Abstract

The aims were to describe the level of motivation and emotional intelligence of adolescent high school students, as well as to check the differences in both variables, according to the student’s gender. For this purpose, the validated Spanish versions of the “Trait Meta-Mood Scale” and the “Sport Motivation Scale-II” were used. The sample was composed of 464 secondary school students from 12 to 17 years old. The results indicated that most of the students reflected being motivated in a self-determined way in Physical Education classes and possessing adequate values of emotional intelligence. In terms of gender, it isthe boys who achieved the highestvalues ofself-determined motivation and the girls who scored highest in emotional attention.
