- The use of self-focused and other-focused sports imagery was studied as a function of two possible determinants; source of motivation (intrinsic/well internalized vs. extrinsic/other-dependent), and early attachment experiences (mirroring/validation of strengths and idealizing/inspiring role models). Three dimensions of sports imagery experience were evaluated (ease of production (E), frequency (F), and emotional strength (ES)). Participants completed measures to assess intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, attachment needs, and the ES, E, and F dimensions of imagery production. Correlations were computed to evaluate the relationships between motivation and attachment (predictors), and imagery production (E, ES, F) and imagery type (self or other-focused) (outcomes). It was hypothesized that self-focused imagery would be related to higher intrinsic motivation scores, lower extrinsic motivation, and lower scores in both mirroring and idealization. In contrast, other-focused imagery would be related to lower intrinsic motivation scores, higher extrinsic motivation scores, and higher scores in mirroring and idealization.
