RESUMO
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect mediated by self-determined motivation on an athlete's burnout, anxiety and fear of failure. To this end, the sample group consisting of 235 semi-professional yachtsmen and women was asked to answer four questionnaires which set out to assess each of the study's variables: Behavioural Regulation in Sport Questionnaire, Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory, Sport Anxiety Scale-2 and Athlete Burnout Questionnaire. The ex-post facto research was designed to analyse a single group based on structural equation modelling (SEM) between the constructs under analysis. The results illustrate that behavioural regulation could be used to positively predict burnout and fear of failure mediated by sport anxiety. Moreover, behavioural regulation has a significant, positive and moderate bearing on burnout and is wholly mediated by sport anxiety. It concludes by underscoring the point that there is no relationship either between behavioural regulation and burnout or between behavioural regulation and fear of failure, unless the athlete in question experiences anxiety.

The aim of this study was to analyze the attitudes towards fair play, playing foul/hard, and the acceptability of teams antisocial behaviour, such as cheating and gamesmanship, in the context of grassroots sports teams. The sample included 48 teams of basket, football, handball, volleyball and rugby, including 1333 adolescents (1013 boys and 320 girls) with a mean age of 12.50 years (Range: 10-15; SD = 2.09 years). In order to study these psychological variables, the athletes answered the Predisposition to Cheating in Sports and the Fair play Attitudes Scale. Results showed the importance of the enjoyment in all sports studied, and an amount of acceptance to gamesmanship and cheating mostly in the masculine players. There are significant differences regarding the sport practiced and the players sex. Considering overall these results, gamesmanship is somehow accepted by team players while the cheating is not generally accepted but refused. Therefore, it will have to consider the gamesmanship correctly regarding the players perception of the concept of fair play (AU)
El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las actitudes hacia el juego limpio y la aceptabilidad del comportamiento antisocial de los equipos, como el engaño y la astucia, en el contexto de los equipos deportivos de base. La muestra incluyó 48 equipos de baloncesto, balonmano, balonmano, voleibol y rugby, entre ellos 1333 adolescentes (1013 niños y 320 niñas) con una edad media de 12.50 años (rango: 10-15; SD = 2.09). Para estudiar estas variables psicológicas, los atletas respondieron al cuestionario Predisposición a la Trampa en el Deporte y la Escala de Actitudes de Juego Limpio. Los resultados mostraron la importancia de la diversión en todos los deportes y una gran aceptación a la astucia y al engaño entre los jugadores masculinos. Hay diferencias significativas en todos los deportes y respecto al sexo de los jugadores. Considerando globalmente los resultados, la astucia es de alguna manera aceptada por los jugadores, mientras que el engaño no se acepta sino que se rechaza. Por lo tanto, se tendrá que considerar la astucia del juego (AU)
