Relationship Between Experiences with Goal Setting and Time Attitude of High School Students who Participate in Athletic Clubs

Abstract

The aim of this study is to clarify the relationship between the experiences with the goal setting and time attitude of the high school students who participate in athletic clubs. The investigation consisting of 5 surveys was introduced to 398 high school students (210 athletic clubs' students, 77 non-athletic clubs' students, and 111 students who not participate in any kind of club). From the results of this study, it was clarified that (1) the goal-setting skill was related to goal-directedness in athletic clubs' students and non-athletic clubs' students. On the other hand, there is little relationship between the goal-setting skill and goal-directedness in students who not participate in any kind of club. (2) In athletic clubs' students, the interpretation of experiences at clubs was related to hopefulness and self-fullness. Consequently, it is considered that the experiences of goal setting in clubs and the interpretation of the experiences at clubs were related to the time attitude of athletic clubs' students, while the interpretation of the experiences at clubs had little relationship to the time attitude of non-athletic clubs' students.
