Dr Aris conducted a study to investigate how different coaching styles affect academy footballers' self-reported motivation levels.
He presented academy footballers with two hypothetical team-talk scenarios. In the first scenario, the coach used an autocratic, highly commanding style of feedback (Condition A). In the second scenario, the coach used a democratic, collaborative style of feedback (Condition B).
Following each scenario, the players rated their motivation level on a scale from 1 (completely demotivated) to 100 (highly motivated).
