Sport and Morality: The Role of Motivational Climate in Promoting or Preventing Antisocial Behavior Among Senior Team Athletes Through Moral Disengagement (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka vilka moraliskt frikopplande mekanismer som predicerar antisocialt beteende gentemot lagkamrater och motståndare. Studien avser även att undersöka moralisk frikoppling som mediator i relationen mellan resultatorienterat- och uppgiftsorienterat motivationsklimat och antisocialt beteende gentemot lagkamrater och motståndare. Föreliggande studie var en kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie och datainsamlingen gjordes via digitala enkäter. Totalt deltog 123 (M = 22,56, SD =4,06), senioridrottare i studien varav 58 kvinnor och 65 män. Deltagarna hade erfarenhet och var vid datainsamlingen aktiva i antingen fotboll, handboll, ishockey, innebandy och basket. Baserat på teorierna Achievment Goal Theory och moralisk frikoppling och tidigare forskning ställdes hypoteserna 1) om mekanismen omtolkning av beteende predicerar antisocialt beteende mot lagkamrater och motståndare, 2) moralisk frikoppling medierar relationen mellan resultatorienterat motivationsklimat och antisocialt beteende mot lagkamrater och motståndare, 3) moralisk frikoppling medierar relationen mellan uppgiftsorienterat motivationsklimat och antisocialt beteende mot lagkamrater och motståndare. Föreliggande hypoteser bekräftades genom två multipla regressionsanalyser och fyra medieringsanalyser. Resultatet låg i linje med teori och tidigare forskning och vidare belyser vikten av ökad förståelse över hur motivationsklimatet påverkar förekomsten av antisociala beteenden. 

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study was to examine which moral disengagement mechanisms predict antisocial behavior toward teammates and opponents. The study also aimed to investigate moral disengagement as a mediator in the relationship between performanceoriented and task-oriented motivational climates and antisocial behavior toward teammates and opponents. This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design, and data were collected through digital surveys. A total of 123 senior athletes (M = 22.56, SD = 4.06) participated in the study, including 58 women and 65 men. The participants had experience and were actively engaged in football, handball, ice hockey, floorball, and basketball at the time of data collection. Based on Achievement Goal Theory, the theory of moral disengagement, and previous research, the following hypotheses were formulated. 1) The mechanism of conduct reconstructual predicts antisocial behavior toward teammates and opponents, 2) Moral disengagement mediates the relationship between a performance-oriented motivational climate and antisocial behavior toward teammates and opponents, 3) Moral disengagement mediates the relationship between a task-oriented motivational climate and antisocial behavior toward teammates and opponents. The hypotheses were supported through two multiple regression analyses and four mediation analyses. The results aligned with theory and previous research, further highlighting the importance of increased understanding of how the motivational climate influences the occurrence of antisocial behaviors.
