A qualitative examination of the psychosocial determinants of parents' decisions to support sport participation for youth with mobility impairments
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The promotion of sport participation for youth with mobility impairments has been identified as a critical area for future research (Rimmer & Rowland, 2008). Researchers have recognized parents as potentially having an important influence on youth with mobility impairments’ sport participation (Kowalchuk & Crompton, 2009). The current study examined psychosocial determinants of parental decisions to support sport participation for youth with mobility impairments, with the purpose of comparing and contrasting constructs influencing parents of athletes and parents of non-athletes. Ten parents (Mage = 42.20; SD = 5.94) of athletes and ten parents (Mage = 42.50; SD = 6.62) of non-athletes were recruited to take part in semi-structured qualitative interviews with question development guided by the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA; Schwarzer, 1992). Following a content analysis, eight constructs from HAPA emerged as relevant to parental decisions: (1) attitudes; (2) intentions; (3) positive outcome expectations; (4) planning; (5) risk perceptions; (6) task self-efficacy; (7) maintenance self-efficacy; and (8) recovery self-efficacy. Other main themes that emerged included social support, barriers, facilitators, and resources. Differences among parents of athletes and non-athletes were apparent in how the constructs manifested. For example, while parents of non-athletes considered cost as influential for task self-efficacy, parents of athletes identified the availability and accessibility of sport programs. These findings provide a starting point for the development of a conceptual model of psychosocial determinants of parental support for sport participation for youth with mobility impairments. With further investigation, researchers can achieve the ultimate goal of developing interventions targeting parents to promote sport participation to youth with mobility impairments.Acknowledgments: Social Science and Humanities Research Council

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
