The mini-theories are: cognitive evaluation theory, organismic integration theory, causality orientations theory, basic psychological needs theory, goal contents theory, and relationships motivation theory. The chapter reviews a selection of sport and exercise psychology studies as opposed to providing a comprehensive review. It draws from SDT principles to discuss some applied implications within sport and/or exercise settings. The chapter reviews existing empirical research, and identifies several key gaps in the knowledge base that warrant attention in future research. It discusses the complex and multifaceted nature of motivation and goals, and reviews empirical data concerning the manifold psychological, functional, and phenomenological benefits of pursuing autonomous forms of motivation and goals rich in intrinsic content.
