“…Also, sex-typing of sports was mentioned in Sweden (Koivula 1995(Koivula , 1999, in Norway (Klomsten et al 2005), in Finland (Salminen 1990), or in England (Archer and McDonald 1990). Interestingly, Colley et al (2005) asked English boys and girls from different age groups to draw someone who does a lot of sport. As a whole, a male practicing football was the picture the most drawn especially in adolescents.…”

International audienceIn this research we examined the situational malleability of gender schema and specifically the association between competitive sport and masculinity at the intraindividual level. Based on Deaux and Major's (1987) interactive assumption, we predicted that a competitive sport context would activate the masculine dimension in gender schema. Participants were 64 French undergraduate students who evaluated themselves on the Bem Sex Role Inventory in general, in a competitive sport context, and in a cinema context. In addition to femininity and masculinity scores in each context, response latencies were also collected. The results indicated that participants responded higher and faster on masculine items when the competitive sport context was presented, showing that this association is well anchored in gender schema

“…These differences in participation are inevitably influenced by the stereotyping of male and female physical and psychological attributes. It is possible to place sports on a continuum from the "most masculine" to the "most feminine" on the basis of ratings of "appropriateness" for men and women (Colley et al, 2005).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the physical activity levels of the young adults in Turkey, selected as an example of an economically developing country.A total of 1027 university students voluntarily participated in this study. The sport and household activity indexes of the Physical Activity Assessment Questionnaire (PAAQ) were administered to the subjects. Student t-test showed gender differences in the intensity of the sport activities index (p<0.001). The results of 2 (gender) x 2 (intensity of sport activities) univariate ANOVA revealed significant gender, intensity differences and significant gender x intensity interaction on participation duration in the sports activities. This finding showed that males spent more time in both vigorous and non-vigorous sport activities than females. In terms of the type of engagement in sport activity, the majority of males primarily played soccer, while females had primarily walked. The Student t test revealed gender differences in both the duration of housework and sitting in the house.To conclude, males participated in sport activities with a higher intensity and spent more time on these activities than females. On the other hand, females spent much more time on housework activities and sitting in the house than males.

“…These results can also been explained on basis in Western Cultural Gender Stereotypes, that man have more opportunities to develop physical activities and with these, improve their Physical Self-concept in a higher extent than women (Colley, Berman, & Millingen, 2005; Contreras, Fernández, García, Palou, & Ponseti, 2010). In other words, the process of socialization encourages determined ways of thinking, feeling and acting and depending on being a man or a woman promotes an identity of gender; this explains de development of believes differentiated among men and woman (Cağlar, 2009).…”

Abstract:The purpose of the present study was to compare the profiles of physical self-concept between men and women high school Mexican students. A total sample of 709 participants, 324 women and 385 men, aged 13-19 years participated in this study. A quantitative approach with a descriptive and transversal survey design was used. All the participants completed the Physical Self-Description Questionnaire. Results of the one-way multivariate analysis of variance, followed by the one-way univariate analysis of variance, showed that in comparison among women, men obtained higher scores on the health, coordination, activity, sports competence, strength, flexibility, endurance, global physical self-concept and global self-esteem subscales. However, in the body fat and appearance subscales statistically significant differences were not found because of the differences between men and women in their perception of their physical self-concept, these findings suggest that in order to design any intervention for improving the perceived physical self-concept of the students, the variable gender should be taken into account.
