Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of task-oriented and self-oriented sports motivational climates on students' physical self-concept.
Methods: The population included 2056 female students in Qom. The research method used was quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design, consisting of two experimental groups and one control group. The first experimental group experienced a task-oriented motivational climate, which involved participatory and voluntary activities. The second experimental group experienced a self-oriented motivational climate, which involved competitive and compulsory activities. The control group continued with the usual physical education program at school. Data was collected using a short form of the Marsh et al. self-description questionnaire.
Results: Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon's statistical tests were used to analyze the data. Physical self-concept, including physical activities, physical appearance, endurance, physical competence, flexibility, overall self-concept, and self-esteem, significantly increased as a result of creating a motivational climate based on the task-oriented method. However, a significant increase was also observed in the Harmony to Self-Oriented method.
Conclusion: Participation in physical activities through the creation of a task-oriented motivational climate is recommended to increase physical self-concept and feelings of value.
