Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of perceived motivational climate with personal achievement goals in competitive youth swimmers. A total of 119 competitive swimmers (mean age = 14.76) participated in this study. Participants completed the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire-2 and the Achievement Goal Questionnaire-S. Overall, swimmers perceived the motivational climate on their team to be more mastery-oriented than performance-oriented. Regression analyses indicated that a mastery-oriented motivational climate was a positive predictor of mastery-approach goals and a negative predictor of mastery-avoidance goals. Perception of a performance-oriented motivational climate was a positive predictor of performance-approach goals. In addition, mastery-approach goals were positively related to satisfaction and persistence and negatively related to practice avoidance while mastery avoidance goals were negatively related to satisfaction.
