“…The researchers also discouraged the establishment of an ego-involving climate in which success was defined in an other-referenced manner as outperforming and defeating others. A masteryinvolving climate has been linked to lower anxiety and greater enjoyment in many studies in both educational and sport settings, and an ego-involving climate to higher levels of performance anxiety (Ames, 1992;Papaioannou & Kouli, 1999;Walling, Duda, & Chi, 1993;Yoo, 2003;Vazou, Ntoumanis, & Duda, 2006).…”

Coaches and parents play a major role in determining the consequences of sport participation in young athletes. This study focuses on the assessment of a systemic, empirically inspired intervention directed at coaches and parents. Parallel workshops derived in part from achievement goal theory were presented to the coaches and parents of 9 to 15 year old boys and girls participating in community-based basketball programs, and their effects were compared with a matched control condition. Multilevel analyses revealed significant Time x Condition interactions on all three subscales of the Sport Anxiety Scale-2 (SAS-2) and on a total anxiety score. Athletes in the intervention condition decreased in cognitive and somatic anxiety scores on the SAS-2, whereas athletes in the control condition exhibited increases in cognitive and somatic anxiety. Results suggest the potential efficacy of brief, economical interventions in enhancing the psychosocial impact of the youth sport environment.

“…Furthermore, other researchers (e.g., Moran & Weiss, 2006;Vazou et al, 2006) have found age, gender, and age-by-gender differences in regard to peer influences and peer leadership characteristics in the youth sport domain. Thus, to avoid the possibility of gender and/or age confounds, the sample of participants for the current study was limited to female athletes at a particular developmental timepoint.…”

“…This research began with the development and psychometric assessment of the Peer Motivational Climate Scale (PeerMCYSQ) Vazou, Ntoumanis, & Duda, 2005). In a subsequent study, Vazou and associates (Vazou, Ntoumanis, & Duda, 2006) administered a series of self-report questionnaires to a large sample of young athletes (12 to 17 years of age) in order to assess their perceptions of the motivational climate as created or initiated by both their coaches and their peers and to measure the athletes' own levels of enjoyment, trait anxiety, sport commitment, and physical self-esteem. Hierarchical regression analyses procedures revealed, as expected, that the type of motivational climate created by coaches exerted a significant effect on their athletes' psychosocial health and well-being.…”

A lthough many research studies have been conducted to show that coaches' behaviors and leadership styles affect their athletes' psychosocial well-being, less research has been conducted to assess the effects of peers' leadership styles and behaviors. Thus, the purpose of this study was to test whether young athletes' perceptions of their peer leader's behavior would be related to the athletes' own levels of competitive trait anxiety and achievement goal orientation. Self-report questionnaires were administered to 208 elite female adolescent (15 to 16 years old) soccer athletes who were current participants in a regional Olympic Development Program in the USA. Multivariate canonical correlational analyses revealed that athletes who perceived that their peer leaders exhibited a democratic leadership style and high levels of social support, positive feedback, and instructional behavior scored high in mastery goal orientation and moderately high in performance goal orientation. In contrast, athletes who perceived that their peer leaders exhibited an autocratic leadership style scored higher in competitive trait anxiety. These results are consistent with both achievement goal theory and social cognitive anxiety theory and also provide support for the idea that the behaviors and leadership styles exhibited by sport peer leaders do affect their teammates' levels of anxiety and achievement goal orientation.

“…Asimismo, pensamos que otra limitación que posee nuestro trabajo y que ya ha sido postulada por otros autores (Vazou et al, 2006), es la valoración de los climas motivacionales reales, que transmiten padres, compañeros y entrenador, no la percepción de los deportistas. Consideramos que esta puede ser una prospectiva de futuro interesante, aunque difícil de llevar a cabo por la falta de instrumentos que permitan valorar el clima motivacional a partir de la observación.…”

La muestra estaba formada por 708 practicantes de fútbol, fútbol-sala, baloncesto, balonmano y voleibol, tanto de categoría femenina como masculina y con edades comprendidas entre los 11 y 16 años. Los resultados mostraron que el compromiso de los deportistas en la práctica deportiva se encuentra vinculado de forma positiva con la percepción de los jugadores de un clima tarea por parte el entrenador, padres y compañeros. Asimismo, podemos destacar cómo el comportamiento inadecuado de padres y entrenador, deteriora el compromiso y puede provocar el abandono deportivo. Como conclusión, sería importante destacar que la formación tanto de padres como de entrenadores puede suponer una manera de explicar la importancia de establecer un clima tarea durante la práctica deportiva y así favorecer el compromiso en el deporte de los jugadores.
