“…or their perceptions (alongside coaches and peers) of sport-based PYD program quality(Hardcastle, Tye, Glassey, & Hagger, 2013;Hodge, Kanters, Forneris, Bocarro, & Sayre-McCord, 2017; Riley & Anderson-Butcher, 2011).Within many sport-based PYD intervention studies (including both implicit and explicit development programs), the role of parents within the processes of psychosocial development have been posited even when parents have not been part of the intervention (see Camiré, Trudel, & Bernard, 2013; Hodge et al, 2017; Strachan, Parental Involvement and Psychosocial Development 15 Côté, & Deakin, 2011; Turnnidge, Vierimaa, & Côté, 2012). These studies position parents as potential mechanisms for delivery and reinforcement in explicit PYD programs particularly with regards to supporting key messages and facilitating life skill transfer.…”

The purpose of this article is to review and critique the literature in youth sport that specifically relates to parental influence on the experiences and psychosocial development of young athletes. First, we consider the literature examining the extent to which parental involvement in organised youth sport has been associated with psychosocial outcomes in young people. Within this critique, we draw upon what has been learned from the sport-based positive youth development (PYD) and life skills literature. Second, we address conceptual and methodological limitations of existing literature (e.g., homogeneity of samples, oversimplification of parenting in sport, studying parental involvement in isolation) and target key scientific gaps that exist in facilitating our understanding of optimal parental involvement (e.g., raising parental awareness and facilitating opportunities to support psychosocial development, improving coach education to facilitate parent-coach relationships, collaborating with coaches through well designed interventions, working on the "right" assets at the right time). Such gaps represent how parents appear to have been overlooked within the intentional process of psychosocial development. We offer concluding remarks about the future of youth sport in this area and provide specific recommendations to inspire future researchers and practitioners towards the challenge of empowering parents and more fully enabling their potential.

“…Furthermore, in line with our working definition of life skills whereby transfer is highlighted as a crucial aspect within the life skills domain, we have provided overall quality scores for the papers in which life skills development and transfer is evidenced (see Tables 2 and 4). These included the three papers identified as moderate-high quality (i.e., Bean et al, 2016;Huysmans et al, 2019;Jacobs & Wright, 2019); six of the 11 papers identified as moderate quality (i.e., Goudas & Giannoudis, 2010;Hodge Kanters, Forneris, Bocarro, & Sayre-McCord, 2017;Holt et al, 2013;Waldron, 2009;Weiss et al, 2013;Weiss, Bolter, & Kipp, 2016); and the one paper identified as low quality (i.e., Lee, Park, Jang, & Park, 2017).…”

Over the past two decades, researchers have reported positive life skills outcomes for young people participating in sport-based life-skills programs. However, to date, there has been a lack of consideration in the literature regarding the quality of the programs designed and the evaluation methods adopted. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review of the life skills literature to: (a) assess the quality of sport-based life skills program design and evaluation methods; and (b) identify characteristics relating to the quality of sport-based life skills programs where authors had evidenced life skills development and transfer. Using the PRISMA guidelines, we searched six databases for relevant research papers and applied inclusion and exclusion criteria to the papers returned, of which 13 papers met the criteria. We conducted two quality assessment exercises (design and evaluation methods) and found two moderate-high quality life skills programs, ten moderate quality programs, and one low quality program. We present the characteristics (regarding quality) of intervention designs and methods, conclude with recommendations for designing quality sport-based life skills programs, and provide guidelines for researchers to evaluate sport-based life skills programs. Lay Summary: Through engaging in sport-based life skills programs, young people can develop transferable skills. However, the quality of these life skills programs is unclear. We assess the quality of the design and evaluation methods of sport-based life skills programs, present the characteristics of moderate-high and moderate quality programs, and offer recommendations for future research and practice.Practical Implications:• The characteristics identified can be used to aid the development of the content, delivery and evaluation methods within future sport-based life skills programs.• The quality assessment tool (QATID) that is embedded within this paper can be used by applied researchers to ensure that the design of their life skills interventions is of high quality.• By using the QATID and the Mixed Method Appraisal Tool (MMAT) when designing and evaluating sport-based life skills programs, applied researchers can validate better subsequent claims of program effectiveness.

“…Educators may implement courses and activities that aim to improve PYD. As for family, programs such as Sport-Based Life Skills Programs could help improve adolescents’ PYD within the family context through physical activities [ 70 ]. In this way, the negative impacts of depressive symptoms may be reduced or eliminated.…”

The Relationship between Positive Youth Development and Depressive Symptoms among Chinese Early Adolescents: A Three-Year Cross-Lagged Analysis

Based on the development assets theory and the scar model, the present study examined the relationship between positive youth development (PYD) and depressive symptoms among Chinese early adolescents using a three-year longitudinal study design. Data from three waves were collected from 1301 students (Mean age = 12.46, SD = 0.63 years and 51.2% boys at wave 1) across the junior high school period (Grades 7–9). All participants completed a questionnaire that included the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) and the Chinese Positive Youth Development Scale (CPYD) once a year over three years. After controlling for age and gender, this study found that PYD significantly predicted subsequent depressive symptoms. However, depressive symptoms did not significantly predict subsequent PYD. The results indicated a unidirectional relationship between PYD and depressive symptoms, where a reduction in PYD may increase subsequent depressive symptoms, though not vice versa. Besides, the negative cross-sectional correlation between PYD and depressive symptoms remains significant and stable from first year (T1) to third year (T3). These findings suggest that promoting PYD may be a promising approach to preventing/reducing adolescent depressive symptoms.
