What do we say about an opponent who needs help during a game?

For the Kindness section, this study offers a way to examine how relationships at home connect with prosocial action in sport.

Who was studied?

Young athletes and nonathletes surveyed, plus interviews with athletes and sports parents

Age / stage: 12–16 years

Read with three questions

  1. How did the authors investigate how relationships at home connect with prosocial action in sport?
  2. Where do the qualitative accounts support, qualify or add to the quantitative results?
  3. How did young athletes’ descriptions of sportsmanship compare with those of sports parents?

Keep the limits in view

The survey included both athletes and nonathletes, whereas the interview sample was much smaller and focused on sports families.
