Abstract:
Child maltreatment poses serious consequences, while sports participation among adolescents offers a potential avenue for mitigating such consequences. This study, based on self-determination theory (SDT), examines the associations among child maltreatment, sports motivation (intrinsic and extrinsic), and satisfaction or frustration of basic psychological needs (BPNs). This study also investigated the mediating role of sports motivation in the relationship between child maltreatment and psychological adaptation. Adolescents engaged in sports were derived from the first wave of a large two-wave study (wave 1: n = 1403; wave 2: n = 618) using data on child maltreatment, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and satisfaction and frustration of within the sports context. Subsequently, data on psychological adaptation, including self-esteem and satisfaction with life, were collected during the second wave. Path analyses revealed satisfaction and frustration of BPNs as significant mediators in the relationship between child maltreatment and sports motivation. In addition, intrinsic motivation mediated the relationship between child maltreatment and psychological adaptation after 18 months. Specifically, the results indicated that enhancing intrinsic motivation in adolescents with a history of child maltreatment by improving satisfaction of BPNs could be an innovative intervention target.
摘要:
虐待儿童造成严重后果,而青少年的体育参与为减轻这种后果提供了一个潜在的途径。这项研究,基于自决理论(SDT),检查虐待儿童之间的关联,运动动机(内在和外在的),以及对基本心理需求(BPN)的满足或挫败。本研究还探讨了运动动机在儿童虐待与心理适应关系中的中介作用。从事体育运动的青少年来自大型两波研究的第一波(第1波:n=1403;第2波:n=618),使用有关虐待儿童的数据,内在和外在动机,以及体育背景下的满足感和挫折感。随后,关于心理适应的数据,包括自尊和对生活的满意度,是在第二波期间收集的。路径分析显示,BPN的满意度和挫败感是虐待儿童与运动动机之间关系的重要媒介。此外,内在动机介导了18个月后儿童虐待与心理适应之间的关系。具体来说,结果表明,通过提高BPN满意度来增强有儿童虐待史的青少年的内在动机可能是一个创新的干预目标.
