The Psychological Motives Towards Practicing Sports Among Jordanian Youth
Malek Y. Alkhutaba, Zahria I. Abdelihaq

The purpose of this study is to examine the psychological motives towards practicing
sports among Jordanian youth. The study participants included 102 youth (55 males and
47 female). The study employed a descriptive research design where a sports motives
scale founded by Luc G. Pelletier, et al.1995, was used to identify the psychological
motives towards practicing sports. Results of this study indicated that the intrinsic
motives "to know", extrinsic motives "external regulation", and extrinsic motivation
"identified" are the most effective motives among Jordanian youth respectively.
Furthermore, there was statistically a difference among Jordanian youth concerning
psychological motives based on gender and qualification variables.
