ABSTRACT:
The principal hypothesis of this study was that a male high school basketball official would be perceived as more competent than would a female official. A four factor mixed analysis of variance design was used to manipulate gender of official, status of official, gender of game, and gender of respondent. One hundred and seventy-one students were given demographic data and a completed game evaluation form and were asked to rate the competence of a basketball official to officiate a men's and a women's high school game. Results did not support the principal hypothesis. However, a clear finding was that the low status female official was rated as more competent to officiate a women's game than a men's game (p < .001). Implications of this finding in terms of the status of the high school women's game and the evaluation of female high school officials are discussed along with suggestions for further research.
