The purpose of this study was to investigate children's motivational orientations to sport. Recent social cognitive theories of achievement motivation were applied in order: (I) to determine the interrelationships between children's goal orientations and beliefs about success in sport, and (2) to examine the correspondence between goal-belief dimensions and children's interest in and enjoyment of sport activities. One hundred and forty two 1O-year-old British boys and girls completed an inventory assessing their goal orientations (dispositional emphasis on taskoriented, ego-oriented, cooperation, and work avoidant goals), beliefs about the causes of success, and degree of satisfaction / interest specific to the context of sport and games. Sex differences in ego orientation and the perceived causes for sport success emerged. Correlational and factor analyses revealed that task orientation was linked to a focus on cooperation and the belief that success stems from effort. Ego orientation was coupled with an emphasis on work avoidance and the view that the possession of ability and / or deceptive tactics and external factors lead to success. The task goal-belief factor positively correlated with the children's reported enjoyment of sport and was negatively related to the amount of boredom experienced. Children who were high in the ego goal-belief dimension tended to fmd sport more boring.
