ABSTRACT:
This study sought to determine whether values held by physical education majors toward women's participation in selected sports (basketball & tennis) were different than for men's participation in those same sports. A secondary purpose of the study was to determine whether the subject's sex produced a difference in responses. 161 subjects completed a modified (sport specific) version of Kenyon's ATPA inventory and indicated the extent to which they valued the participation of men and women players in tennis and basketball as ascetic and aesthetic experiences. The ascetic and aesthetic subdomains were ovaluated as they closely resemble the Metheny classification of 'appropriateness' of a sport for women. Analysis of variance procedures were used to determine the effects of the subject's sex upon each subdomain and each sport. While men's basketball was, as expected, the most highly valued for ascetic experience, both women's sports ranked low on this subdomain. Men's tennis was valued highest for aesthetic experience while women's basketball was valued lowest. In all cases the subject's sex produced no effect. The results confirm recent research which indicated that norms of appropriateness are still evident and that they are equally held by both sexes.
