The moderating role of appearance self-concept in the relationship between sport and flourishing among adolescents: a COMPASS study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The present study examined the association between different contexts of sport participation and flourishing in adolescents over time and explored the moderating role of appearance self-concept. Participants were Canadian adolescents who participated in the COMPASS study in the 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 school years (N = 28,117, Time 1 Mage ± SD = 14.74 years old ± 1.16, 53.61% female). Prospective associations between self-reported sport participation (intramural, varsity, non-school based sport), appearance self-concept, and flourishing were tested using multilevel linear regression models stratified by sex. Intramural, varsity, and non-school based sport participation were not associated with flourishing across female and male models; however, participating in fewer (0 or 1) concurrent sports at baseline was associated with lower flourishing one year later relative to participation in two concurrent sports [b = −1.21 to −.27]. Higher appearance self-concept was associated with higher flourishing among females in school intramural [b = .13], varsity [b = .13], and non- school sport [b = .14], and males in non-school sport [b = .15]. The interaction between sport participation and appearance self-concept was not statistically significant for any models (p > .05). Improving appearance self-concept may be beneficial for improving flourishing over time among adolescents, particularly females. Testing more nuanced aspects of sport participation (i.e., competition level, aesthetic versus non), is essential to understand the potential features of sport contexts that may be harnessed to optimise the impact of sport on flourishing.

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.
