Abstract: This paper is an attempt to establish relationships among elements that define the Achievement Goal Theory (Nicholls) and the Self-determination Theory (Deci & Ryan), as well as to analyze existing differences, depending on several demographic variables. A sample of 413 athletes of different sports, ranging in age from 12 to 16, who responded the POSQ, PMCSQ-2 and SMS, was used for it. The results reveal that athletes with high SDI show higher task orientation and perceive higher task-involving climate than athletes with low SDI, who have higher ego orientation and higher ego-involving climate perception. Also, boys show higher ego orientation and perceive higher ego-involving motivational climate than girls, who perceive higher task-involving motivational climate and have higher SDI. It has also been found that youngest athletes perceive higher task involving climate, and that higher practice time is related with higher SDI. Team sport athletes have higher ego orientation and higher ego-involving climate perception, while task orientation and SDI is higher in individual sports.
