Gender Differences in Perceived Role Conflict among University Student-Athletes
Lance, Larry M.
College Student Journal, v38 n2 p179 Jun 2004
Perceptions of role conflict of university student-athletes were explored, with a focus on differences in perceptions of role conflict between female and male student-athletes. Data were collected from 169 university student-athletes attending a southeastern university using a group administered questionnaire. Analysis of a ten item role conflict index indicated that on only two of the ten items did a majority of the student athletes express role conflict. Female student-athletes generally experienced more role conflict than male student athletes. However, male student-athletes participating in the revenue sport of basketball experienced more role conflict than female student-athletes participating in the non-revenue sport basketball.
