Sport Engagement and Life Satisfaction in Norwegian Children Aged 10–12

Cross-sectional survey data from 46,941 Norwegian children aged 10–12 years, collected via the 2024 Ungdata Junior Survey. The dataset, authored by Erik Grasaas, examines associations between sport participation frequency, active transport, and life satisfaction scores on a 0–10 scale, with analysis stratified by gender.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between sport participation frequency and life satisfaction based on reported scores.
• Investigating gender differences in well-being outcomes based on the stratified analysis.
• Assessing the role of active transport mode on child well-being based on the survey questions.
• Analyzing the influence of socioeconomic status, grade level, and centrality on life satisfaction based on the adjusted regression models.

Strengths

• Large sample size of 46,941 children.
• Life satisfaction measured on a defined 0–10 scale.
• Analysis adjusts for socioeconomic status, grade level, and centrality.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is cross-sectional, limiting causal inference.
