Description
Within my research, I will identify which constraints prohibit sport participation during adolescent years, with consideration of sociodemographic backgrounds, and how these constraints influence sport preference. The subjects for this study will be within the 20 year age group. Using a mixed-method approach I will be using a survey to ask questions to test my theory. Within the survey questions, I will ask hierarchical questions, obtain socio-demographic information about the subjects growing up, as well as where the subjects were socioeconomically at a certain age. The survey questions would then be analyzed, looking at whether there’s a difference in sports preference as an adolescent and as an adult. This will lead to the interview portion of the study if there is a difference in sports preference. For the interview process, I will be interviewing the subjects who agreed to come in for further questioning. I will be asking questions that would allow me to compare their adolescent sports preference and participation with their current sport preference and participation in sports. This would allow me to identify if any constraints influenced the change, and if so, which ones. This study would be predominately important in identifying constraints that prohibit sport participation and influence sport preference. The theory that I will use in my study is known as the Hierarchical Leisure Constraint theory. This theory investigates the impact of constraints on people’s behavior. I would use this theory to see which constraints (interpersonal/ or structural) prohibit sport participation thus, driving an individual to certain sport preferences.
