Denna studies syfte är att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan föräldrars attityder (krav, förväntningar och stöd) till ungdomars idrottande och ungdomarnas upplevelse av negativ stress. Studien utgår från Karaseks och Theorells (1990) krav-kontrollmodell som beskriver förhållandet mellan upplevda krav och upplevd kontroll som avgörande för hur individens situation upplevs och om den leder till positiv eller negativ stress. Enkäter delades ut till föräldrar (n=77) och ungdomar (n=77) inom olika idrottsförbund. Resultatet visar att föräldrarnas attityder är positiva och att ungdomarnas upplevelse av stress är låg. Inget samband påträffades mellan föräldrarnas attityder och ungdomarnas upplevelse av negativ stress inom idrottandet.
