Abstract
This study examined the relationship between perception of contextual and situational motivational climate, goal orientations and competition goal involvement in Spanish athletes with cerebral palsy. Athletes (N= 57), completed inventories to assess perception of contextual and situational motivational climate, goal orientation and goal involvement. Results show that ego involvement was positively correlated with perception of contextual and situational coach ego involving motivational climate, and ego orientation. Analysis of hierarchical regression, reveled that competition task-involvement was predicted by the contextual task-involving motivational climate and competition ego involving was predicted only by ego orientation. Results are discussed in the context of conceptual basis of achievement goal perspective.
