TI  - Social connection and psychological outcomes in a physical activity-based youth 
      development setting.
PG  - 431-41
AB  - It is believed that the social connections formed by participating in physical 
      activity-based positive youth development (PYD) programs contributes to building 
      personal and social assets. In this study, we examined how changes in social 
      connection over a physical activity-based PYD program for low-income youth were 
      associated with changes in psychological outcomes. Participants (N = 197) 
      completed pre- and postprogram questionnaires assessing leader support, social 
      competence, physical competence, and psychological outcomes (global self-worth, 
      physical self-worth, attraction to physical activity, and hope). Social 
      competence, physical competence, physical self-worth, and global self-worth 
      increased significantly over the 4-week program. Changes in social connections 
      predicted changes in psychological outcomes. Effect sizes were modest but suggest 
      that social interventions hold potential to promote positive outcomes in 
      underserved youth.
