Abstract

An experiment was conducted to assess (1) the interaction between global task motivation and motivational aspects of the environment (level of controls and autonomy-support present in the environment) and (2) gender differences with regard to this interaction. Forty male and forty female participants with high and low levels of self-determination towards relaxation attempted to learn relaxation using biofeedback in an either controlling or autonomy-supportive environment. The results confirm the notion that global task motivation and intervention style interact. Further, this interaction is qualified by a gender effect. The resulting triple interaction suggests that a different pattern of relations between the motivational aspects of the environment and level of self-determination emerges for men and women. Une expérimentation a été réalisée afin d'évaluer (1) l'interaction entre la motivation globale vis-à-vis une tâche et différents styles de mobilisation (degré d'un style d'intervention contrôlant et de soutien à l'autonomie) et (2) le rôle du genre dans cette interaction. Quarante hommes et quarante femmes ayant un niveau soit élevé ou faible d'autodétermination envers une tâche de relaxation ont participé à une tâche d'apprentissage à la relaxation à l'aide de biofeedback avec un intervenant qui présentait un style soit contrôlant soit de soutien à l'autonomie. Les résultats confirment la présence d'effets d'interactions entre le niveau d'autodétermination (motivation globale) et le style de l'intervention. Le genre du participant qualifie également cette interaction. L'interaction triple suggère l'existence de différentes formes de relations entre les aspects mobilisateurs de l'environnement et le niveau d'autodétermination pour les hommes et les femmes.
