- Abstract
Introduction: practising sport contributes to the reinforcement of important psychological features such as self-perception of competence, especially when participants are children from socially vulnerable contexts. Objective: to compare the socially vulnerable children's self-perception of competence, assisted and unassisted by social sports projects. Method: a total of 235 children (male and female), aged between seven and ten years, participated in this comparative study. They were divided into two groups: one group was formed by 106 children participating in social sports projects; the other was 129 children who did not participate in social sports projects. The self-perception of competence was assessed by the Brazilian version of the Self-Perception Profile for Children. We used a three-way ANOVA to assess the possible interaction effect between gender, age and group (children assisted and unassisted) in the different dimensions of perceived competence. Results: The children attending sports projects reported higher overall global self-worth (F1.234) = 6,132, p = 0.014, η² = 0.026). It was observed that there was an effect of interaction between the variable age x group (F1,234) = 6.673, p = 0.010, η² = 0.029) on the self-perception of social acceptance. There were no significant effects of group on the other dimensions of self-perception of competence. Conclusion: the children participating in social sports projects showed more self-perception in terms of social acceptance and self-concept compared to non participatory children. This project does not help in other dimensions of self-perception.
