Sport und Selbstkonzept I

For a long time, sports have been attributed with a beneficial effect on self-concept, especially in childhood and adolescence. However, the corresponding scientific findings have now become extensive and convoluted. This textbook provides a concise overview of research on sport-related self-concept and its theoretical and empirical outcomes. The focus of this first volume is a clear presentation of the multidimensional model of self-concept and its development, as well as its significance for sports engagement.
