Cover Story: Motivational climate relates to individual behaviors, emotions, and thoughts. This review quantified the relationships between motivational climate and hedonic well-being. An amount of 82 articles totaling 26,378 athletes met the inclusion criteria. The task or mastery climate relationships were medium in magnitude with positive affect and satisfaction, and small with negative affect. The ego or performance climate relationships were small in magnitude for positive affect, negative affect, and satisfaction. For moderation analyses, athlete level moderated the task and ego motivational climate and positive affect/satisfaction relationship. In summary, the finding that elite athlete correlations appeared dampened is important. Even with the damped relationships, practitioners should promote the task climate to maximize positive affect and satisfactions. View this paper
