Abstract
The purpose of current study was to determine the effect of normative feedback on beginner students’ intrinsic motivation in performance of postural stability. Thirty male students (22/2 ± 9/22) of Shahid Beheshti University were randomly assigned to three groups: positive and negative normative feedback and control groups. Acquisition phase consisted of 160 trials (16 blocks of 10 attempts) throughout 4 days. Normative feedback was provided in the form of a 10% higher or lower than the actual average training at the end of each block. Participants at the end of the acquisition phase completed the intrinsic motivation questionnaire. The results of ANOVA indicated that there are significance differences between groups in perceived competence, effort/importance subscales and also in the total score of the intrinsic motivation. According to these findings it suggest to coaches providing successful experiences by feedback presentation and emphasis on their positive function arise good effect on motor performance.
