The aim of the research was to compare adolescents, both active and inactive in the field of sports, in terms of perceived parental attitudes and hope for a success, and to determine the mutual relations between the mentioned variables in sport-active boys and girls. The participants of the study were 98 students (50 from a sports school and 48 from a general secondary school) at the age of 16-19. In the study the Parental Attitude Scale (SPR-2; Plopa, 2012) and the Questionnaire of Hope for a Success (KNS; Łaguna,Trzebiński, Zięba, 2005) were used. The sport-active students differed from their inactive peers in terms of the perceived parental attitude of acceptance, autonomy and inconsequence of mother and father and the willpower. The perceived attitudes were significantly related to the hope for a success and its two components, the waypower and willpower, only in the group of sport-active boys. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
