60 question questionnaire
The Self-Determination Scale (SDS) and the Regulation of Emotions and Motivation Scale (REMS) both can be used to asses self-determination and emotion regulation in basketball players, comparing both professional and non-professional athletes. The SDS measures aspects like autonomy, competence, and relatedness, while the REMS assesses various types of motivational regulation.
Self-Determination Scale (SDS)
- Purpose:
The SDS, like the is used to assess the degree to which individuals are motivated by self-determined factors, such as intrinsic motivation and autonomy. - Relevance to Basketball:

The SDS may ask questions about why athletes participate in the sport, such as whether they enjoy it, find it challenging, or feel a sense of autonomy.
Regulation of Emotions and Motivation Scale (REMS)
- Purpose:
The REMS, like other versions of the SRQ, helps determine how individuals regulate their emotions and motivation. - Relevance to Basketball:

The REMS might include questions about whether athletes feel pressured to play, enjoy the game, or see it as a way to fulfill a goal.
Comparison of Pro and Non-Pro Athletes

Researchers often hypothesize that professional athletes will score higher on self-determination and more positive forms of motivational regulation compared to non-professional players. - Reasoning:
Professional athletes may be more intrinsically motivated, have a stronger sense of autonomy, and better manage their emotions due to their higher level of commitment and experience.
