The purpose of this study was to examine parent-child interactions that took place in sport versus non-sport settings, and explore whether this context detracts from or aids in parent-child communication and relational satisfaction. Parent-child pairs (N = 82; youth 11–14 years) involved in a club or local/seasonal sport completed a survey assessing their quality of communication and relationship satisfaction. In general, parents' and children's perceptions of their quality of communication were consistent with one another. Although participants reported high levels of quality of communication and satisfaction with their parent-child relationship overall, parents and youth collectively reported greater levels of quality of communication in sport settings compared to non-sport settings. Additionally, the perceived satisfaction that participants experienced in sport and non-sport settings was highly correlated to the quality of communication present in their relationship. Finally, no differences in parent-child quality of communication and relationship satisfaction were found between club and local/seasonal sport participation.
