ABSTRACT:
The present study tested whether there were significant sport competition anxiety differences among sex-typed, androgynous, and cross sex-typed subjects and whether these differences were consistent with gender schema theory. Approximately 700 subjects were administered the Bem Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI) and, using two methods of scoring, 216 subjects were selected because of either being sex-typed (masculine males, feminine females), cross sex-typed (masculine females, feminine males), or adrogynous (males and females who have strong masculine and feminine dimensions). Each subject was tested for competition anxiety using the Sport Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT). A one-way ANOVA of SCAT scores by group was significant. Post-hoc analysis revealed that feminine females had significantly more competitive trait anxiety than all other groups and androgynous females were more anxious than masculine males. The results are discussed in terms of gender schema theory. Investigates differences in sport competition anxiety among sex-typed, androgynous, and cross sex-typed individuals, and explores whether these differences are consistent with gender schema theory. Approximately 700 subjects respond to the Bem Sex-Role Inventory and the Sport Competition Anxiety Test, and 216 of these subjects are classified as either sex-typed (masculine males and feminine females), cross sex-typed (masculine females and feminine males), or androgynous (males and females who have strong masculine and feminine dimensions). Finds that feminine females have significantly more competitive trait anxiety than all other groups, and that androgynous females are more anxious than masculine males. Discusses the results in terms of gender schema theory.
