Impact of Sports Activities on Developing Purpose among College Level Students

Abstract

    The aim of this study was to find out how sports impact students' purpose development. The study comprised all students (N=1197) who engaged in college-level sports activities in Bannu Division. A simple sampling approach was used to select students (N=60) from the population for the study. Data was collected using self-developed questionnaires. SPSS-26 was used to analyse the data. Multiple regressions were used to assess the impact of sports on students' purpose development, and independent sampling t-tests were used to see whether there were any significant differences in the impact of individual and team sports on students' purpose development. It reveals that collegiate sports have a statistically significant impact on students’ purpose development; further, the data prove that team games have a greater impact on students' purpose than individual games.
