Post-Title IX sport research expanded its focus to include women and girls, but often overlooked minorities and those residing in rural areas. This session will be a compendium of commonly-themed studies by the researcher and his team. Focus will be on minority adolescent girls, both rural and urban dwelling, and examine the impact of sports participation on: 1) self-esteem; 2) victimization; 3) violent behaviors; and 4) victimization with multidimensional self-esteem as a mediator.
