| Sumario: |
The present study had three goals: a) to explore the influence of social and achievement goals (approach-avoidance), individually and together, on physical education students’ effort and enjoyment, b) to examine the students’ motivational profiles from a holistic framework, and c) to study existing profiles differences in students’ self-informed effort and enjoyment. 479 secondary education students participated in the study (M = 14.36, SD = 1.58). Results showed that mastery-approach and friendship-avoidance goals were the only positive predictors of effort, while mastery-approach and friendship-approach goals were the only positive predictors of enjoyment. Three clusters emerged from the sample: (a) low social goals, (b) high social and achievement goals, and (c) high social goals and medium-low achievement goals. The last two clusters were more adaptive. Males showed higher enjoyment scores than females. |
