Recreation Students' Attitude toward Intramural Sports

Abstract

This study explored the attitude toward intramural sports of students who were taking recreation classes, (2) scores for athletic team members taking recreation classes compared to students taking recreation classes who were non-athletic team members, and (3) scores for students taking recreation classes who were non-participants in intramural sports compared to those students taking recreation classes who participated in intramural sports. Fifty-five respondents were male and 45 were female; 38 were athletic team members and 62 were non-athletic team members. Of the respondents, 56 were non-participants in intramural sports programs and 44 had participated in intramural sports. Scores for the Intramural Attitude Scale were calculated and recorded in three different tables. The results of this study indicated there were no significant difference in scores of students taking recreation classes from the Intramural Attitude Scale between males and females, members of athletic teams and non-members of athletic teams, and participants and non-participants in intramural sports recreation classes. Scores from the Intramural Attitude Scale were analyzed and compared based on (1) scores of males taking recreation classes compared to females
