Abstract
Research has examined how constraints and negotiation strategies influence behavioural components of participation in a given activity, with limited attention to how these strategies impact the development of involvement. Previous work has also tended to examine involvement at the aggregate level. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects that constraints and negotiation strategies have on individual facets of involvement, namely, attraction, identity affirmation, identity expression, centrality, and social bonding. Students participating in a university intramural sport programme (N = 237) at a large Canadian university completed a written survey that investigated the constructs of involvement, constraints, and negotiation strategies. Findings determined that each facet of involvement was impacted differently, with some commonalities between facets. This study has implications for practitioners developing strategies to enhance participation in intramural sport.
