There is a prevalence of about 26 percent of mental illness in the American population within a 12-month period (Bagalman and Cornell, 2018). Research has found that within this statistic, one of the most vulnerable groups at risk are our athletes, which might be due to their added unique stressors (Rice et al., 2016). Since literature has provided a link between motivation and enjoyment and overall well-being, the present study examined the relationship between self-reported motivation type and depressive and anxiety symptoms among collegiate and elite athletes, and whether there was a discrepancy between the two groups. Motivation type has been explained in research as being on a continuum, from one end being self-determined, or intrinsically motivated to the other end being extrinsically motivated, or non-self-determined. Additionally, the study also assessed for coping mechanisms and how they related to psychological symptoms and motivation.Fifty-seven male adult collegiate and professional athletes who, at the time of the study, were actively involved in sport were recruited for participation via snowball sampling. Participants were administered the Sport Motivation Scale-II (SMS), an 18-item measure that assesses sport motivation styles for sport participation; the Hamilton Anxiety and Hamilton Depression Rating Scales, self-report measures that assess for symptoms of anxiety and depression, respectively; and the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory (ACSI), which determines sport coping skills. The results of the study found that although there was not a significant relationship, there was a trend of higher levels of self-determined motivation correlating with a greater number of symptoms of anxiety and fewer symptoms of depression, in comparison to non-self-determined. Results also displayed higher self-determined motivation was related to significantly more adaptive coping styles, while lower self-determined motivation was significantly related to less adaptive coping. Furthermore, results showed that, although not at a significant level, elite athletes had higher levels of self-determined motivation than their collegiate counterparts.With the results, the study aimed to help lessen future psychological symptoms through the identification of risk and protective factors and early intervention techniques to cope with symptoms or how to use coping skills effectively. Specifically, mental health professionals working with athletes can assess their client's motivation type, symptoms, and coping methods using the study's measurements to see if they are at risk. Risk factors include lower self-determined motivation and less adaptive coping, and greater anxiety and depression symptoms, and the opposite appear to be protective factors. However, high anxiety appears to not be as problematic because it can be interpreted as excitement instead of a clinical issue, which means the clinician should consider this discrepancy on a case by case basis. Clinicians may also determine which coping techniques clients are currently applying and, where they are lacking, teach additional adaptive ones.
