Ellen Skinner's agent-means-ends framework and her competence system model can be used to analyze control-related motivation constructs that sport and exercise psychology has studied. Analysis of attribution has declined in sports psychology research in favor of achievement goal orientation. People's beliefs in their efficacy influence their courses of action, and how much effort they will apply.
