• Peer motivational climate and burnout perceptions in adolescent athletes (2010, background): “As such, peers have potential to be of considerable motivational salience to young athletes (Smith, 2003, 2007; Weiss & Stuntz, 2004) and the peercreated motivational climate would seem particularly important to examine in investigations of motivational phenomena (Ntoumanis, Vazou, & Duda, 2007).”
• Examining Adolescent Sport Dropout and Prolonged Engagement from a Developmental Perspective (2008, background): “Despite limited investigation of peers in youth sport contexts, Smith (2003) suggested that peer relationships play an important role in youth sports, as peers have been linked to youths’ sense of physical competence, their moral attitudes, and other affective outcomes.”
