研究の概要(英文)：The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between involvement in children's sports activities and social capital in the localcommunity among parents of children who visit the Kawasaki-city Hosei Tomahawks Club.Participants included fifty-seven parents (twentynine fathers and twenty-eight mothers) who were members of the Kawasaki-city Hosei Tomahawks Club. We used a questionnaire for this crosssectional investigation. The Research Ethics Committee of the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Letters, Hosei University and Major of Psychology, Hosei University Graduate School approved this study. Findings revealed the following associations:"interaction with others in one's community" was associated with "trust in common people," "interaction with one's family members" was associated with "relationship with friends," "health and fun" was associated with "trust in common people," "solicitation from family members" was associated with "relationship with colleagues," "solicitation from others" was associated with "relationship with colleagues," and "contact with one's children" was associated with "relationship with friends." It was found that parents who considered it beneficial to interact with others outside the family by participating in children's sports activities tended to trust common people. With reference tothe opportunity to participate in their children'ssports activities, it was indicated that parents who were more focused on solicitation of others, including family members, would be positive about building relationships with colleagues. However, it was observed that parents who interacted with their children during participation in their sports activities might not be positive about socializing with friends.
