Resumen

Basado en la Teoría de las Necesidades Básicas, una de las mini-teorías de la Teoría de la Auto-Determinación (Ryan & Deci, 2002), dos fueron los objetivos del presente estudio: (a) poner a prueba, en el contexto deportivo mexicano, un modelo basado en la secuencia: percepción del apoyo a la autonomía ofrecido por el entrenador, satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas y bienestar psicológico, y (b) analizar la mediación de la satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas entre la percepción de apoyo a la autonomía y los indicadores de bienestar psicológico (satisfacción con la vida y vitalidad subjetiva). Seiscientos sesenta y nueve jóvenes deportistas mexicanos (Chicos = 339, Chicas = 330, Medad = 13.95) completaron un cuestionario que evaluaba las variables del estudio. Los análisis de ecuaciones estructurales revelaron que la percepción de apoyo a la autonomía ofrecido por el entrenador predecía la satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas de autonomía, competencia y relación. A su vez, la satisfacción de las tres necesidades actuó como predictora de la vitalidad subjetiva y de la satisfacción con la vida. Los análisis de la mediación informaron que la autonomía, la competencia y la relación mediaron parcialmente la relación entre la percepción de apoyo a la autonomía ofrecido por el entrenador y el bienestar psicológico de los jóvenes deportistas mexicanos.
