To develop a dynamic interactive meta-model of sport motivation by synthesizing various social cognitive and achievement frameworks to explain athletic behavior.
Assessed 357 Slovenian male athletes, including 168 elite competitors and 189 youth athletes aged 12–14 years, across nine team and individual sports.
Administered 11 motivational instruments evaluating constructs such as self-efficacy, achievement motivation, goal orientation, and effort attributions.
Analyzed group differences and motivational dimensions using factor analysis and discriminant analysis.
Identified significant differences in motivational profiles between youth and elite competitors, as well as between athletes in individual versus team sports.
Demonstrated that individual sport disciplines carry unique motivational footprints, enabling the identification of core determinants that unify previous motivational theories.
