Este estudio buscaba comprobar si la evaluación de la motivación deportiva, según la Teoría de Orientación a Metas, varía de acuerdo con el uso de perfiles motivacionales simples o combinados. También se explora su relación con variables tales como nivel de práctica deportiva o el nivel de competición y logro alcanzado. Setenta y dos hombres y mujeres, estudiantes de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte de Zaragoza (España), respondieron el Cuestionario de Orientaciones Motivacionales en el Deporte (Guivernau & Duda, 1994, adaptación española del Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire, Duda, 1989). Los esultados muestran la existencia de diferentes relaciones motivacionales con las variables de práctica deportiva, en función del tipo de perfil utilizado. Se discuten las implicaciones prácticas de los hallazgos respecto del clima motivacional generado en la enseñanza de la Educación Física.

This study analysed whether the evaluation of sports motivation, according to the Goal Orientation Theory, varies according with the use of simple or combined motivational profiles. It also explored its relationship with variables such as the level of sports practice, or the level of competition and success. Seventy-two men and women, students of Sport and Physical Activity Sciences from Zaragoza (Spain), answered the Spanish adaptation (Guivernau & Duda, 1994) of the Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire, (Duda, 1989). Results indicated differences between the motivational profiles considered, in relation to the sportive practice variables. Finally, we discuss the practical implications of these results attending the Motivational Climate generated at the Physical Education classrooms.

OBJECTIVE: To assess patient satisfaction and functional results at long term follow-up after surgical correction for Peyronie's disease (PD) and congenital penile curvature (CPC) with the technique of tunical plication. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred and two men operated for PD (n = 76) or CPC (n = 26) in four different departments of urology in public hospitals agreed to answer a six-question telephone questionnaire about treatment satisfaction. Tunica albuginea plication procedures represented the standard surgical approach. Subjects under investigation were correction of the deformity, feeling of bumps under the skin, pain during erection, penile sensory changes, development of erectile dysfunction (ED) and postoperative ability for complete vaginal intromission. Subjective response rates were compared using the chi square test on the basis of the etiology of the disease (CPC or PD). RESULTS: Significant differences (p < 0.05) between patients with CPC and PD were noticed in the prevalence of postoperative penile deformity, sensory changes, ED and ability to complete vaginal intromission, PD patients always showing a more pessimistic view. No significant differences (p = ns) were detected in terms of unpleasant nodes under the penile skin or pain during erection. CONCLUSIONS: Long-term outcome after surgical correction for PD and CPC with the technique of tunical plication can be poor. Probably patient expectations are above the real performance of surgical techniques. Preoperative information should be more exhaustive.

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo describir las características psicométricas del cuestionario «Características Psicológicas relacionadas con el Rendimiento Deportivo» (CPRD). La estructura factorial de este instrumento está definida por cinco escalas que aglutinan un total de 55 items: control del estrés, influencia de la evaluación del rendimiento, motivación, habilidad mental y cohesión de equipo. El proceso seguido para la elaboración del cuestionario CPRD y la consistencia interna de conjunto total de items (coeficiente alfa de Cronbach = 0,85) permiten considerar este instrumento útil, interactuando con la información procedente de otros procedimientos de evaluación, para ayudar al psicólogo deportivo en la detección de necesidades y recursos, el planteamiento de hipótesis explicativas, la realización de análisis funcionales, la toma de decisión sobre los objetivos de la intervención y la observación del progreso de los deportistas.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the psychometric characteristics of the «Características Psicológicas Relacionadas con el Rendimiento Deportivo» (Psychological Characteristics Related to Sport Performace) questionnaire (CPRD). The factorial structure of this instrument shows five scales including a total number of 55 items. The scales are: Stress Control, Influence of Performance Evaluation, Motivation, Mental Skills and Team Cohesion. The process followed to develop the questionnaire, and the coeficient of internal consistency (Cronbach alfa 0,85) suggest that this instrument is a useful tool for the sport psychologist within the context of psychological assessment, providing relevant information about the needs and the resources of the athletes, to establish hypotheses, to develop a functional analysis, to make decisions about the intervention, and to observe the progress at follow-ups.
