Abstract
The purpose of this study was to establish the association between parental child-rearing attitudes and sport leadership. An abridged version of Hereford's 1963 Parent-Attitude Survey was completed by 190 parents. No significant differences between attitudes of parents of sport leaders and those of nonleaders were observed on subscales for acceptance, understanding, and trust. It is concluded that the development of sport leadership is not related to such differences in home environment.
