“…Given that migrating as a group is hardly likely for transnational athletes seeking professional opportunities, a team sport athlete may benefit more, than an individual sport athlete, from established channels of migration in the global sports system (Maguire & Falcous, 2011). The social relations with teammates may further alleviate adaptation difficulties; however, this potentially is contingent on the team's acceptance and sharing of the acculturation load with the newcomers to enhance their basic psychological needs satisfaction (Morela et al, 2019;Ryba et al, 2012Schinke et al, 2013;.…”

“…Moreover, a recent study of youth migrants in Greece showed that sport can reduce feelings of discrimination and serve as a buffer against acculturative stress (Morela, Elbe, Theodorakis, & Hatzigeorgiadis, 2019). However, no previous studies have examined the extent to which challenges associated with transitioning into a new culture in general impact on an athlete's adaptation in the sport context.…”

“…Besides, there is a vast range of cultural adaptation to the day to day difficulties that prospective foreign athletes would tackle as they move overseas. For instance, migrant athletes find it problematic to grasp team culture/humor, comprehend local language, express their selves within the team, live apart from family/friends member every day (Ryba et al, 2020) as well as build social relationships with their sport colleagues (Morela et al, 2019) and thus such issues may potentially render sport players' adaptation slightly challenging. Based on these arguments, we might infer that adaptation, cultural transition, or acculturation difficulties in combination with international status may alter the relationship between negative coaching rapport and bullying victimization within the team.…”

This study explores the influence of individual and relational predictors on bullying perpetration/victimization among semi-professional team sport players in North Cyprus. Three variables reflect on an individual’s level characteristics (e.g., gender, age, and nationality), and another one, representing the relational level factor (e.g., negative coaching behavior). The current paper obtained data from athletes through convenient sampling technique and online survey utilization. A total of 190 sports players with an average age of 24.77 (SD = 4.52) participated. All participants were club athletes from 16 diverse nations, competing in four different sports disciplines: football, volleyball, handball, and basketball. Hierarchical regression analysis was implemented to evaluate the above underlying linkages. It was found that age, nationality, and the coach’s negative personal rapport significantly predicted bullying victimization dynamics among athletes. Bullying perpetration was only predicted by negative personal rapport with the coach but not by any of the individual level predictors. The moderation analysis showed that negative personal rapport with the coach significantly predicted the level of bullying victimization, the age and the nationality of the athlete moderated the relationship between the negative personal rapport and bullying victimization. In other words, the negative personal rapport had a higher effect on bullying victimization for the younger athletes and for international ones. Such findings have the potential to shape the base for further ongoing works, which could underline the critical demand for more emphasis and analysis of nationality, gender, age, and coach’s negative rapport on bullying perpetration or victimization. The significance of the study’s findings, its limits, and potential paths for further interpersonal violence research are addressed.

“…В то же время участие в спорте может вести и к нежелательным последствиям, таким как агрессия, враждебные отношения и поляризация [Morela et al, 2016;Smith, Spaaij, McDonald, 2019]. В некоторых работах отмечалось, что спорт помогает молодым людям справиться с первичным аккультурационным шоком, особенно если тренер поддерживает автономию спортсмена и не стремится его чрезмерно контролировать [Morela et al, 2019].…”

Статья посвящена адаптации мигрантов к городской среде через субкультуру силовых единоборств. Теоретической рамкой анализа выступает теория сегментной ассимиляции, утверждающая, что ассимиляция мигрантов может происходить не только через включение в культурный мейнстрим принимающего общества, но и через свойственные ему суб- и контркультуры. Объектом исследования являются мигранты-дагестанцы в Санкт-Петербурге, представляющие спорт высоких достижений в различных видах силовых единоборств. В отличие от классического анализа в рамках теории сегментной ассимиляции, речь идет о мигрантах первого поколения. Исследование проводилось качественными социологическими методами. Анализ спортивных и постсоревновательных карьер мигрантов демонстрирует, что включенность в силовую субкультуру позволяет спортсменам проще пройти первичный миграционный шок (острую фазу адаптации). В то же время аккумулируемые ими в спорте различные ресурсы (типы капитала) лучше всего конвертируются в продолжение карьеры в околоспортивной сфере, в первую очередь тренерской. Однако подобная успешная карьера требует соответствующего образования, способностей и навыков. Те, кто не связывает постсоревновательную карьеру со спортом, при отсутствии дополнительных ресурсов (в частности, семейного капитала) в основном остаются в низкоресурсной социальной сети, занимаясь малоквалифицированным трудом, а иногда и примыкая к криминальным кругам. Получение качественного высшего образования создает лучшие условия для внеспортивной карьеры, нежели участие в спорте высоких достижений. Благодарность. Статья отражает результаты исследования в рамках НИР Института экономической политики им. Е.Т. Гайдара.
