Abstract
The primary purpose of this study was to exploring instruments properties of two achievement goal orientation questionnaires and to determine if the subscales are measuring related concepts. A secondary purpose was to examine motivational climate among Ultimate Frisbee (UF) players according to different divisions.
Data was collected during the European Beach Ultimate Championship (EBUC) 2019. A total of 484 athletes (34.7±9.7 years of age), from 19 countries, were asked to complete a background form, the Perception of Success Questionnaire (POSQ) and the Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ). Participants belonged to 8 competitive divisions: mixed (n=123), grand master men’s (n=61), master mixed (n=59), master men’s (n=57), great grand master men’s (n=52), master women’s (n=51), men’s (n=50) and women’s (n=31).
The POSQ and TEOSQ demonstrated a reasonable internal consistency. The inter-item reliability coefficients ranged from 0.81 to 0.90, and 0.80 to 0.83, respectively. Correlation between the subscales of the respective instruments were small (r=0.18). Findings indicated that the TEOSQ did not showed an adequate fit to his hypothesized factor structure, while the POSQ showed a good fit of the data to the hypothesized factor structure. Multivariate analysis of variance demonstrated that there was a significant main effect of UF division on the POSQ scores. High task orientations of UF athletes defines success in self-referenced terms, such as through mastering tasks or improving one’s own personal skills. Although the own nature of UF highlights a culture focused on self-assessment and communication, a variety of environmental and social dynamics could be manipulated by coaches.
