This book was released on 1974 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Statement of the Problem: The focal point of student activity centers around a student's residential affiliation. Therefore, a student's residence should be considered as a vital area for continued research. There have been a number of studies directly related to a student population, some focusing on activities and some on the effects of his living group. But, the current literature directed toward the effect one has on the other is almost non-existent. This investigation was undertaken to ascertain the effect of residential peer pressure on male freshmen students at Oregon State University to participate in organized intramural sports. Procedure: A three-part data gathering instrument was developed to elicit student responses relative to perceived residential peer pressure and extent of organized intramural participation. Reliability was determined by using the test-retest method. Responses of 283 Oregon State University male freshmen students, selected at random from official records, were subjected to non-parametric statistical analysis. The chi square, one-way analysis of variance and point-biserial correlations were used for data analysis. Student responses were designed to determine significant differences between fraternity and residence hall male freshmen. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study and to the extent the sample population is representative of the freshmen at Oregon State University, the following conclusions have been derived from the results of the research. 1. Significant differences were obtained between fraternity and residence hall members related to perceived peer group pressure to take part in additional extra-curricular activities and to participate in organized intramural sports. 2. Significant differences existed between freshman participation in team sports when compared to participation in individual sports. 3. Intramural group membership is considered a desirable and valuable experience for both residence hall and fraternity members. 4. Significant differences resulted between perceived opinion of residence hall or fraternity member's peer group attitude toward intramurals. It is concluded, therefore, that the fraternity because of its social nature, places more value on organized intramural sports than does the residence halls. 5. No significant correlation resulted between previous high school sports participation and participation in organized intramural sports at Oregon State University. 6. Freshman fraternity members participated in organized intramural team sports at a significantly higher mean score value than residence hall members. 7. Competitive team sports and unorganized physical activity can be considered the core of the intramural-recreational program for male undergraduates at Oregon State University. Little interest was expressed for organized intramural individual sports. 8. Class work showed very high percentages for students not participating in sports activities as much as they would like to. 9. The point-biserial correlation showed no significant relationship between perceived peer pressure and participation in organized intramural sports.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine women's perceptions of their physical activity needs and preferences, survey their evaluation of how the Intramural Sports Department accommodates those needs and preferences, and determine if and how intramural sports programming might be adjusted to serve women better. An open-ended survey was administered to female Oregon State University intramural sports participants and potential participants; the survey probed for customer needs, communication aspects, and assessment of program services. Utilizing a grounded theory analysis, five significant findings emerged from the survey results. The first category, women participate in intramural sports for the social aspects, revealed that female respondents participate in the intramural sports program to enjoy the camaraderie that takes place with friends and other participants; this finding is consistent with past research. A lack of opportunities and a desire for a team formation service emerged as the second category; this category indicated a barrier to participation in intramural sports. The third category that emerged indicated that respondents have a desire for multiple skill levels from which to choose to participate; however, a lack of female participation prohibits a multiple skill level option. Although past research has suggested that women prefer a cooperative playing environment, the fourth significant finding indicated that survey results did not confirm nor disconfirm that theory. Female participants and potential participants reported a desire for both competitiveness and cooperativeness in their playing environments. The final significant finding indicated that women are getting the message about intramural sports; however, the message does not entice them to participate. Interactive interviews with three participants and two potential participants confirmed the research findings and analysis. Suggestions to assist with team formation, increase female participation, reduce participation barriers, provide a mixture of competitiveness and cooperativeness, enhance promotion efforts, and conduct future research are presented.
