Aim: The aim of this research is to investigate the relation between different behaviours of parental involvement of mothers and fathers in sport, and reflection in elite youth athletes in the age of 13-18 year. Method: 128 youth elite team sport athletes (mean age 15.2 ±1.6) filled in the Parental Involvement in Sport Questionnaire (PISQ) and Self- Regulated Learning – Self-Report Scale (SRL-SRS). Pearson correlations were calculated and a structural equation model was built in LISREL. Results: Supportive Behaviour of mothers has the highest influence on Reflection (factor loading = .21). The explained variance of the created model is 11% (R2 = .11). Behaviour of fathers is higher for Directive Behaviour and Pressure (p < .001), although the correlations with Reflection is higher for mothers (DBmothers: r = .193, DBfathers: r = .138, PRmothers: r = .091 and PRfathers: r = .051). Conclusion and discussion: Differences in behaviour of mothers and fathers are shown. Low to moderate scores on Directive Behaviour are likely to be more effective in the development of reflection than higher scores. For Pressure no relation is found with Reflection (p > .05). Supportive Behaviour of mothers is of the measured parental involvements the most important for the development of Reflection in youth elite athletes.
