Application of Sport-for-Development Theory into Practice: The Manager’s Perspective of Pyeongchang Dream Program in South Korea

Development practitioners and agencies consider sport to play a valuable role in social development; however, the emerging evidence does not yet adequately describe sport’s contribution to social development. Lyras (2009, 2012a) proposed a sport for development theory (SFDT) as a specific model to increase understanding of the processes and conditions involved in sport for development (SFD) programs. In our study, SFD practitioners of the Kicking AIDS Out Network were interviewed to identify project elements perceived as significant for achieving development objectives, and their perceptions were examined in relation to SFDT to test its applicability to their particular development context. The findings suggest SFDT offers an appropriate framework to enhance project design and delivery that integrates the features of sport, education, life skills development, use of leaders as change agents, and participation that are key to Kicking AIDS Out programs and other community sport programs promoting behavior and social change.

The Third World

Development as a paradigm and the theory of social change today is in crisis and fails to apply in various Third World countries. The failure of development in the third world actually occurs in the countries that are considered the most successful and most widely used as examples for other development countries. Namely capitalist countries model of NIC (newly industrialist countries) such as South Korea and Taiwan. Development failures also occur in countries that are modeled as new NIC countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Until now the explanation of various crises has not been completed. There is an explanation that blames the regime's corruption factor as an argument for explaining the rapid fall of capitalism in Asia. Nevertheless, a discourse before the fall of Asian capitalism occurred has begun in the wake of an attempt to repair or reform the system of capitalism. As a process of reform, the approach, ideology, and structure of discourse are not much different from the systems, structures and ideologies that are the foundation of development theory. Discourse that is known globalization.

Time Horizons

Abstract. We investigated the effects of time horizon and age on the socioemotional motives underlying individual’s bucket-list goals. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three time-horizon conditions to make a bucket list: (1) an open-ended time horizon (Study 1 & 2), (2) a 6-month horizon (i.e., “Imagine you have 6 months to live”; Study 1 & 2), and (3) a 1-week horizon (Study 2). Goal motives were coded based on socioemotional selectivity theory and psychosocial development theory. Results indicated that time horizon and age produced unique effects on bucket-list goal motives. Extending past findings on people’s motives considering the end of life, the findings suggest that different time horizons and life stages trigger different motives.
