Abstract
|
|
|
On the basis of a theoretical tenet that voluntary sports commitment is a result of participation motivation both inherent in and extrinsic to the participant, a survey research was conducted with 664 university students sampled from six major universities located in the metropolitan Seoul area. It was theorized that the intrinic motivation for sports commitment is intimately associated with the relative degree of sport socialization which is postulated to be highly dependent upon personal attributes (e.g., sex, sport aptitude, interest, attitude, etc.) as well as upon influences from parents, peers, and teachers during the maturing ages, i.e., elementary and secondary school ages.
A self-report sports commitment questionnaire along with a sport socialization scale assessed 1) the present levels of sports commitment of respondents and 2) the degrees of sport socialization as well as socializing factors including personal attributes and influences from significant others.
Data analysis(using ANOVA, multiple regression analysis, etc.) revealed that:
1) a very low percentage of respondents practices sports and exercises;
2) even the sport-committed group is engaged mostly in a limited kind of sports learned at the schools, instead of such life-time oriented individual and dual sports as bowling, badminton and jogging, with the frequency and duration being low and short;
3) the main reasons for participating in sports are such extrinsic factors as improvement of health and weight control, rather than pursuit of fun, enjoyment, achievement and win;
4) in contrast, the main reasons for not participating in sports are lack of interest, concern, and skill as well as lack of time and facilities;
5) the sports commitment is significantly influenced by the degree of sport socialization which, in turn, is determined, to a great degree, by such socializing factors as personal interest, attitude, sex, birth place, and influences from significant others.
In order to promote mass sports, thus, these results, taken together, suggested a need for more emphasis on school physical education directed toward enhancing the awareness, interest, and attitude toward sports along with the provision of space and facilities for mass sports from the governmental standpoint.
