ABSTRACT:
Previous research involving high school athletes has revealed conceptually consistent associations between goal orientations and views about what should be the consequences of sport participation. The nature and assessment of perceptions of the purposes of sport and the correspondence between these perceptions and athletes' goal orientations have not been examined among youth sport participants, and hence the purpose of this investigation. Overall, results from the study indicated that males more than females perceived that the function of sport participation was to increse status and popularity, teach deceptive behaviors and superiority, and increase competitiveness. Canonical correlation analysis indicated that children who were strongly task oriented perceived that the purposes of sport were to increase self-esteem, advance good citizenship, foster the value of mastery and cooperation, and encourage a physically active lifestyle.
