North American Research of Athletes and Mannerly Behavior

North American Research Project of Athletes and Manners

Thank you for being a part of this research of how athletes view and use mannerly behaviors. 

To help you complete this survey, here is a definition of manners:
Mannerly behavior is defined not only in terms of table etiquette or table manners.
Mannerly behavior is the way in which you live out your life through your interaction with your team mates, your coach, your opponents, the officials and referees, your family and friends, and the public.


Thank you for taking the time to be a part of the survey.
