The study was a quantitative approach with a survey descriptive design. In the results of the multivariate analysis of variance, followed by the univariate analysis of variance, it was found that men report higher levels of intrinsic motivation (F = 5.27, p <0.05), integrated regulation (F = 6). , 74, p <, 01), identified regulation (F = 3.96, p <, 05) and introjected regulation (F = 12.28, p <, 001) than women and without significant differences with respect to external regulation and demotivation.
