ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this study was to replicate previous studies in which selected demographic and socioeconomic factors were examined as influences on socialization into youth sport, and also to extend previous research by analyzing the effects of parental influence on involvement in and motivations toward sport. Subjects' gender, their fathers' past athletic experiences, and mothers' educational levels were the most influential independent variables. Influences varied between school sports and out-of-school sports and over the sports career of subjects. Examined the influence of selected demographic and socioeconomic variables upon socialization into youth sport and analyzed the effects of parental influence on involvement in and motivations toward sport. Traced the time from the subjects first encounter with organized sport through highschool. Questionnaires were administered to twelfth grade high school students (n=297). Results indicated that gender, father's past athletic experiences and mother's education level accounted for nearly 26% of the variance in sport involvement and nearly of the variance in motivations toward involvement in sport and recreational activities. Found that influences on involvement varied between school sports and out of school sports, and over the sports career of subjects.
