ABSTRACT:
There is evidence available which suggests differences in parent-child relations between athletes and nonathletes. To explore this possibility, a sample of male and female athletes as well as nonathletes were administered the Parent-Child Relations Questionnaire. No significant differences were found between athletes and nonathletes, however, interesting significant differences were found between male and female athletes. Male athletes reported significantly more neglect by both mother and father, significantly more rejection by the mother, and significantly more demands by the father as compared to female athletes. these differences were discussed in terms of social reinforcements for male athletic participation and attention being given for performance as opposed to recognition as an individual. These findings suggest further research exploring both athlete-nonathlete comparisons and intra-athlete comparisons based on such factors as specific sports groups competition level, and personality structure. A sample of male and female athletes as well as nonathletes were administered the Parent-Child Relations Questionnaire. No significant differences were found between athletes and non-athletes. However, significant differences were found between male and female athletes.
