“…When discussing young athletes’ morality and values system in sport, the youngsters’ individual differences in fundamental morality should also be considered. A central factor affecting children’s and adolescents’ development of morality is the family environment, with parents specifically playing the most important role in this issue ( Smetana, 2015 ). Through socialization processes, parents impart the habits, values, and norms congruent with adaptation to their culture ( Baumrind, 1980 ) which shape and construct their moral knowledge.…”

“…As the primary caregivers and raisers who spend most time with the child and closest to them, parents normally serve as the main socialization agents whose role in the child’s moral development is crucial. Parents are also central in the context of moral development due to their affective relationship with their children and their responsibility to educate and discipline them while instilling moral values ( Wainryb and Recchia, 2014 ; Smetana, 2015 ). They convey moral values via both cognitive and affective components ( Smetana, 1999 ) that underlie the family’s social interactions and parent-child relationships.…”

Given the great importance of morality and values in modern sports, especially among young athletes, in this pilot study, we sought to broaden the exploration of the factors that may play role in these contexts, which have not been widely researched to date. Accordingly, the study tested the relationships between sport type (team or individual) and parenting styles (authoritative vs. non-authoritative), and moral decision-making in sport and sport values among 110 adolescent athletes whose age ranges from 11 to 22 (M = 16.04, SD = 2.86). The findings indicated that participants with authoritative parents, as compared to those with non-authoritative parents, are significantly less accepting of cheating in sport, while they also tend more to keep winning in proportion and hold significantly stronger moral values toward sports. Moreover, participants whose main sport is a team sport type tend to accept more cheating and gamesmanship than participants whose main sport is an individualistic sport type. While no differences were recorded between these groups in moral values, team athletes tend to value status in sport more than individual athletes, while the latter tend to value competence regarding their sport. The implications of the findings are discussed in light of no interaction between the effects of parenting styles and sport type on moral and sport values.

“…One context in which parent-child discourse is particularly relevant is when co-viewing of media occurs and parents discuss moral themes in media programs (Recchia, Wainryb, Bourne, & Pasupathi, 2014;Smetana, 2015). Understanding parents' discourse in this context is important given that children spend several hours each day using media and parents play a major role in child media monitoring early in development (Rideout, 2016).…”

Early conversations are an important source in shaping children's cognitive and emotional development, and it is vital to understand how parents use media as a platform to engage in conversations with their young children and what might predict the quality of these interactions. Thus, in the current study we explored the nature of parent–child discourse while engaging in media (i.e., joint media engagement) with infants, and how parent (empathic concern and responsiveness) and child (negative emotionality and regulatory capacity) variables might be associated with the quality of engagement. The current study consisted of 269 infants (50% female, Mage = 17.09 months, SD = 3.93; 59% White) and their primary caregiver (98% mothers) who engaged in a variety of in‐home tasks and parental questionnaires. Results established three meaningful codes for both parent and child that assessed positive and negative joint media engagement. Further, results suggested that parental empathic concern was associated with positive parent and child media engagement, while child negative emotionality was associated with lower levels of distraction. Discussion focuses on the importance of studying parent–child discourse in the context of joint media engagement and recommends limiting media exposure before 18 months of age.
