Playing heavy-contact sports was also positively associated with ever committing violence. Thus, it seems that organized youth (& adult) sport participation is not a very effective social control for violent behavior. In fact, sports may commonly encourage violent behaviors.

New @NSASS2017 research by @emnothn and Chris Knoester on sports participation over the life course and the likelihood of committing acts of violence, published in @SSJ_Journal.

Subsequent results revealed that playing org youth sport and dropping out was uniquely and positively associated with ever committing violence. Associations with recent violence were apparently being driven by youth who first played organized sports during their teenage years.

d) Finally, @LeeLower1 received Departmental seed funding to begin work on a National Disability & Sport Project, starting w/ 20 in-depth interviews & quantitative data analyses of @NSASS2017 respondents. Kelly Tanner & @ChrrOSU are supporting this exciting & important project.

A new study from the Ohio State University shows having a religious affiliation generally doesn't stop people from sports betting. https://t.co/7Q3co0BXVq

[@NSASS2017 @NSASS2017]

Need to continue to seek to understand how religiosity & gender shape behaviors—including risky behaviors. Moreover, trace how sports gambling, and its connections to religiosity & gender, has changed with the apparent & dramatic increase in sports gambling in more recent years.

New research by @LauraUpenieks & Chris Knoester on religiosity, gender, & sports gambling published in @SSJ_Journal. Finds modest levels of sports gambling around Supreme Court’s overturning of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA).

Suggests, sports gambling was relatively common & low stakes in '18ish. Religiosity did not automatically curb sports gambling. Instead, interacted w/ gender & denomination id's, w/ Catholic men & occasional attendees being particularly likely to gamble.

[Ohio State News @OhioStateNews]

People who infrequently attend religious services are more likely to gamble on sports than people who attend services at least weekly or who never worship publicly, a new @OhioState study has found. @ASCatOSU https://t.co/eHLY3ixe1F

Enjoyed speaking with @gailcornwall for her @TIME feature on changes in youth sports! Nice to see integration of research by Chris Knoester and @chrisbjork6 as sourcing for her analysis, too. @ChrrOSU @ASCatOSU @SportsSociety

Pickup basketball and neighborhood kickball are less common now than for generations past, giving way to more organized and formal youth sports intended to help kids get ahead, a new @OhioState study suggests. @ASCatOSU https://t.co/DpyvT9dF6n
