Method: 327 year-4 Primary Education pupils participated. A conditional processes analysis was performed by macro PROCESS v.3.4. Results: For the moderation effects, interactions appeared between motor coordination and gender when taking self-esteem, anxiety and motor competence self-perception as outcome variables. Interactions were found between self-esteem and gender when anxiety and motor competence self-perception were taken as outcome variables. An interaction appeared between anxiety and gender when motor competence self-perception was considered an outcome variable. A significant direct effect was noted between the motor coordination variable and motor competence self-perception for both genders. The moderated mediation indices supported the indirect conditional effects of motor coordination when partially and jointly bearing in mind the moderator effect of gender on motor competence self-perception by means of self-esteem and anxiety. Conclusions: The results reveal the importance of understanding motor competence by more globally contemplating not only students’ motor learning, but also their cognitive and psycho-emotional reality. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/JIUZ-2020-SOC-15 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es 1.6 2024 PSYCHOLOGY 61 / 93 = 0.656 2024 Q3 T2 HOSPITALITY, LEISURE, SPORT & TOURISM 82 / 141 = 0.582 2024 Q3 T2 PSYCHOLOGY, APPLIED 70 / 115 = 0.609 2024 Q3 T2 SPORT SCIENCES 74 / 134 = 0.552 2024 Q3 T2 0.778 2024 Physical Therapy, Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation 2024 Q1 Nephrology 2024 Q2 Sports Science 2024 Q2 Medicine (miscellaneous) 2024 Q2 Orthopedics and Sports Medicine 2024 Q2 4.2 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-3776-2901 Peñarrubia-Lozano, Carlos Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-8201-0469 Bustamante, Juan Carlos Universidad de Zaragoza 3001 187 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
