Dezavantajlı koşullarda yaşayan gençlerin, spor etkinliklerinde yer almalarının yaşamlarına yansımalarını anlama amacını taşıyan bu çalışma, nitel araştırma deseniyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu doğrultuda öncelikle on iki gönüllü genç kızdan oluşan bir odak grup çalışması yapılmış, ardından bunların içinden yine gönüllü olan yedi genç kız ile yarı yapılandırılmış derinlemesine görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Odak grup çalışmasından ve yarı yapılandırılmış derinlemesine görüşmelerden elde edilen veriler, araştırmacıların kendileri tarafından çözümlenmiştir. Bu analiz sonucunda ortaya çıkan ana temalar gençlerin spor etkinliklerine ilişkin algıları, gençlerin bireysel gelişimleri ve gençlerin aileleri, arkadaşları ve sosyal çevreleri ile ilişkileridir. Araştırmada ortaya çıkan bu ana temalar, olumlu gençlik gelişimi yaklaşımında yer alan yetkinlik, güven, karakter, bağ, önemseme ve şefkat gösterme kavramları açısından ele alınmış ve araştırma, dezavantajlı koşullarda yaşayan gençlerin yaşamlarında spor etkinliklerinin yerine ilişkin önerilerle sonlandırılmıştır. Yapılan analiz sonucunda spor etkinliklerine katılan gençlerin çevrelerindeki bireylerle kurdukları ilişkilerde bağlarının güçlendiği, ailelerinin ve çevrelerinin olumlu tutum ve davranışlarının da özgüvenlerine katkıda bulunduğu görülmüştür.
