Does becoming a parent reduce sports participation? A longitudinal study of short- and long-term effects
Together with the different pathways of sport participation in the short- and long-term, these results can inform the development of interventions aimed at sustainable physical activity for new parents
Awareness about developmental coordination disorder
The present paper is designed to promote awareness of DCD outside the academic world. With a prevalence of 5–6% it is one of the most common disorders of child development. It is therefore surprising that so little is known about it among professionals in child healthcare and education. Parents have expressed frustration about this lack of awareness, including the general public. The general aim of this paper was to describe those critical aspect…
Why Do New Parents Stop Practising Sport? A Retrospective Study towards the Determinants of Dropping Out after Becoming a Parent
Despite the known health benefits of sport, recent studies showed that parenthood is related to decreased sport participation. Changes in sport behaviour after becoming a parent have been explained by gender or with the rational resource perspective of limited time and energy. However, the latter is mostly theoretical, since empirical insights on resource mechanisms are scarce. We want to improve and go beyond these explanations by investigating …
The unstable social networks of students
Social relations between demographically dissimilar people are less likely to last. But up till now, why relations with dissimilar friends, confidants, or even sport partners are less stable has remained unclear. We argue that the faster dissolution of ties to dissimilar others may stem from their weaker embeddedness in our social networks. We may feel less emotionally close to those who differ from us in key social dimensions such as gender, age…
Kudos make you run! How runners influence each other on the online social network Strava
Strava is the largest online social network for athletes. We used Strava’s big data to investigate how runners in the same virtual Strava club influenced each other’s running behavior. We hypothesized that receiving kudos on recorded activities would spur exercise rates, and that the running behavior of clubmates to whom ego gave kudos would serve as a motivational example. We focused on five different Strava clubs that functioned as a virtual ex…
Factors Related to Adolescents’ Participation in Organized Sports
Participation in organized sports has important health benefits in adolescence, yet participation rates are concerning. A better understanding of factors influencing adolescents' participation in organized sports offers opportunities to improve participation rates. The aim of this study was to examine to what extent motives, perceived competence, encouragement and motor skills were associated with participation in organized sports in a sample of …
Running Together
We examined how recreational runners benefit from running with others to maintain a consistent training regimen over time. We used data from the ABS project ("Always Keep Active"). Our sample consisted of more than 800 individuals who had registered to participate in the 2019 edition of the 7K or 15K Seven Hills Run (Nijmegen, The Netherlands) for the first time. Taking advantage of this three-wave, individual-level panel data, we found that incr…
Who benefits? Perceptions of which migrant groups benefit the most from the welfare state among ten migrant groups in the Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany
A migration effect? Comparing the acculturation of Russian migrant populations in Western Europe to Russians in three former soviet countries on attitudes towards government responsibility
In a number of recent articles migration has been used as a ‘natural experiment’, which can give insights into the general mechanisms of attitude formation. Studies from the field of psychology, however, suggest that the process of acculturation might be affected by migrants being in a particular situation. If such a ‘migration effect’ exists, then the conclusions on the more general mechanisms of attitude formation based on migration studies hav…

Cultuurparticipatie van Turken en Marokkanen in Nederland - Toetsing van een identificatie- en sociale netwerkverklaring
Cultural participation of Turkish and Moroccans in the Netherlands. Testing an identification and social network explanation Research on social differentiation in cultural participation traditionally focuses on educational or income inequalities. With respect to ethnic differences in highbrow culture relatively little is known. Employing recent data from the Netherlands Longitudinal Lifecourse Study (2010) we explore to what extent educational di…
A Macro-Sociological Study into the Changes in the Popularity of Domestic, European, and American Pop Music in Western Countries
Relying on the top 100 pop songs from year-end charts, we coded more than 30,000 chart positions based on the country of origin of the artist and the language of performance, in nine Western countries. We estimated cross-national differences and trends since 1973, testing expectations on globalization as has been reviewed in the literature, where Americanization/Westernization, diversification, nationalization, and glocalization have been disting…
How Education Moderates the Relation between Globalization and Nationalist Attitudes
“We do not believe in the division between left and right. The true division is between those who want globalization and those who do not. We are a patriotic party,” stated the party leader of Hungarian Jobbik (Movement for a better Hungary) (Phillips, 2010). This is an example of how popular radical right-wing parties propagate renewed national pride as a response to globalization. It is often theorized that nationalist attitudes are strengthene…
Globalization and Support for National Cultural Protectionism from a Cross-National Perspective
This study answers the question to what extent support for national cultural protectionism differs between countries, and to what extent differences between countries are related to levels of globalization. We propose that globalization processes affect people′s support of cultural protectionism, both by a diversification view on globalization, that is, larger supply of goods, and by a nationalistic interpretation, that is, a threat to the nation…
Xenophobia among Youngsters
This study examines xenophobic attitudes of secondary school pupils in the Netherlands. This study builds upon a previous research in three ways. First, attitudes of pupils from both the ethnic majority and minority groups are examined. Second, the impact of positive as well as negative inter-ethnic contacts both within and outside the school environment is determined. Finally, hypotheses about inter-ethnic contacts are tested while simultaneousl…
Own Culture First? Nationalism and the Preference for National Cultural Goods
To what extent do people prefer domestically produced cultural goods? We examine the influence of nationalism on preferences for national cultural goods, and the socioeconomic stratification of these preferences. By combining theoretical insights from research on the stratification of cultural consumption with research on nationalism, we answer our questions by analyzing ISSP data from 32 countries. Results indicate that educational level and soc…
Intergroup Contact and Ingroup Reappraisal
According to the deprovincialization thesis, interethnic contact involves a reappraisal and distancing from the ingroup. Contact can broaden one’s horizon by acknowledging and recognizing the value of other cultures and thereby putting the taken-for-granted own cultural standards into perspective. The current research uses data from three surveys to examine the relationship between quantity of outgroup contact and ingroup distance (ingroup identi…

Xenophobia among youngsters: the influence of interethnic contact. This study examines xenophobic attitudes of high school pupils. It answers the questions: To what extent do high school pupils from different ethnic backgrounds hold xenophobic attitudes? And to what are these attitudes related with interethnic contact? Scientific progress is made in three ways. Firstly, attitudes of high school pupils from both the ethnic majority (Dutch) and the…
