Unlocking potential? The impact of a soccer intervention on social-educational outcomes in a German prison

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This experimental field study investigated the social-educational outcomes of a six-week soccer intervention in a German prison. Before and after the intervention, social integration and social self-efficacy expectations were assessed in the intervention (n = 11) and control group (n = 10). Within the intervention group, group cohesion was assessed after the first and last session. The results of analyses of variances revealed a significant positive interaction effect of time × group for social integration, indicating an increase in the intervention group in the post-test. For group cohesion, the dimension of social group integration increased significantly from pre- to post-tests.
