摘要

休閒與運動社會化的研究，在國內外學術界已經有相當的成果。人們對休閒與運動的培養態度皆認爲是社會學習與社會媒介的產物。然而特殊族群休閒與運動社會化歷程和一般正常人可能會有差異，因爲很多社會化媒介不知道這些特殊族群有那些可接觸運動與休閒的機會。因此本研究的目的在檢視唐氏症兒童在參與游泳競技運動的社會化歷程。本研究乃依循kenyon和McPherson提倡的社會學習典範，採一對一訪談2007年國際唐氏症游泳邀請賽的教練、家長與選手。研究結果發現，多社會媒介環境影響運動社會化甚鉅，家長和同儕組織被視爲重要的社會化媒介，社會化媒介同時也是社會化團體。另外，很多受訪家長同時也指出，社會化團體與媒介對於唐氏症兒童運動參與的不熟悉，顯示特殊族群運動社會化的研究需要更多的關注。

The research on leisure and sport socialization has gained fruitful results from both national and international academic circles. The attitudes people develop towards leisure and sport are considered the result of social learning and social agents. However, the leisure and sport socialization process can probably be different for special populations because many of their social agents are unaware of the leisure and sport opportunities available to them. For this reason, the purpose of the study is to examine the socialization process of children with Down syndrome into swimming contest sport. Based upon the social learning paradigm propelled by Kenyon and McPherson (1973), face-to-face interviews were conducted with coaches, parents and players who participated in 2007 DOWN SYNDROME International Swimming Invitational Tournament. The study found that multiple agents can be influential in the sport socialization process, that parents and peers with Down syndrome are considered important socializing agents and that socializing agents are at the same time socialized groups. Besides, many of the interviewed parents indicated social agents' unfamiliarity with the sports in which children with Down syndrome take part, which shows research on the sport socialization for special populations needs more attention and concern.
