Abstract

Taking the Self-Determination Theory as a basis (Deci and Ryan, 1985, 2000) a correlational model was tested attending to the variables: Autonomy support, Satisfaction of basic psychological needs, Self-determined motivation and Wellness (Self-concept: Global self-worth and Dance Competence).

Sample of 75 dancers (M=12.49; DT=2.32) the totality of the teenage student body from a private dance school. Diverse standardized instruments likely to be used in sport and adapted to dance were employed. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, and internal reliability analysis (Cronbach’s Alfa) were made, using the statistic package SPSS21.

The reliability indexes overcame the recommended criteria (alfa > .70) excluding Dance Competence (alfa=46.) The results offered partial support to the proposed model. When the dancers notice that their teachers provide an atmosphere of autonomy support, they result in a higher satisfaction of their psychological needs (specially autonomy and relation) and a higher quality of the experience: bigger self determined motivation towards dance. Hypothesis related to self-concept have not been confirmed.
