Influence of variability in motivation and affect on elite athlete burnout susceptibility

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted on forty-four elite swimmers to examine shifts along the self-determined motivation continuum, as well as swings in negative and positive affect, to predict susceptibility to athlete burnout. Results indicated that shifts in the quality of motivation were reliable predictors of all burnout dimensions and the results of regression analyses showed that swimmers experiencing increased variability in negative affect were more at risk for burnout.

Validity, reliability, and invariance of the situational motivation scale (SIMS) across diverse physical activity contexts

Article Abstract:

The Situational Motivation Scale (SIMS) items in various physical activity contexts are assessed. The study support reliability and constructs validity via the simplex pattern of association as well as provide evidence for the factorial validity and partial multigroup invariance of SIMS.
