CHACON CUBEROS, Ramón et al. Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport and Academic Factors in University Students from Granada. REDIE [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.4, pp.100-109. ISSN 1607-4041.  https://doi.org/10.24320/redie.2018.20.4.1795.

This descriptive and cross-sectional study, conducted on a sample of 490 university students, seeks to analyze the relationships between academic factors such as academic achievement and holding a scholarship, and the perceived motivational climate in sport. The main instruments used were the PMCSQ-2 questionnaire and a self-registration sheet. The results showed that holding a scholarship and students’ access route to university were not related to the motivational climate in sport. It was however observed that students enrolled in privately-run state-funded schools (centros concertados) or private schools strived hardest to improve in sports and sought recognition. Furthermore, it was found that participants with higher grades prefer to play a leading role in sports.
