前的躯体和认知焦虑呈正相关。此外，在任务氛围和自信心之间完全协调了能力需求和自主动机。总之，这些社会因素有利于自信，此外，这些气候不利于运动比赛前的焦虑。
