Analysis of the Relationship between Media Behavior and Sports Activity of Junior and Senior High School Students

P(論文)We aim to clarify in this paper whether there is a relationship between the students' media behaviors and their activities in club. To achieve this object, we compared the students who belong to some club and the students who don't, and also compared the regular players and substitute players of physical activity clubs. We adopted the questionnaire method as a research method. A questionnaire used in this survey was delivered to 1423 junior high school students and to 1182 senior high school students. Main results are as follows. The significant difference between the boys and girls, and between the junior high school students and senior high was discovered on television watching, music listening, playing videogame and other media behaviors. Both school students who belong to any sport club have not only interest in sports, but also in other media. And, they have more affirmative opinion on the importance of sport than other students. Not only they prefer to watch the sport TV programs well, but also are sensitive to the fashion, and show much interests in television drama and music programs. Whether there was the significance between regular players and substitute players was also analyzed. As a result, the substitute players had more negative opinions on the importance of sports than the regular players. It is considered that daily media behavior influences the opinion of pupils on sports, and it affects the sport club activities in the school. As a reverse process, the enthusiastic sports player will evaluate the effects of sport high, and seek for the information on sports which mass media offers. It is assumed that the relationship between sports activity and media behavior is circular and two-ways process, the causality is the research subject to be clarified in the future.departmental bulletin pape
