| Study Description | The project "Child and Adolescent High-Performance Sports from a Long-Term Perspective" is the third and final data collection stage (D3) of a longitudinal study on athletes (mean age 12.6 years) participating in three selected sports (figure skating, swimming, gymnastics). It began in October 1974 (D1). Basic questions were:
(1) What are the essential characteristics of children/adolescents participating in high performance sports (HPS) compared to "normal" children and adolescents? (2) Does the involvement in the HPS affect the lifestyle of the athlete in positive and negative ways? (3) How does the situation change over a period of 4 years (D2, from September 1978, mean age 16.6 years)? In contrast, at D3 the following issues were of interest: (4) How does the HPS career end? (5) How is the transition from an HPS to a normal, everyday life then accomplished? (6) What is the cause of a premature termination of the HPS career? At the time of survey D3 (1986), not all of the participants (mean age 24) had actually retired from competitive sports. Therefore, at D3 two subsamples are distinguished as: - Already dropped out of HPS (75 subjects) and - Still active in HPS (19 subjects). Accordingly, 3 survey instruments were used: - A general questionnaire (for all subjects), - A "drop-out" questionnaire, and - A "still active" questionnaire. A qualitative methodology had more weight at D3 because of the focus on descriptive goal setting. The 3 questionnaires, therefore, contained many open-ended questions to which the athlete could formulate their respective view in detail, using everyday language and wording. The resulting consequences of this methodology for the data processing and analysis are presented in the methods section. The specific thematic focus of the D3 project corresponds to a specific theoretical foundation. This helps to clarify the issues and to support the detailed planning of the methodological tools. Priority is given to decision theory and transition theory conceptualizations, which in turn are embedded in an overall ecological-psychological perspective. More details concerning this as well as the entire D3 project are available under kigd86ki19_in.txt in the template file. This also includes proposals for possible uses of the data. The primary data for the study are provided in 4 files. Of these, the 3 questionnaires which were used are matched to the files they were used in. The fourth (special) file contains some data from the D2 survey of participants who no longer participated in the investigation at D3. |

| Rating | Subject content and test language of most of the questions are derived from the theoretical framework of project's investigative aim (see section 2 of the dataset comments kigd86ki19_in.txt). Specific topics are addressed several times in successive questions; first, as open as possible semantically, then with increasingly specific semantic specifications. This form resulted, in part, in redundant answers or to the reference of answers given in previous questions. The use of more or less detailed "everyday-language" in answering the more or less open-ended questions created unique problems for data processing and encoding (see section 4 of the dataset comments kigd86ki19_in.txt). |

| Research Instrument | At the time of measurement D3, 3 questionnaires were used (see study description):
1. General questionnaire for the total sample: Questions covering the following topics: • socio-demographic information • "warm-up questions" about high performance sport (HPS) • training, relationship to coach, and physical impairments • due to HPS • influencing on the HPS commitment by other areas of life • HPS career start and overall assessment of HPS • financial burdens and support • significance of HPS commitment in conjunction with lif after HPS • motivation for HPS • importance of public interest on career • limitations of free time due to HPS commitment • education and HPS • free-time activities • time perspective • personality-shaping through the HPS • habitual success/failure-interpretation ("Attribution") • experience of worries and distress • attitude toward performance and performance pressure • advantages and disadvantages due to HPS 2. "Dropouts" questionnaire (subsample of the subjects that ended their HPS career): Questions concerning the following topics: • basic information concerning end of HPS career • initial considerations to end career • concrete implementation of resolve to end career • Further details concerning the end of career • current commitment to sport • difficulties or ease involved in ending career • subjective closure of career • emotional cost of ending HPS career • adjustment following career end • life after HPS • aftermath effects of HPS career • financial security postHPS career • hindsight, overall perspective of HPS, retirement from HPS, and the transition to a life after HPS. 3. HPS-active subjects questionnaire (subsample of the still-active subjects at time D3): Questions concerning the following topics: • future commitment to HPS • main HPS-commitment motivation • outlook toward career end • outlook toward life postHPS career • financial security postHPS career • life postHPS • positive and negative effects of commitment to HPS • retrospective cumulative assessment of HPS commitment • deliberations of HPS phase-out, reactions to these deliberations Mostly freehand answers to relatively "open" questions, a few questions involving rating scales. |

| Subject Recruitment | The recruitment of the sample was done at measurement time points D1 and D2 via the German national trainers and other sports officials involved in figure skating, swimming, and gymnastics. The subjects were paid with 40 DM for their participation. At measurement time point D3, all participants from D2 were asked to participate again.

| Sample Size | 94 subjects |
| Return/Drop Out | Of the 117 proposed athletes, 107 were selected for the investigation and a final 98 athletes took part at D1. Of these, 89 subjects could also be obtained for the D2 survey. Following the same procedure, 53 more athletes were selected to take part at D2, creating a sample size of 142 subjects. Of these 142 subjects, 94 participated in the survey at D3 (8 years later). |

| Data Status | Complete Data Set |
|---|---|
| Original Records | Questionnaire filled out by either the subject or the experimenter containing closed and/or open answers |
| Transformation | The original records were processed in 2 stages. About 60% of all questions of the 3 questionnaires were processed immediately postdata collection by Reinhardt Mayer as part of his dissertation. In the secondary stage, another 30% of the questions (predominantly open questions) were processed by the author with the assistance of Ms. Tanja Niggel. At this point a semantic base was established. Subject's responses were then transferred in a segmented form to a text file in which nearly identical basic units were combined. The resulting groups of basic semantic units were analyzed, differentiated, and developed into basic categories. These basic categories were allocated code numbers. Using these codes numbers data files were created. The code numbers were entered in the same order as the responses were given in the original text. This revealed how many variables had to be considered for each specific question. More specific details are included the explanatory text (kigd86ki19_in.txt).
The resulting 9 data files were (6 from Stage 1, 3 from Stage 2) altered to fit the archive format. While the variable names were retained, 3 new data files were formed that reflect the order of the variables of the questions in the 3 questionnaires (general questionnaire: primary data in kigd86ki19_pd1.txt with the associated code book kigd86ki19_kb1.txt; "dropout" questionnaire: primary data in kigd86ki19_pd2.txt with the associated code book kigd86ki19_kb2.txt, "still active" survey: primary data in kigd86ki19_pd3.txt with the associated code book kigd86ki19_kb3.txt). A few existing data from the D2 survey, which were available to the subjects who declined taking the D3 survey, were placed in a separate data file (primary data kigd86ki19_kb4.txt with the associated code book kigd86ki19_pd4.txt). |
