ABSTRACT:
This study used gender schema theory to investigate previously reported negative evaluations of women athletes. University students rated themselves on the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) after which they were assigned one of six target persons (e.g. ideal male athlete, ideal male person, ideal female athlete, ideal female person, ideal person, ideal athlete) for which they were to list as many characteristics as they could, after which they completed a BSRI for that target person. Results indicated a distinct ideal athlete schema which is smaller in size than our ideal person schema. The analyses indicated no differences between sex-typed and non-sex-typed raters. Analyses supported hypotheses predicting ideal athletes as being perceived to be more masculine than ideal persons, and ideal male persons as more masculine than ideal female persons. Ideal female athletes were perceived to be equally masculine to ideal male athletes, whereas, ideal female persons were considered much less masculine than ideal male persons.
