Abstract/Summary
This study aims to determine how motivation among elementary, high school, and college student athletes differ. In order to determine the differences in motivation, the researchers had to find out what factors motivate student-athletes in elementary, high school and college, and what type of motivation (extrinsic or intrinsic) increases as year level progresses. These were made possible through conducting focus group discussions and administering questionnaires. The researchers gathered participants from elementary, high school and college. Since this is a mixed study, data gathered were analyzed qualitatively through content analysis and quantitatively through 2X3 factorial ANOVA. The results from the focus group discussions showed that there are 9 themes. These are leisure, material benefits, external influence, passion, health, interaction, prestige, competition, and self-enhancement. The quantitatively analyzed data showed that there are significant differences in the motivation (intrinsic and extrinsic) of high school and college student-athletes.
