ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to determine the predictive relationship of positive feedback received by the student and the fear of failure in relation to intrinsic motivation using, as mediating variables, motivational orientation and psychological need. The Performance Failure Assessment Inventory (PFAI) was validated in the context of physical education. The sample consisted of 654 physical education students with an average age of 15. The Spanish versions of the perception of teacher feedback scale (PTF) were administered, as were the long and short versions of the Performance Failure Assessment Inventory (PFAI), the Achievement Goals Scale 2 x 2 and the Satisfaction of Basic Psychological Needs Scale, and the intrinsic motivation factor of the Perceived Locus of Causality Scale (PLOC) was used. A descriptive analysis and correlation of all variables was performed, and to test the predictive relationship between the proposed variables, a measurement model and a structural equation model were performed. The results confirmed the reliability and factor structure of the PFAI scale and showed that intrinsic motivation was positively predicted by psychological mediators, along with the motivational orientations and these, in turn, by positive feedback and negatively by fear of failure. The mediator relationship with others was the exception, with no correlation. Due to the novelty of the proposal, further studies are needed in this field to substantiate the results obtained.
