“…Controlling parents will also interact in a way which emphasises interpersonal control. For example, mothers' constraining verbal expressions and pressuring language have been negatively related to children's intrinsic motivation (Deci, Driver, Hotchkiss, Robbins, & McDougal-Wilson, 1993). Similar findings have also been reported in the educational setting in which controlling teachers also tend to stress personal control, prevent children from expressing opinions which differ from their own, and use controlling vocalisations (Assor, Kaplan, Kanat-Maymon, & Roth, 2005;Reeve & Jang 2006).…”

The aim of this paper is to present a preliminary taxonomy of six controlling strategies, primarily based on the parental and educational literatures, which we believe are employed by coaches in sport contexts. Research in the sport and physical education literature has primarily focused on coaches' autonomy-supportive behaviours. Surprisingly, there has been very little research on the use of controlling strategies. A brief overview of the research which delineates each proposed strategy is presented, as are examples of the potential manifestation of the behaviours associated with each strategy in the context of sports coaching. In line with selfdetermination theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985;Ryan & Deci, 2002), we propose that coach behaviours employed to pressure or control athletes have the potential to thwart athletes' feelings of autonomy, competence, and relatedness, which, in turn, undermine athletes' selfdetermined motivation and contribute to the development of controlled motives. When athletes feel pressured to behave in a certain way, a variety of negative consequences are expected to ensue which are to the detriment of the athletes' well-being. The purpose of this paper is to raise awareness and interest in the darker side of sport participation and to offer suggestions for future research in this area.

“…Resultados similares foram encontrados por Chircov e Ryan (2001), que associam o suporte autônomo dos pais com a motivação intrínseca de crianças. Este achado também pode ser confirmado pelos resultados observados por Deci et al (1993), segundo os quais mães controladoras tendem a diminuir a motivação intrínseca dos filhos. Estes achados demonstram a importância, para a autonomia, de adequado suporte, controle e estrutura, componentes presentes quando os pais oferecem suporte emocional para que os filhos sejam motivados intrinsicamente nas tarefas (GROLNICK, 2003).…”

RESUMOO presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a relação entre o estilo parental, a motivação e a satisfação atlética de jogadores de beisebol da categoria juvenil. Oitenta e oito atletas (16,20 anos ±1,18) participantes do campeonato brasileiro da categoria juvenil responderam ao questionário SMS para avaliar a motivação atlética, EMBU-p para os estilos parentais e QSA para a satisfação atlética. Na análise dos dados utilizou-se o teste de Kolmogorov-Smirnov para os dados descritivos, U Mann-Whitney para a comparação de grupos, Spearman para a correlação das variáveis e um modelo de regressão múltipla, adotando p<0,05. Verificou-se que atletas de beisebol são mais intrinsecamente motivados, têm estilos parentais de suporte emocional e estão satisfeitos atleticamente, havendo correlações entre estas três variáveis. Conclui-se que atletas com estilos parentais de suporte emocional são autodeterminados e satisfeitos com seu esporte.Palavras-chave: Beisebol. Motivação. Pais.

“…Children whose mothers interacted with them in a more controlling manner had performed just as well as other children when with their mothers, but, when completing tasks on their own, they were less accurate in problem solving, and wrote less creative poems. Deci, Driver, Hotchkiss, Robbins, and Wilson (1993) looked at maternal autonomy support and control with five-to seven-year-olds. They recorded mothers' vocalizations during an interactive-play period, and had raters code the interactions for autonomy supportive and controlling contents.…”

Self‐determination theory (SDT) maintains that the adequate support and satisfaction of individuals' psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness promotes the gradual unfolding of individuals' integrative tendencies, as manifested through intrinsic motivation, internalization, identity development, and integrative emotion regulation. At the same time, the thwarting of these same psychological needs and the resultant need frustration is presumed to evoke or amplify a variety of psychopathologies, many of which involve autonomy disturbances. We begin by defining what autonomy involves and how socializing agents, particularly parents, can provide a nurturing (i.e., need‐supportive) environment, and we review research within the SDT literature that has shed light on various integrative tendencies and how caregivers facilitate them. In the second part of this chapter, we detail how many forms of psychopathology involve autonomy disturbances and are associated with a history of psychological need thwarting. We especially focus on internally controlling regulation in internalizing disorders; impairments of internalization in conduct disorders and antisocial behavior; and fragmented self‐functioning in borderline and dissociative disorders. The role of autonomy support as an ameliorative factor in treatment settings is then discussed among other translational issues. Finally we highlight some implications of recognizing the important role of basic psychological needs for both growth‐related and pathology‐related processes.
