Abstract

Parental involvement in youth sports is increasingly relevant in scientific research since parents have gradually developed awareness regarding youngsters' sports experiences. This study aimed to (1) examine potential differences in athletes' and parents' perceptions of parental involvement practices in youth basketball, (2) verify whether these perceptions differ by sex, and (3) analyze the relationship between the different perceptions dimensions recorded. The analysis included a large sample of 423 Portuguese participants (151 youth basketball athletes and 272 parents) who completed the Parental Behaviors in Sports (PBSP) questionnaire. The PBSP comprises a version for parents and a version for athletes, composed of five dimensions: (1) sports support, (2) competition attendance, (3) technical influence, (4) performance pressure, and (5) sports expectations. No significant statistical differences regarding PBSP dimensions were observed between boys and girls in the athletes' group. However, in the parents' group, fathers scored significantly lower than mothers in sports expectations (p = 0.001). Differences between athletes' and parents' perceptions were evident in competition attendance (p = 0.023), technical influence (p ≤ 0.001), and sports expectations (p = 0.023). When analyzing the dyads of boys-fathers and girls-mothers, significant differences were found for technical influence (p = 0.035), performance pressure (p = 0.020), and sports expectations (p < 0.001) between boys and fathers. Among girls and mothers, differences were perceived exclusively for technical influence (p = 0.005). Finally, technical influence correlated significantly with performance pressure (r = 0.351, p < 0.001) and sports expectations (r = 0.367, p < 0.001). These findings demonstrate the crucial importance for sports researchers and practitioners to consider differences in perceptions based on sex and role (athlete or parent) when designing and implementing parental educational programs.

分析父母对青少年篮球运动的参与。

随着家长对青少年运动经历的认识逐渐加深，家长参与青少年体育运动在科学研究中的重要性日益增强。本研究旨在(1)检验运动员和家长对青少年篮球父母参与实践的感知的潜在差异；(2)验证这些感知是否存在性别差异；(3)分析所记录的不同感知维度之间的关系。分析包括423名葡萄牙参与者（151名青少年篮球运动员和272名家长），他们完成了父母在运动中的行为（PBSP）问卷调查。PBSP分为家长版本和运动员版本，由五个维度组成：(1)体育支持，(2)比赛出勤，(3)技术影响，(4)表现压力，(5)体育期望。运动员组男孩和女孩在PBSP维度上没有显著的统计学差异。然而，在父母组中，父亲在运动期望方面的得分明显低于母亲（p = 0.001）。运动员和父母在比赛出勤率（p = 0.023）、技术影响（p≤0.001）和运动期望（p = 0.023）方面的认知差异明显。当分析男孩-父亲和女孩-母亲的二元组合时，发现男孩和父亲在技术影响（p = 0.035）、表现压力（p = 0.020）和运动期望（p < 0.001）方面存在显著差异。在女孩和母亲中，差异仅被认为是技术影响（p = 0.005）。最后，技术影响与成绩压力（r = 0.351, p < 0.001）和运动期望（r = 0.367, p < 0.001）显著相关。这些发现表明，在设计和实施父母教育计划时，体育研究人员和实践者考虑基于性别和角色（运动员或家长）的认知差异至关重要。
