ABSTRACT

Sports are a pervasive and salient component of society, which have only recently received considerable attention from communication scholars. Although significant gains in knowledge have been made, there is a great need to explore the role and importance of interactions with family in the determination of sports participation or experiences, how families manage their sporting and familial roles, and the formation of identities and relationships. Whether via participation or fandom, families are central agents of socialization who come to instill attitudes and behaviors that shape how we understand sport, ourselves, and each other. It would be impossible to fully understand sporting or family experiences, without considering the intersection between the two.

摘要

体育是社会无处不在的重要组成部分，只是最近才受到传播学者的关注。尽管已经获得了大量的知识，但是仍然非常需要探索与家庭互动的作用和重要性，以确定体育参与或经验，家庭如何管理其体育和家庭角色以及身份和关系的形成。无论是通过参与还是狂热，家庭都是社会化的主要推动者，他们灌输的态度和行为决定了我们对体育，我们自己以及彼此的理解。如果不考虑两者之间的交叉点，就不可能完全了解体育或家庭经历。
