ABSTRACT:
This study compared sex role orientations and attitudes toward women of high school male and female nonathletes, athletes who competed in more aggressive sports, and athletes who competed in less aggressive sports. The sample included 154 male and 222 female students from six Midwestern high schools. For both males and females, differences were found between athletes and nonathletes. Male athletes expressed more stereotypical masculine attributes and more traditional attitudes toward women than did male nonathletes. Female athletes also had higher masculine sex role scores than did female nonathletes, but female athletes did not differ from nonathletes in their attitudes toward women. Neither male nor female participants in more aggressive sports differed significantly from participants in less aggressive sports in sex role orientations or attitudes toward women, indicating that the level of aggressiveness in sports was not instrumental in the socialization of high school athletes.
