Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the main dimensions of participating in sport in girls and boys aged 14 to 17 years from eighteen high schools at three, five, six, seven and thirteen Tehran educational zones. After distributing questionnaires which contain: feedback and reinforcement, motivational orientation, perceived competence scale, sport emotion and sport motivation among 813 adolescents who studied in high school degree in Tehran, data were collected for analysis. MANOVA test showed the gender was not effective in feedback and reinforcement, perceived competence and internal and external motivation while it was effective in emotional states and goal orientation. Chi-square test revealed that parents' sport experience and education were effective in motivation, while mother's education and parental occupation did not affect sport participation among adolescents. Multivariate regression revealed that internal and external motivation, feedback and reinforcement, goal orientation, emotional states, perceived competence and gender predicted sport participation motivation.
