ABSTRACT

A positive relationship with parents contributes to well-being during emerging adulthood, the developmental period that bridges adolescence and adulthood (Arnett, J. J. [2015]. Emerging adulthood: The winding road from the late teens through the twenties [2nd ed.]. New York, NY: Oxford University Press. https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199795574.013.9). In this study, we investigated discrepancies between parent and emerging adult perceptions of relationship qualities within the context of intercollegiate sport. Parent and student-athlete reports of parental contact, parental support, academic engagement, and basic need satisfaction were compared to determine whether agreement existed. Results examining 50 parent/student-athlete dyads from a Division I institution completed online measures of relationship qualities. Results revealed minimal agreement across all measures (κ = −.10 to .12). Parents reported significantly higher levels of basic need satisfaction and academic engagement while student-athletes reported significantly higher levels of tangible parental support, providing evidence of the importance of the choice of informant when assessing parent/student-athlete relationships. These findings build a foundation for future work on how reporter differences are linked to student-athlete outcomes.

摘要

与父母的积极关系有助于成年初期的幸福，这是连接青春期和成年的发展时期（Arnett, JJ [2015]。成年初期：从十几岁到二十几岁的蜿蜒道路[第二版]。纽约州纽约：牛津大学出版社。https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199795574.013.9）。在这项研究中，我们调查了父母和新兴成年人在校际体育背景下对关系质量的看法之间的差异。对家长和学生运动员关于家长联系、家长支持、学术参与和基本需求满足的报告进行比较，以确定是否存在共识。对来自一级机构的 50 名家长/学生-运动员二人组进行的检查结果完成了关系质量的在线测量。结果显示所有措施的一致性极小（κ = −.10 至 .12)。家长报告的基本需求满足度和学业参与度显着提高，而学生运动员报告的有形家长支持水平显着提高，这证明了在评估家长/学生运动员关系时选择信息提供者的重要性。这些发现为未来研究记者差异如何与学生运动员的成绩联系起来奠定了基础。
