Bonding to Youth Clubs and Delinquency
Combative Sport and Warfare
In his classic 1973 study, Richard Sipes used a cross-cultural sample to examine the relationship between combative sport and warfare. He found that combat sport and war tended to co-occur, thus supporting a spillover hypothesis, rather than a catharsis hypothesis. However, his sample was small (n = 20) and composed of outliers—societies that were either extremely warlike or extremely peaceful-and did not address a current concern in cross-cultur…
Family Bonding and Delinquency
Research investigating racially and cultural varied influences on delinquency has been rather sparse. In this study, we investigate the cultural sensitivity of Hirschi's social bonding theory across a racially/ethnically diverse sample (i.e., Whites, African Americans, and Hispanics). The study also is unique due to the young age of its respondents (i.e., sixth graders and eighth graders). In this article, we compare the reliability and validity …
Interviewing Early Adolescents
Adolescence poses some distinct challenges to the interviewing process. Applied social scientists frequently use the interview as a tool for the gathering of information from adolescents, but the paucity of information in the literature renders a discussion of adolescent issues particularly appropriate. Developmental issues, methodological issues surrounding the construction of and conducting of the early adolescent research interview, and legal …

Do High School Athletics Pay
It has been reported that participation in high school athletics has a positive effect on education, occupational status attainment, and earnings. (Otto and Alwin, 1977; Howell and Picou, 1983). The findings regarding the economical benefits of sport participation have emerged from two regional panel studies and need to be examined for generalizability beyond local labor markets. We test this hypothesis using the five-wave Youth in Transition pan…
Conflict Resolution in Games and Sports
Structural elements which seem to limit and control conflicts in games and sports are examined. How these elements may be developed within sport environments is then discussed. Valuable lessons can be learned (a) from sports and games in non-Western societies where conflict is often controlled by ritual, (b) from the informal games of children, where the play element often is maintained, and (c) from the concept of subordinate goals, developed as…
