Sažetak
The investigation was performed on a sample of 122 girls aged 12 ~ 30, involved in esthetic sports (rhythmic sports gymnastics and sports dance). The motivational space was examined with 30 variables. By means of the factorial analysis 8 latent dimensions have been isolated, the first two of which stand out. The first one has been labelled as esthetic movement and refers to the link between music and expressiveness of motions as well as the specific ability of expressing one’s personality through motions. The other one is the dimension of socializing in a group and of the experiences specifically fulfilling those engaged in esthetic sports.
The remaining six latent dimensions are less structured, yet they provide information on the structure of young girls’ motives to engage in sports with a distinct esthetic component.
