Sammendrag
The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationships between Cognitive
Evaluation Theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985), The Dualistic Model of Passion (Vallerand et al.,
2003) and Flow experience within sport domain. Athletes from four Norwegian Sport High
Schools (N=95) presenting both genders and thirteen different sports participated in a
longitudinal design study. The data collections were conducted with one year interval.
Analyses showed a strong link between intrinsic motivation, harmonious passion and flow
experience. Extrinsic motivation and obsessive passion partial related positively to flow. The
data indicated some similarities and differences among genders development. Changes in
intrinsic motivation were the strongest positive predictor explaining changes in flow. The
implications of the study have practical impacts and important contribution to theory, on
motivation, passion and flow.
