News reports (e.g., Abrams, 2008) and scholarly research (e.g., Wiersma & Fife, 2005) have indicated increasing concern that parent-spectator behavior at youth sport events may be problematic. Multiple strategies have been used to influence spectator behavior in youth sport contexts (e.g., "Silent Sundays"). However it is unlikely that interventions aimed at changing parent-spectator behaviors have adequately considered young athletes' perspectives, because little is known about how children want parents to behave during youth sport events. Therefore, children (ages 7-14 years) were asked to describe how parents actually behaved at youth sport events and how they wanted parents to behave. Through grounded theory analysis (Charmaz, 2000), three parent "roles" emerged from the data-supportive parent, demanding coach, and crazed fan.
新闻报道(例如 Abrams,2008)和学术研究(例如 Wiersma 和 Fife,2005)表明,人们越来越关注青少年体育赛事中家长观众的行为可能存在问题。已经采用了多种策略来影响青少年体育环境中的观众行为(例如“沉默星期日”)。然而,旨在改变家长观众行为的干预措施不太可能充分考虑年轻运动员的观点,因为人们对孩子们希望父母在青少年体育赛事中的表现方式知之甚少。因此,研究人员询问了孩子们(7-14 岁)父母在青少年体育赛事中的实际表现以及他们希望父母如何表现。通过扎根理论分析(Charmaz,2000),从数据中得出了三种父母的“角色”-支持型父母、要求苛刻的教练和疯狂的粉丝。
