ABSTRACT:
A questionnaire was administered to 193 males (46 black and 147 white) and 222 females between the ages of 9 and 12, in order to determine whether race and gender differences occurred in children's socialization into sport. White children are more affected by teacher and family influences while black children are more influenced by opportunity set and values toward sport. Children tend to be more influenced by same-sex agents of socialization. Investigated whether race and gender differences occurred in children's socialization into sport. Collected data by using a fixed alternative questionnaire which was completed by black (n=46) and white n=147) males and black (n=69) and white (n=153) females between 9 and years of age. Results indicated that white children were more influenced by specific aspects of socialization while black children were more influenced by situational or contextual variables such as opportunity set and values toward sport. Findings showed gender differences were a function of same sex agents of socialization.
