- W19376402 abstract "Over the last forty years, immigration and higher fertility rates among some, mostly visible, minorities have changed the composition of the American society. Due to the rapid growth of minority groups in California, Whites now account for less than half of the state's population. New immigrants are known to predominantly settle in major urban centers and to create communities quite distinct from the mainstream population in terms of their cultural background, social norms, family structure, as well as recreation and sport participation patterns (Alba & Nee, 1997). In recent years, states such as Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Utah, where the jobs were more available, saw the number of immigrants more than double (Pollard & O'Hare, 1999).It is well documented that ethnic and racial background influences a variety of issues related to sport, leisure and recreation behavior (Coakley, 2001; Henderson & Ainsworth, 2001; Hutchison, 1987; Juniu, 2000; Tirone & Shaw, 1997). Significant differences have been observed in terms of recreational sport participation patterns and preferences among ethnic minority groups (Gobster, 1998; Grey, 1992; Taylor & Toohey, 1996). Moreover, it has been suggested that members of ethnic minorities are among the most disadvantaged in terms of recreational sport participation (Coakley, 2001). Although interest in leisure and sport among culturally distinct groups has been increasing, research on issues related to their recreational sport behavior1 is still limited (Coakley, 2001; Henderson & Ainsworth, 2001). While the majority of studies that tackled the issues of ethnicity, race and sport have focused on African Americans, research on recreational sport participation of Asian Americans and White ethnics is very rare. Most work on the topic has focused on ethnic minority groups in the context of school, college and professional sports (e.g., Coakley, 2001; Fleming, 1991; Melnick & Sabo, 1994; Brown & Bear, 1999; Washington & Karen, 2001). Studies have also investigated under-representation of ethnic minorities in the sport job market (e.g., Eitzen, 1999; Washington & Karen, 2001). Moreover, some interest in the role of sport in the adaptation of ethnic minorities has been shown in the sports literature since the beginning of the 1980s. In her early works, Allison (1979b; 1982) suggested that Gordon's (1964) assimilation theory constituted an appropriate framework for studying recreational sport behavior of ethnic and racial minorities, while other, more recent studies (e.g., Eisen, 1994; Wilcox, 1994) have shown that members of minority groups use recreational sporting activities to maintain and revive their ethnic identity. Coakley (2001) suggested that further research is required in order to better understand this complex phenomenon in the context of sport and recreation behavior and to identify factors that affect the decisions minority people make regarding their participation in recreational sporting activities.This project focuses on the experiences of first generation immigrants from two ethnic groups-Korean and Polish residing in metro Chicago and Champaign-Urbana areas. Poles and Koreans have been selected since they represent two major ethnic groups with distinct cultural backgrounds and come from two distinct geographic source areas of immigration to the U.S. (i.e., Asia and Europe). Poles are the second largest immigrant group in the metropolitan Chicago (second only to Mexicans), while Koreans are also one of the largest Asian groups in the region. Our goal was to select groups of comparable socio-economic status and history of adaptation in the United States to allow for meaningful comparisons. While Koreans and Poles have significantly distinct cultural backgrounds, the socio-economic structure of these groups is comparable as they both include many urban, highly educated, middle class individuals who exhibit significant upward mobility after immigration (Erdmans, 1996; Jo, 9 1999; Mostwin, 1991). …" @default.
