ABSTRACT:
Examines the influence of sex and sex-role orientation on the perceptions of cohesion held by intercollegiate basketball players. Male (n=71) and female (n=61) athletes from 13 NCAA institutions complete the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) and the Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ). Subjects also rate items on the GEQ with respect to their importance to a positive team atmosphere. Results indicate that the cohesion scores of the athletes are differentiated by sex, with female team members having higher levels of cohesion than their male counterparts. Finds that perceived importance of the various cohesion components is a function of sex-role orientation, with feminine and androgynous subjects attributing more importance to group integration than undifferentiated and (to some extent) masculine subjects.
