Research Abstract

The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between primary/ secondary sports involvement and social stratification of adults.
Data were collected from 881 adults in four cities in Miyagi prefecture. The main results were summarized as follows: 1. As a result of cluster analysis of four status variables ( occupational prestige, academic career, annual income and life style ), 815 sample cases were divided into six stratificational clusters. These were the upper and the lower stratum in Japan, and four middle strata having various status patterns. 2. There were not stratificational differences in adults participation in gymnastics and simple ball games of men and dance of women. 3. But, at various sports using facilities, outdoor sports and athletic sports, the participation ratio of the upper and its starting stratum was very high, and that of the lower was extremely low. Therefore it could be pointed out that socio-economic factors were very important conditions of primary sports involvement. 4. In terms of secondary sport involvement, TV programs of sports news and professional baseball were looked at well regardless social status or social stratification. 5. But tv attention of O^^-zumo^^-, golf and pro-wrestling was closely connected with age or social stratification.
