Explanatory model of motivational climate, self-concept and emotional intelligence in primary school students: Structural equation analysis.

Unlabelled: Motivational Climate, self-concept and emotional intelligence are important factors for education and learning in children and teenagers, with special relevance in Physical Education (PE).

Purpose: Addressing a gap in the literature, this study sought to develop and compare an explanatory model for analysing the relationships within the perceived teacher-generated motivational climate, self-concept and emotional intelligence in schoolchildren, using structural equation analysis.

Methods: The sample consisted of 347 Spanish primary school students of both genders (46.

Emotional Intelligence, Motivational Climate and Levels of Anxiety in Athletes from Different Categories of Sports: Analysis through Structural Equations.

(1) Background: Psychological factors can strongly affect the athletes’ performance. Therefore, currently the role of the sports psychologist is particularly relevant, being in charge of training the athlete’s psychological factors. This study aims at analysing the connections between motivational climate in sport, anxiety and emotional intelligence depending on the type of sport practised (individual/team) by means of a multigroup structural equations analysis.
