摘要

虽然性别歧视已经被认为是体育运动中的一个问题，但它对英国女性运动心理学家的影响尚未得到调查。本研究的目的是探讨性别歧视的影响及其对实践的影响。进行了四个半结构化的焦点小组，包括11名在英国工作的运动心理学家。主题分析揭示了四个主题:环境、男性特权、性别歧视行为和女性。参与者的话语表明，女性运动心理学家在工作场所受到性别歧视的影响。性别权力差异，加上运动心理学在体育运动中的地位低下，加剧了女性运动心理学家面临的挑战。本研究有助于弥补性别歧视对运动心理学家影响研究的不足。就实践意义提出了建议。

“Women Are Cancer, You Shouldn’t Be Working in Sport”: Sport Psychologists’ Lived Experiences of Sexism in Sport

Though sexism has been recognized as problematic in sport, its impact on female sport psychologists in the United Kingdom has not yet been investigated. The purpose of this research was to explore the impact of sexism and its influence on practice. Four semistructured focus groups were conducted, comprising 11 sport psychologists who worked in the United Kingdom. Thematic analysis revealed four general themes: the environment, privileging masculinity, acts of sexism, and the feminine. Participants’ discourse suggests that female sport psychologists are impacted by sexism in their workplaces. Gendered power differentials, coupled with the low status of sport psychology within sport, exacerbated the challenges faced by female sport psychologists. This study contributes to making up for the dearth of research on the impact of sexism on sport psychologists. Suggestions are made with regard to implications for practice.
