Özet
This study aims to examine the moderating role of gender in the relationship between motivation and attitudes in physical education lessons in secondary schools. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to analyse the data. As a result, gender was found to have a moderating effect on the relationships between attitude and both external regulation and amotivation. Accordingly, the relationships between attitude and external regulation and amotivation were more negative for male than for females. The study has several implications for researchers, practitioners, and teachers. In conclusion, in order for male students to develop better attitudes towards physical education lessons, there is a need for physical education environments that will help them to adopt more self-determined forms of motivation.
