Determinants of coach motivation and autonomy supportive coaching behaviours. (2013, background): “Research has shown that although some athletes are moved by external factors like pressure from their coach, reward systems, evaluations, and recognition, others are moved by curiosity and interest, a desire for growth and improvement, and a desire to master new skills (Vallerand, 2007).”
Motivational Climate and Students’ Emotional Experiences and Effort in Physical Education (2010, background): “As such, Vallerand (1997, 2007) and Vallerand and Rousseau (2001) suggested that it would be influenced by the motivational regulations during participation, which, in turn, are formed by the motivational climate, through the effect of basic psychological needs.”
Relationships among perceived motivational climate, motivational regulations, enjoyment, and PA participation among Finnish physical education students (2017, background): “…PE and evidence has consistently showed that self-determined motivation is associated with positive cognitive (e.g., concentration), affective (e.g., enjoyment) and behavioural (e.g., effort, PA) responses during lesson participation as compared to controlled motivation (see Vallerand, 1997, 2007).”
Tourism and health: using positive psychology principles to maximise participants’ wellbeing outcomes – a design concept for charity challenge tourism (2015, background): “Individuals who are driven by the intrinsic motivation to accomplish something engage in an activity for its own pleasure and satisfaction while attempting to create something or surpass oneself (i.e. be challenged) (Vallerand, 2007).”
Breaking through the loss cycle of burnout: The role of motivation (2011, background): “These findings are in line with previous research indicating that intrinsically motivated persons have a more active coping style (Ryan & Connell, 1989; Vallerand, 2007).”
The mediating role of positive and negative affect in the situational motivation-performance relationship (2013, background): “The Hierarchical Model of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation (HMIEM; Vallerand 1997, 2007) posits that motivation at a given level (e.g., situational motivation) results from a top-down effect from motivation at a higher level (in this case, global motivation).”
Influence of coaches' autonomy support on athletes' motivation and sport performance: A test of the hierarchical model of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. (2010, background): “However, few studies in this domain have examined the links between motivational variables and sport performance (Vallerand, 2007a; Vallerand & Rousseau, 2001) even if performance represents one of the key outcomes in sport (Gould, Dieffenbach, & Moffett, 2002).”
What motivates the motivators? An examination of sports coaches (2012, background): “…coach behavior has attracted extensive interest, research into coach motivation has been scarce, which is somewhat surprising given the strong empirical link between coach behavior, athlete motivation and associated outcomes (e.g. performance, affect) (Mageau and Vallerand 2003; Vallerand 2007).”
Attitudes toward and motivation for PE. Who collects the benefits of the subject? (2015, background): “The degree to which an individual is autonomously motivated (see Vallerand 2007) represents an indication of satisfaction of needs and thus developmental health, and it has consequences for learning, performance, personal experience and well-being (Vallerand 1997; Vallerand and Perreault 1999).”
