Abstrakt: The purpose of the study was to examine the influence of parents on children's sport participation, based on expectancy-value model (Eccles et al., 1983) and parents socialization model (Eccles, 1998). The main research question was that whether the influence of parents' expectancy-value beliefs and involvement behaviors to children's expectancy-value beliefs and sport participation was moderated by children's perceived quality of their parents' involvement. Children (N = 275) of grade 2 to 4 from three elementary schools in Taiwan and their parents (N = 417) participated in this study. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted. Predictor variables were parents' expectancy-value beliefs, levels of behavior involvement, and equipment provision. Moderate variables were children's perceived quality of parents' involvement, and criterion variables were children's expectancy-value beliefs and sport participation. Results did not show that the prediction of parents' expectancy-value beliefs and involvement behaviors to children's expectancy-value beliefs was moderated by children's perceived quality of parents' involvement. However, parents' expectancy-value beliefs did predict children's expectancy-value beliefs, and father's behavior involvement, but not mothers', predicted children's expectancy beliefs. Follow-up standard regression analyses for children showed that their perceptions of parents' involvement predicted their expectancy beliefs, and their value beliefs predicted their levels of sport participation.
