Relating Sport to Academics

Methods

  • It has also been shown that higher SES parents take a more active role than their lower SES counterparts in supporting academics (Hoover-Dempsey, Bassler, & Brissie, 1987)
  • Cross-sectional study comparing the two groups
  • Questionnaires for children
  • Interviews for parents
  • Futhermore, McNeal (2001) displayed that poor parents and minorities are far less likely to be involved in school-based activities due to a sense of intimidation and past negative experiences.

Feasibility

  • Low-cost
  • Not time consuming
  • May have a problem finding volunteers

My Study

Analyzing children of differing socioeconomic statuses, and comparing parental involvement among the two groups

Research Question

Socioeconomic Status and Parental Involvement in Sport

Do 6-year-old dependents of low socioeconomic status have limited involvement in sport because of low parental involvement?

Sample

What We Know

  • Grade 1 Girls (6 years old)
  • No siblings
  • Parents are married/together
  • From Kingston, ON
  • Cote and Lidor (2013) have displayed that parental investment can be vital when it comes to continued youth sport participation

Group 1

  • Fairclough et al. (2011) have shown that the greatest proportion of children that participate in sport are in the highest SES quartile

Group 2

  • High SES group (parental income greater than $100,000)
  • From a wealthy area of town
  • Enrolled in private school
  • Low SES group (parental income less than $50,000)
  • From a poor area of town
  • Enrolled in public school
  • Other studies have noted that individual physical activity cognitions in youth, such as low self-efficacy, were associated with decreased participation in sport, and were reported most among lower socioeconomic groups (Kamphuis et al., 2008)
