Abstract | The purpose of the study was to examine the perceived benefits of intramural sports participation for full-time undergraduate students at Oklahoma State University. The survey instrument used for this study was the Artinger et al. (2006) Social Benefits Questionnaire. Of the 220 participants, 59.1% were male (n = 130) and 40.5% were female (n = 89) (with one student indicating other) while 64.5% lived off-campus (n = 142) and 34.5% lived on-campus in spring of 2016 (n = 76). An independent sample t-test revealed there was a significant difference in the perceived benefits between male and female students, t(216) = -2.96, p < 0.01, with female students reporting higher mean scores for the social benefits statements than male students. The sum of the female students (n = 89) mean scores was 90.16 (out of a possible 115, SD = 10.712) and the sum of the male students (n = 130) mean scores was 85.92 (out of a possible 115, SD = 10.124). An independent sample t-test between male students and female students revealed there were significant differences for six of the social benefits statements. An independent sample t-test showed there was a moderate significant difference between students who lived on-campus and students who lived off-campus, t(215) = -2.09, p < 0.05, with students who lived on-campus reporting higher mean scores. An independent sample t-test between students who lived on-campus and students who lived off-campus revealed that there was a significant difference for one of the social benefits statements, "Improves my leadership abilities" t(216) = 1.442, p < 0.05. A two-way ANOVA was conducted to determine significant differences in perceived benefits between female students who lived on-campus and female students who lived off-campus. Twelve social benefits statements were considered statistically significant at the p < 0.05 level or lower. A two-way ANOVA did not report any statistically significant differences between male students who lived on-campus and male students who lived off-campus.
