PARTICULARITIES OF FORMING A SPORTS GROUP WITHIN THE LOCK-UP ENVIRONMENT
Journal Title: CITIUS ALTIUS FORTIUS - JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORT - Year 2009, Vol 24, Issue 3
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the interpersonal relationships within a sports group formed in the lock-up environment in order to reeducate the convicts by observing the sports norms and rules. Using a sociometric method, the quiz has been used for a group of 15 convicts volunteered for educational and recreational sporting activities (e.g. football) developed within the “Popa Spaca” Maximum Security Prison from Timisoara. By means of the sociomatrix and sociogram, it has been calculated the sociometric indexes, measuring various types of existing relationships as well as the positions held by the subjects. One feature of this group is that of being an informal group, or is determining the election of an informal leader on the ground of sporting abilities and knowledge, the group operating as a formal leader, elected by the larger group of convicts. But on the sports field, the formal leader of the group accepts another leader and participates together with him at the activities and football games. The primary group has a cohesion which allows it to function but also to create a sporting identity, determining its classification in the affiliation group for the most of the participating subjects but also the possibility for it to be a reference group for the non participating convicts at the sporting activities.
