Abstract

The main purpose of the present research was to compare sport motivation factors between boys and girls in different sports and levels of sports activity at Tehran University. This is a descriptive study and the statistical population consisted of all the students in Tehran University among whom 241 filled in the sport motivation scale. The sport motivation scale includes 6 motivation subscales based on self-determination theory. Since statistical data were parametric, İndependent T-test and One Way ANOVA were applied. The research results revealed that there is no significant difference between the groups of boys and girls associated with their type of sports motivation. The comparison of team and individual sports revealed that there is a significant difference related to extrinsic motivation subscale and Integrated Regulation between these two groups. The comparison of motivational factors of elementary, semi-professional, and professional athletes revealed significant differences in all the subscales except amotivation. Taking into account the fact that students constitute a great bulk of society, paying attention to the type of their sports motivation is of high significance and considerable measures have to be taken for them to endure their activities.
