Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of parental support towards college athletes on exercise stress and career attitude maturity. The study subjects were limited to college athletes in a metropolitan area. A total of 300 college athletes were selected as the sampling size, and 269 subjects were analyzed after 31 subjects whose questionnaires had missing items were excluded. Data were input to the computer according to the appropriate guidelines, and then computed according to the purpose of data analysis using SPSS Window ver. 20.0. Statistical significance was set at p .05. The results of the study are as follows. First, parental support did not affect individual time constraints and feeling unjust about the exercise, which are sub-factors of exercise stress. Career modeling, which is a sub-factor of parental support, was found to affect functional dissatisfaction and career anxiety. Second, the analysis of the effects of parental support on the sub-factors of the attitude toward the attitude showed that career modeling affects the readiness, purpose, independence, and assurance of athletes. Specifically, language support was found to influence independence. Parental support sub-factors did not affect decision making. Emotional support had been shown to affect confidence. Based on the results of this study, university athletes should seek support from themselves or seek parental support for continuing the exercise by deciding the course in the right direction.
