Email: [email protected] The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between sport participation and school defined deviance in eighth grade adolescents. Building upon the previous sport participation literature and utilizing Hirschi’s social bond theory to inform variable selection procedures, analysis of the relationship is measured with mediating student, family, and school variables extracted from the National Education Longitudinal Survey. After a brief discussion of the previous sport participation literature, theoretical framework used, methodology, research design, and measures, the results reveal sport participation had a slight impact upon adolescent deviance. The analysis supports the ideas that there are statistically significant differences between athletes and non-athletes in regards to certain characteristics (informed by social bond theory) that influence deviant behavior. In addition, logistic regression shows that while sport participation does have a moderate impact upon adolescent deviance, it could be other social bond characteristics, such as family characteristics, have a greater impact upon deviant behavior. Current research limitations and future directions are discussed.

Improved transformed deviance statistic for testing a logistic regression model
In logistic regression models, we consider the deviance statistic (the log likelihood ratio statistic) D as a goodness-of-fit test statistic. In this paper, we show the derivation of an expression of asymptotic expansion for the distribution of D under a null hypothesis. Using the continuous term of the expression, we obtain Bartlett-type transformed statistic D̃ that improves the speed of conve...

Aitkin recently proposed an integrated Bayesian/likelihood approach that he claims is general and simple. We have applied this method, which does not rely on informative prior probabilities or large-sample results, to investigate the evidence of association between disease and the 16 variants in the KDR gene provided by Genetic Analysis Workshop 17. Based on the likelihood of logistic regressio...

Workplace deviance is indeed an issue for any organization. Many researchers have endeavored to explore different predictors to control this problem. However, managerial coaching can be seen as a leading managerial practice to address this issue within the organizations. Using the LMX theory, a model was developed to explore the direct relationship between managerial coaching and workplace devi...

We introduce functional logistic discriminant analysis (FLDA) which is an extension of the classical method of logistic discriminant analysis to data where predictor variables are functions or curves. FLDA approach can effectively classify functions into two distinct classes by imposing smoothness constraint on the predictor functions and coefficient function by radial basis function expansion ...

BACKGROUND Iron supplementation through prenatal care remains the most widespread strategy to control anemia during pregnancy, but its effectiveness is only partial, showing the need to address other approaches. OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to measure the impact of a positive deviance approach to improve an iron-supplementation program among pregnant women in a rural Senegalese area. ...
