Abstract

This study investigated whether sport may still be regarded as a domain dominated by men and how this male norm may influence the sex categorization of athletes. In study 1, participants were presented with a male or female athlete picture that was accompanied by a newspaper article. Three sports were used: ice skating, rugby and badminton. After reading the article, participants were asked to categorize the gender of the athlete with the BSRI of Bem, S.L. (1974). Measurement of psychological androgyny. Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology , 42, 155–162. Doi: 10.1037/h0036215. All athletes were perceived high on the masculinity dimension and only the evaluation of the feminine dimension varied according to the type of sport (masculine or feminine), suggesting a cognitive asymmetry. To confirm this hypothesis, participants were asked to describe as accurately as possible a picture of an athlete on an open-ended item (study 2). The results confirmed the cognitive asymmetry hypothesis. Together, these findings show how social asymmetry interacts with sporting cues to shape person categorization.

社会判断、运动和性别:认知不对称?

本研究调查了体育是否仍然被视为男性主导的领域，以及这种男性规范如何影响运动员的性别分类。在研究1中，研究人员向参与者展示了一张男性或女性运动员的照片，并附上了一篇报纸文章。比赛项目有三种:滑冰、橄榄球和羽毛球。在阅读完文章后，参与者被要求用Bem, S.L.(1974)的BSRI对运动员的性别进行分类。心理双性同体的测量。心理咨询与临床心理学杂志，42,155-162。Doi: 10.1037 / h0036215。所有运动员的男性气质维度都被认为很高，只有女性气质维度的评价根据运动类型(男性化或女性化)而有所不同，这表明认知不对称。为了证实这一假设，参与者被要求尽可能准确地描述一个开放式项目上的运动员的照片(研究2)。结果证实了认知不对称假说。总之，这些发现表明了社会不对称如何与运动线索相互作用，从而塑造了人的分类。
