ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between identification with the athlete role and the endorsement of masculine and feminine gender role orientations. Four hundred and nine students at a small, Midwestern university completed the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS) and the Bem Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI). Participants were classified as either high or low athlete identifiers based on their AIMS scores. High and low athlete identifiers and athlete and nonathletes reported similar endorsement patterns of masculinity and femininity. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient indicated that athletic identity was positively correlated with masculinity and negatively correlated with femininity. Women and nonathletes reported higher correlations between athletic identity and masculinity than did males and athlete. One-way ANOVA revealed that masculine persons reported higher levels of athletic identity than did undifferentiated or feminine persons.
