Differences in the structure of motivation for participation in sport activities among sport students in three countries
The main aims of this study were to establish and to compare the latent structure of the types of sports students’ motives, separately for students of each country. We also considered sex differences in the motivation to participate in sport activities for all the dimensions at those sports students. On a sample of 390 sports students from Slovenia, Croatia and Germany we studied what motivates an interest in being sports active. The students completed the Participation Motivation Questionnaire (PMQ ; Gill et al., 1983), a 30- item list of possible reasons students have to participate in sport. We found that the latent structure of the types of sports students’ motives varied from three (Cologne) to six (Ljubljana) dimensions. We also found significant sex differences in motivation to participate in sport activities for all sports students from the three different countries, but only in two dimensions: Relaxation and meeting friends (higher results for female students from Zagreb) and Excitement (higher results for male students from Ljubljana).
