In the field of sport, motivation is one of the most studied variables and one of the most researched, since it is closely related to the reasons that lead the athletes to start, maintain, and abandon sports practice. The main objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between intrinsic motivation (IM) and emotional intelligence from the theoretical contributions of the Self-Determination Theory. The specific objectives are to analyze attention, clarity, and emotional regulation, as well as intrinsic motivation to acquire knowledge. Additionally, we aim to explore the relationship between attention, clarity, and emotional regulation and the intrinsic motivation to achieve something. Lastly, we investigate the correspondence between attention, clarity, and emotional regulation and the intrinsic motivation to experience stimuli. The sample consists of 163 undergraduate and master\u2019s students related to Physical Activity and Sports Sciences, studying at a Spanish public university, located in the southeast region of Andalusia\u2014specifically, in the city of Almer\u00eda. The participants had a mean age of 20.33 years. In terms of gender, 70.9% (n = 117) were men and 27.9% (n = 46) women. In terms of degree, 76.7% (n = 147) were undergraduate students and 23.3% (n = 18) were postgraduate students. The Sports Motivation Scale (SMS\/EMD) was used to assess intrinsic motivation, and the TMMS-24 was used to assess emotional intelligence. The main findings of this research demonstrate the existence of a relationship between the three dimensions of emotional intelligence (emotional attention, emotional clarity, and emotional regulation) and intrinsic motivation (intrinsic motivation to know something, intrinsic motivation to achieve something, and intrinsic motivation to experience stimulation). These findings emphasize the importance of emotional intelligence for intrinsic motivation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bs13070589","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,14]],"date-time":"2023-07-14T08:40:06Z","timestamp":1689324006000},"page":"589","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Intrinsic Motivation: Knowledge, Achievement, and Experimentation in Sports Science Students\u2014Relations with Emotional Intelligence"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1712-4571","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isabel","family":"Mercader-Rubio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Faculty of Education Sciences, Universidad de Almer\u00eda, La Ca\u00f1ada, 04120 Almer\u00eda, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9952-4095","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nieves Guti\u00e9rrez","family":"\u00c1ngel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Faculty of Education Sciences, Universidad de Almer\u00eda, La Ca\u00f1ada, 04120 Almer\u00eda, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2856-3502","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sofia","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Group in Social and Human Sciences (NICSH), Coimbra Education School, Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra, 3045-043 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Centro de Estudos Interdisciplinares (CEIS 20), Universidade de Coimbra, 3000-457 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o em Educa\u00e7\u00e3o de Adultos e Interven\u00e7\u00e3o Comunit\u00e1ria (CEAD), 8005-139 Faro, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8327-1567","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guilherme","family":"Furtado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Applied Research Institute, Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra, 3045-043 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Research Unit for Sport and Physical Activity (CIDAF), Faculty of Sport Sciences and Physical Education (FCDEF-UC), 3040-248 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7074-887X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S\u00f3nia","family":"Brito-Costa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Group in Social and Human Sciences (NICSH), Coimbra Education School, Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra, 3045-043 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Applied Research Institute, Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra, 3045-043 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Human Potential Development Center (CDPH), Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra, 3045-043 Coimbra, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Consejo de Europa (1992, January 14\u201315).
