An athlete motivated by avoiding punishment from a coach is showing:
Which type of motivation is most likely to support long-term adherence to sport and continued athlete development?
Which basic psychological need of self-determination theory is satisfied when a gymnast is given the freedom to choose their own music and choreography for a floor routine?
Self-determination theory places motivation on a continuum from amotivation to controlled (extrinsic) motivation to autonomous (intrinsic) motivation. In a study, 120 participants in a community sports programme were classified by their dominant type of motivation. The figure shows the percentage still active after 6 months, with error bars.
Figure: Continued participation after 6 months by dominant type of motivation (n = 120).
(a) Using the figure, the percentage of the autonomously motivated group still active after 6 months.
(b) Using the figure, the relationship between the type of motivation and continued participation.
(c) between amotivation and autonomous (intrinsic) motivation.
(d) how a coach could use the three basic psychological needs to increase an athlete's intrinsic motivation.

Amotivation
Controlled motivation
Autonomous motivation
Intrinsic motivation
