Resumo(s)
The present study was grounded in Self-Determination Theory and the Dualistic Model of Passion. The objective of the study was to examine the relationships between basic psychological need satisfaction, passion (harmonious and obsessive), and life satisfaction in youth football players. The sample comprised 403 male youth football players aged 13 to 17 years who completed validated self-report measures assessing autonomy, competence, relatedness, passion for football, and global life satisfaction. The structural equation modeling approach was employed to assess direct and indirect
associations among variables, as well as to ascertain invariance of the model across age groups. The results of the study indicated that the satisfaction of basic psychological needs was associated with a propensity toward harmonious passion, while concurrently demonstrating an inverse relationship with obsessive passion. The harmonious passion–life satisfaction relationship was found to be positive, while the obsessive passion–life satisfaction relationship was found to be negative. The present study examined the relationship between need satisfaction and life satisfaction, with the hypothesis that passion would mediate this relationship. It was predicted that the way players internalize their motivation would play a central role in translating sport experiences into broader well-being. The structural model demonstrated invariance across age groups, thereby suggesting developmental robustness of these motivational processes throughout adolescence. These findings underscore the significance of need-supportive environments in youth football, which are instrumental in fostering adaptive forms of passion and promoting long-term psychological well-being.
