An Investigation into the Effectiveness of a Training Program on Student Supervisor's Self Confidence
(2005-07-18) Ericksen, Danielle; Dr. Judy Peel, Committee Member; Dr. Larry Gustke, Committee Chair; Dr. Robb Wade, Committee Member
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a training program was effective on a student supervisor's self-confidence in necessary job related skills. The student supervisors who participated in this study were employees at the NC State University's Carmichael Gym. The foci of the training program were emergency procedures, conflict management and leadership skills. It was hypothesized that the training program would have a positive effect, such that the student supervisor's self-confidence would increase. Data was collected through a pre and post-test survey. The training program consisted of one-day leadership training, conflict discussions, leadership surveys and discussions, and randomized emergency procedure drills. The data was analyzed with a student t test, Wilcoxin ranked sign test, and through graphical analysis. The analysis showed a clear positive outcome in emergency procedures. Conflict management and leadership skills showed a decrease in scores, though not enough for it to be statistically significant. Future programs should focus on one section, such as emergency procedures, and emphasize the importance of it.

Parental Involvement in Youth Sports
(2005-04-28) Hendley, Kristy; Dr. Michael Kanters, Committee Chair; Dr. Judy Peel, Committee Member; Dr. Robb Wade, Committee Member
The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of parents and their children regarding the child's involvement in sports. The perceptions of the parents and their children were then compared in order to further examine discrepancies. 189 adolescents, ranging from eleven years old to nineteen years old, and 108 of their parents responded to a survey about their involvement in basketball. Using basketball as a medium over 29 variables, the child's perceptions of his/her parent, and the parent's perception of himself/herself and his/her relationship with the child we reviewed. Research showed the differences between the parents perceptions and the child's perceptions, gauging how parental support and parental pressure affected a child's success in and enjoyment of basketball. Parents tended to have more positive perceptions of themselves and their involvement in their child's extracurricular activities than what the child indicated he/she perceived. This suggests a gap in the parent-child relationship that can be further studied and used to educate parents and coaches. Recommendations for future study include expanding on this research and focusing on elite athletes in revenue sports in order to gauge their perceptions pressure and its effect on their enjoyment of and success in the game.
