Sažetak
Abstract The differences in perception of motivational climate between athletes who differ in the feeling of pressure in regard to their sport were investigated. The sample consisted of 388 young male Croatian football and handball players. Croatian version of Perceived Motivational Climate Questionnaire was administered and pressure/tension subscale from Croatian version of Intrinsic Motivation Inventory was used to evaluate a feeling of pressure during training and competition. The results showed prevalence of mastery motivational climate. The feeling of pressure correlated positively with performance climate, and negatively with mastery motivational climate. Low pressured athletes perceive more signs of mastery climate in their environment than highly pressured athletes. The high pressured athletes perceive significantly more signs of performance motivational climate in their teams in comparison to low pressured athletes.
