Abstract
Aim: The aim of present study was to compare the social support among individual, team and dual sports athletes. Methodology: For this purpose, the investigators had selected one hundred eighty (Individual sport=60, Team sport=60, Dual sport=60) male inter-college individual, team and dual sports athletes between the age 17-28 years as subjects. All the subjects were assessed for social support with the help of Social Support Questionnaire given by Zimet et al. (1988). Results: One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that the individual, team and dual sport athletes had significant differences on the sub-variables family (p<0.05) and friends (p<0.05). The LSD post-hoc analysis revealed that the team sport athletes were significantly better than the dual (p<0.05) and individual (p<0.05) sport athletes on the sub-variable family whereas the individual sport athletes were significantly better than the team (p<0.05) and dual (p<0.05) sport athletes on the sub-variable friends. Conclusions: The individual, team and dual sport athletes were differed on the sub-variables family and friends. But no significant differences were reported among individual, team and dual sport athletes on social support (total)..
