- Passion for sport as a mediator between the basic psychological needs and life satisfaction of athletes with disabilitiesPublication . Rodrigues, Filipe; Vitorino, Anabela; Cid, Luis; Bento, Teresa; Jacinto, Miguel; Antunes, Raul; Teixeira, Diogo; Monteiro, DiogoThe present study examined the potential impact of basic psychological needs and passion for the practiced sport on the life satisfaction of athletes with disabilities. A mediation model was tested, hypothesizing that autonomy, competence, and relatedness are associated with athletes' life satisfaction through their passion (harmonious and obsessive) for the sport. One hundred thirty-one athletes participated in this study, ranging in age from 15 to 59 years (M = 27.78; SD = 9.31). Athletes completed questionnaires regarding their satisfaction of basic psychological needs in sports, their passion for the sport, and overall life satisfaction. Perceptions of competence and relatedness were associated with harmonious passion (β = 0.37, p < 0.01; β = 0.21, p < 0.05, respectively), while perceptions of autonomy were linked to obsessive passion (β = 0.39, p < 0.05). Furthermore, harmonious passion was linked to life satisfaction (β = 0.40, p < 0.01), and only the indirect effect of competence on life satisfaction through harmonious passion was significant. The results suggest that autonomy satisfaction does not necessarily translate into higher levels of harmonious passion. However, competence and relationships play a significant role in the life satisfaction of athletes who have a harmonious passion for their sport.
- The dualistic model of passion in adapted sport: a double-serial mediation analysis on satisfaction with lifePublication . Teixeira, Diogo; Rodrigues, Filipe; Vitorino, Anabela; Cid, Luis; Bento, Teresa; Evmenenko, Anastasiia; Macedo, Rita; Morales-Sánchez, Verónica; Monteiro, DiogoAdapted sports practice has increased in recent years, and has now put an additional demand on research to further explore and understand the characteristics of this field of practice. The main aim of this study was to examine the serial mediation effects of motivation and affective activation in relationships between passion and satisfaction with life in adapted sports athletes. The study sample comprised 143 adapted sports athletes (male = 107) aged between 15 and 59 years (M = 29.21; SD = 10.45) enrolled in distinct modalities. Double serial mediation models were developed according to hypothetical associations, and were analyzed using PROCESS macro v. 3.3. In both models, no direct effect between the types of passion and satisfaction with life emerged. However, positive indirect effects through self-determined motivation have emerged in the harmonious and obsessive passion models, as for a distinct and positive effect of relatedness in satisfaction with life.
