Sažetak
The purpose of this study was to examine potential differences between two generations of students in attitude changes towards sailing under the influence of the superb achievements of the Croatian sailors in Rio de Janeiro. We included 189 young adult participants (75 women and 114 men), inexperienced in sailing and mostly from the mainland, who anonymously and voluntarily filled out a previously validated Lickert scale-type questionnaire related to their attitudes towards sailing between the Olympic Games. Superb achievements of the Croatian sailors in Rio de Janeiro did not relate to the attitude change between the groups (p=.83) as well as when the scores were analyzed separately for the male (p=.47) and female sailing beginners (p=.18). Although Group 2 had a more positive attitude towards sailing, as well as the women in the same group, statistical significance was not found. Bigger media coverage due to Olympic Games and superb sport results have not related to the attitude change towards sailing, unlike the sailing school which has had a positive influence on the formation of attitude. The specificity of sailing and the huge differences between recreational and professional sailing obviously do not define the observer’s attitude towards the sport, unlike active participation in an organised sailing school when such an attitude is clearly being built. The goal of future studies should be to research the influence of targeted interventions for the promotion of the sailing sport results and sailing lessons, to evaluate the influence of such activities with such a highly reliable measuring instrument.
