Abstract EN
This study aims : (1) to identify motives of sport participation from the perspective of self- determination theory.
(2) to investigate gender differences between female and male subjects.
the population of this study was female and male students of the school of physical education at the university of Jordan (n= 88, 120), respectively.
in accordance with the self-determination theory, the Arabic version of the sport motivation scale was used to collect the required data.
the scale measures the different forms of motivation towards sport participation.
it consists of various subscales of intrinsic motivation (im-to know, im-to accomplish, im-to experience), extrinsic motivation (identified regulation, introjected regulation, external regulation) and amotivation.
results of the study revealed the mean value of 63.86 for the intrinsic motivation (high level), 58.46 for the extrinsic motivation (average level) and 10.91 for the amotivation low level.
no statistically significant differences were found between females and males subjects in motivation subscales except for the "to know" of 0.032, and the "amotivation" of 0.005.
in general, female and male participants were equally motivated.
future studies leading to female sports empowerment are encouraged.
