- Examining motivational correlates of mental toughness in Spanish athletes O. Álvarez B. Walker I. Castillo Psicología mental toughness goal orientations practice intention Coach interpersonal styles Based on Self Determination and Achievement Goal theories, in this study we tested the relationship between perceptions of coaches’ interpersonal styles, athlete’s goal orientations, mental toughness (MT) and future intention of sport practice, as well as self-perception of achievement in sport in a sample of 155 athletes (82 men and 73 women) with a mean age of 22.64 + 3.91 years, from 13 teams who completed a questionnaire with the variables of interest for the study. Results revealed that athlete’s perceptions of autonomy supportive interpersonal style positively predicted task orientation, while athlete’s perceptions of controlling interpersonal style positively predicted ego orientation. Additionally, task orientation and self-perception of achievement in sport positively predicted MT, which in turn predicted future intention of sport practice. Results emphasize the importance of having coaches promoting autonomy supportive atmospheres to facilitate the development of MT in athletes. 2018 artículo científico 1578-8423 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=227077145015 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2270 Cuadernos de Psicología del Deporte application/pdf Universidad de Murcia Cuadernos de Psicología del Deporte (España) Num.1 Vol.18
