“…Results indicated a positive signification relationship between the two, revealing that as the number of semesters of intramural involvement increases, shared emotional connection scores also increase. This relationship seems to support the Sense of Community model with regards to the concept of contact hypothesis (Allan & Allan, 1971;McMillan & Chavis, 1986). The proximity and frequency of group members' interactions plays a key role in establishing shared emotional connections.…”

Chair: NELSON COOPER, Ph.D. DEPARTMENT OF RECREATION AND LEISURE STUDIESThe purpose of this study was to determine if there were statistically significant relationships between intramural sports participation and sense of community among college students. A convenience sample was used, comprised of intramural sports participants from a university in the southeastern United States. Participants completed a questionnaire consisting of demographic questions and the Sense of Community Index-2 (SCI-2) (Chavis, Lee & Acosta, 2008) to rate their level of sense of community experienced through participation in intramural sports. The SCI-2 consists of four subscales, pertaining to the contributing elements of sense of community: membership, influence, integration and fulfillment of needs, and shared emotional connection (McMillan & Chavis, 1986). Questionnaires were distributed once and administered online, and all responses were confidential. Multiple regressions, analysis of variance and t-tests were used test for significant relationships between sense of community and respondents' (a) length of intramural sports participation and (b) frequency of intramural sports participation.Results indicated that increased length of participation was strongly associated with a greater sense of community among participants. Study findings could be used to develop effective marketing plans to attract student participants, while also providing the framework that programmers need to support their intramural program's existence to campus administrators.

“…The virtual reality is not merely a mixture of cyberspace and educational stimulation; a virtual platform is indeed a learning community that facilitates collaborative learning activities among participants and virtual objects. In order to strengthen the individuals' cohesiveness and communication, a sense of community could facilitate the interaction and sharing among participants (Festinger 1950;Myers 1962;Allan and Allan 1971), and also provide positive experience and relationships among all members (Cook 1970). Moreover, it is also important to create group success within this community (Sacks 1952;Berkowitz 1956;Peterson and Martens 1972).…”

A five-phased training activity was conducted with 23 midwestern metropolitan police managers, Participants reported gaining skill in individual and group problem solving and in communications. Self-descriptions of managerial behavior by participants grew more favorable over time, indicating they reported more behavior reflecting the goals of training. Co-workers, who were describing the managers in training on the same items as the managers described themselves, indicated that the managers were performing at a relatively high level throughout the training activities. No significant change appeared in co-worker descriptions.
