Personality Psychology Social Psychology high school student activities Catholic high school students school sports health behavior in adolescence risk-taking in adolescence Studies on the relationship between high school students' participation in sports and structured activities and engagement in healthy and/or risky behaviors have resulted in mixed findings. In this study, students from 2 private, Catholic, single-sex high schools (N = 706) completed surveys about their participation in structured activities and health and risk behaviors. Whereas the amount of time spent participating in any type of structured activity was related to greater engagement in health behaviors and fewer risk behaviors, participation in sports (specifically) was associated with higher engagement in risk behaviors. Implications of these results in terms of sports participation as a "protective" activity in adolescence is discussed. General considerations and future research in this area are also discussed. 2011 English text Xavier University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=xavier1401191511 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=xavier1401191511 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
