Abstract

Sport concussions can have deleterious effects on the health of children. Despite the high risk of concussions for certain sports, previous research indicates many parents would let their children play these sports. Understanding which high-risk sports parents will let their children play, and why parents let them play high-risk sports is critical to understanding how best to educate parents about concussion risk and its consequences. The present study replicated previous research by Fedor and Gunstad (2016) and Ferraro et al. (2021) to determine whether parents would let their children play a variety of high-risk sports. It also examined some high-risk sports not previously studied, and how gender and grade level of a child affected parents' decisions. Lastly, it determined if concussion knowledge, gender beliefs, parental history of a concussion diagnosed by a physician, estimates about how many high school athletes play varsity college sports, and demographic variables predicted parental willingness to let their children play high-risk sports. A total of 390 parents participated in the survey. Most parents expressed willingness to let their children play the high-risk sports sampled except for tackle football. Gender beliefs, if a parent had a concussion, and education predicted if parents would let their children play high-risk sports. Recommendations are made about how to improve parents' decisions about whether to let their children play high-risk sports.

父母对孩子进行高风险运动的认可。

运动性脑震荡会对儿童的健康产生有害影响。尽管某些运动有很高的脑震荡风险，但之前的研究表明，许多父母会让他们的孩子参加这些运动。了解父母会让孩子参加哪些高风险运动，以及为什么父母会让孩子参加高风险运动，对于了解如何最好地教育父母脑震荡的风险及其后果至关重要。本研究复制了Fedor and Gunstad（2016）和Ferraro et al.（2021）之前的研究，以确定父母是否会让孩子参加各种高风险运动。它还研究了一些以前没有研究过的高风险运动，以及孩子的性别和年级水平如何影响父母的决定。最后，它确定了脑震荡知识、性别信仰、医生诊断的父母脑震荡史、估计有多少高中运动员参加大学校队运动，以及人口统计学变量是否预测了父母让孩子参加高风险运动的意愿。共有390名家长参与了调查。大多数家长表示愿意让他们的孩子参加除铲球以外的高风险运动。性别信仰，如果父母有脑震荡，教育预测父母是否会让他们的孩子参加高风险运动。关于如何提高父母决定是否让孩子参加高风险运动的建议。
