Abstract
ABSTRACT Intentional self-regulation (ISR) is a critical personal asset associated with positive youth development (PYD). It is generally assumed that sport-based youth development (SBYD) programs cultivate skills such as ISR through sport then help youth transfer such skills to other domains of life. However, empirical research on ISR development and transference remains scarce and inconsistent, which complicates effective SBYD program design and management. The purpose of the current study was to examine the influence of a SBYD program on the development and transference of domain-specific ISR (i.e., sport and life), as well as the impact of both ISR domains on a key indicator of PYD (i.e. self-worth). Structural equation modeling and cross-lagged panel modeling was utilized to analyze ISR development and transference during a 5-month program season, as well as the resulting influence on a key indicator of PYD (i.e., self-worth). Findings suggest domain-specific conceptualizations of ISR and an alternative transference logic between sport and life domains. The results offer theoretical implications related to ISR development and transference within SBYD contexts and outline several recommendations of program design and management.
