A comparison of attitudes toward intensive competition among high school pupilsPotgieter, Justus R January 1971 (has links)
From Preface: As a teacher with experience in competitive sport, the author became interested in the topic of athletic competition when joining the staff of an all-boys' school. The competitive aspect of sport at such a school can make quite an impression on an inexperienced teacher. The question then arose; Is this competitive atmosphere universal? Is this type of competition acceptable and desirable in our schools? Being a teacher of Physical Education as well as other subjects and also being actively involved in the coaching of senior sports teams the author regarded himself suitably qualified to investigate the matter of athletic competition in our schools.

Relationship between sport competitive achievement orientations and coaching behavior preferences among young male athletes in ThailandBoonveerabut, Suebsai 30 June 1992 (has links)
This study was based upon the Multidimensional Model
of Leadership (Chelladurai, 1978, 1990), and the administration
of the Leadership Scale for Sport (LSS) and the
Sport Orientation Questionnaire (SOQ) (Gill and Deeter,
1988). The purposes of the study were: 1) To determine
the competitive achievement orientations (competitiveness,
goal and win) and coaching behavior preferences (training
and instruction, democratic, autocratic, social support,
and positive feedback) among young male Thai athletes
(n=403); and 2) to examine the relationships between competitive
orientations and coaching behavior preferences
among athletes for two different levels of competition,
high and low; two different age groups, from ages 13-15 and
16-18; and two types of sports, team and individual.
A preliminary MANOVA and ANOVAs indicated that significant
age x type interactions contributed to the competitiveness achievement orientation and all coaching behavior
preferences. Thai athletes showed the highest score for
goal orientation, followed by competitiveness and win
orientations. They preferred training and instruction, and
social support coaching behaviors over democratic and
positive feedback coaching behaviors. Autocratic coaching
behavior was least preferred. Results of the ANOVAs indicated
significant group differences in competitiveness
orientation variables and all coaching behavior variables.
Multivariate multiple regression demonstrated significant
relationships between competitive achievement orientations
and coaching behavior preferences. Canonical correlation
analyses of the four age x type interaction groups were
utilized, indicating bidirectional relationships between
all of the competitive achievement orientations, and all of
the coaching behavior preferences for older athletes who
participated in either team sports or individual sports.
The younger individual sport athletes presented a relationship
between training and instruction, democratic and
social support coaching behavior preferences and all competitive
achievement orientations, whereas younger team
sport athletes showed no relationship. This finding indicated
a stronger influenced of coaching behavior preferences
on younger individual sport athletes' competitive
achievement orientations. / Graduation date: 1993

Physiological, perceptual and performance responses to competitive stress in individual and team sports among youth sport participantsSwart, Kamilla January 1995 (has links)
Due to limited research in the field testing of youth sport, specifically with regard to females, this project was delimited to the examination of the responses of youth participants in relation to the nature of the sport, when participating under conditions of competitive stress. It further attempted to elucidate gender related differences within these responses. Forty four male and female subjects aged 15 - 19 years volunteered to participate in this study; all pupils were First team members who competed in a variety of team and individual sports. Subjects participated in a battery of psychological, physiological and performance tests before and after competing in a practice session and during competitive league matches. The data were statistically analyzed for the various parameters under investigation. The results of the Sport Competition Anxiety Test indicated that the females, and the male team players had the highest competitive anxiety traits (CTA). The Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire scores showed that most subjects have a general dominance of task orientation to sport. The results of the Physical Self-Perception Profile revealed that the females' poorer perception of their physical was not as substantial as their difference in CTA compared to males. Team participants, particularly the males, had a poorer self-image than individual sport counterparts. Elevated heart rate responses were observed prior to performing in a competitive ambience, with significant increases in team, rather than individual, players. The Evaluation of Task Demands revealed that team players, especially the females, perceived the match demands as significantly higher than the individual athletes. No significant differences were observed in the players' Evaluation of Perceived Strain. Neither were any significant differences observed in the players' ratings of their performance. In conclusion, although differences appear to exist between male and female responses within a competitive ambience, the magnitude of difference was far more notable between team and individual responses to competitive stress, particularly for competitive matches as opposed to practice sessions.

Understanding Academic Dishonesty as Social Process: The case of cheating in Vietnamese High SchoolsDoan, Linh Nguyet January 2022 (has links)
Research has consistently shown that academic dishonesty has a detrimental impact on the learning process. Nevertheless, very little research explores "cheating" behaviors from students’ perspectives or the role that peer groups play in the proliferation or reduction of cheating cultures. Academic dishonesty has always been an important subject to study. Still, it is even more crucial today to explore this issue in Western contexts and Eastern countries such as Vietnam. This study seeks to fill the knowledge gap using a quantitative approach that draws on a sample of approximately 1,000 high school students in five provinces of Vietnam. I seek to understand three research questions: (1) How do Vietnamese high school students define "academic dishonesty”? (2) To what extent do personal and contextual factors influence the students' attitudes toward cheating; and (3) How does the difference between the definition of cheating and students’ attitudes affect students’ decisions to engage in cheating.
The result of the Latent Class Analysis shows that Vietnamese students have very different perspectives on what is regarded as cheating in school. , In general, the definition of what it means as “cheating” is highly diverse. Student defined cheating differently depends on where it happens and who is involved, not just on the action itself. In the second research question, using different type of regression analysis and factor analysis, this study further finds that the student’s definition of cheating is the strongest among all the variables and is most likely to affect students’ reactions and attitudes about cheating. Other significant factors found included parental highest education level, leadership position in class, overall classroom achievement, and diligence culture affect students’ reactions. In the final research question, the study examines societal factors and finds that classroom climate also plays an essential role in explaining how students engage in cheating. Often, the class that values hard work over achievement has fewer students who confess to cheating, cheating frequently, and cheating in multiple subjects. In addition, a competitive culture that focuses on achievement can also affect and pressure students to cheat.
This finding highlights the importance of studying dishonestly through the lens of sociology which goes further than the student’s values or “rebellious nature” that makes them cheat. While various research in the field has examined multiple factors related to student cheating, we need to understand the students' rationales for commit cheating to provide root-cause solutions and actionable steps to reduce cheating in schools. The dissertation concludes with recommendations for future research and policy recommendation at the national policy level and at the local school or classroom level.

Hoops, nets, and ballots : investigating the relationship between competitive sport socialization and political participation of female candidatesCoffman, Jeffrey, University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Arts and Science January 2010 (has links)
Although more women are successfully breaching the social, economic and
political barriers that can prevent them from participating as electoral candidates, few
women campaign for elected office. A dearth of female candidates may be
understandable, given research demonstrating that women tend to avoid competition and
competitive environments. Thus, elections – competitive by design – may attract fewer
women than men. This thesis posits that the inherent competitiveness of electoral politics
may deter women from campaigning for office. However, this work also forwards that
competitive sport socialization during adolescence may prepare women for electoral
competition. This paper examines the results of a self-administered survey mailed to 449
female candidates for municipal office. The survey investigated candidates’ adolescent
experiences in competitive sports and attitudes relating to internal political efficacy. The
results appear to demonstrate a strong correlation between competitive sport socialization
and either positive or neutral evaluations of political competition. / x, 163 leaves ; 29 cm
