Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among social support, basic psychological needs, and different types of motivation to understand university students’ exercise motivation. A total of 318 responses were collected from university students. This study conducted confirmatory factor analysis to assess the reliability and validity of the measurement model and tested hypotheses through structural equation modeling analysis. This study found that social support from friends had positive effects on competence, autonomy, and relatedness. In addition, three basic psychological needs positively influenced intrinsic motivation, identified regulation, and introjected regulation. While autonomy and relatedness negatively affected external regulation and amotivation, there were no significant effects of competence on external regulation and amotivation. This study extends the existing literature on exercise motivation and self-determination theory by providing empirical evidence.
