Abstract
ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to examine basic need satisfaction and self-determined motivation of adult golf league participants in Canada. The sample of older adults (426; Mage = 62.08 years) was predominantly male (61.1%, n = 256) and White (95.7%, n = 399), with an income of $125,000 or higher (22.9%, n = 88). A MANOVA revealed significant differences in basic need satisfaction based on the sex, years in golf league and skill level of participants. Hierarchical regression analyses found that basic need satisfaction significantly explained (14.7%) of the variance in autonomous regulation after controlling for years in the league and handicap index. This model did not significantly explain variance in controlled regulation. Conclusions largely supported underpinnings of self-determination theory and also offer unique contributions to adult sport leisure providers.
