  • Title: The role of cognitive appraisal and friendship provisions in adolescents' affect and motivation toward activity in physical education.
    Author: Duncan SC.
    Journal: Res Q Exerc Sport; 1993 Sep; 64(3):314-23. PubMed ID: 8235053.
    Abstract:
    This study investigated the mediational role of affect in the influence of perceived success, causal attributions, and friendship provisions on choice and future expectancies for success and enjoyment, using a multi-sample structural equation modeling approach. Subjects were 422 seventh- and eighth-grade students participating in physical education classes. Higher levels of perceived success, personally controllable attributions, companionship, and esteem support were found to positively influence levels of affect experienced, which in turn enhanced future expectancies for success and enjoyment in physical education and choices to participate in physical activity outside of school. Furthermore, participation experience outside of school influenced adolescents' perceptions within the physical education setting and their consequent affect and motivation.
