| dc.description.abstract | Rural volleyball clubs in Twente, Niedersachsen and Nordrhein-Westfalen show many similarities at first sight. Yet, they are situated in very differing spatial, social and cultural contexts. This research delved into these differences to not only see what they are but to also understand them in order to figure out what they mean for day-to-day life and to overcome cultural differences. To be able to research the spatial contexts the self-determination theory for motivation was used in order to connect daily practices to the spatial and social context. Concretely this meant that the influence of place on motivation in volleyball was researched. Several focus groups and interviews were conducted with teams within the three areas. It was concluded that within Twente, place had a positive influence on motivation due to proximity, rurality and the regional culture. In Niedersachsen and Nordrhein-Westfalen the national culture was more prevalent, which resulted in both a positive and negative influence of space on motivation. Out of these conclusions cultural differences between the areas were identified that could enhance cross border cooperation. | en_US |
