While there has been considerable growth in the success and involvement of women athletes in all levels of sport, the opportunity to participate is not enough to guarantee equality in the field of athletics. In society, one must have a voice that is not only heard but is considered credible. This voice is considered sport media, and the right of women to own a place in the field of sport media is as important as their right to participate in professional sport (Staurowsky & DiManno, 2002). While the appearance of women behind the sportscasters desk has grown in both local and network markets, are they deemed less credible than their male counterparts? This study was designed to explore the impact of attractiveness and knowledge in the formation of impressions of credibility of male and female sportscasters. Using a repeated measures analysis of variance, the findings illustrated that a sex stereotype does indeed exist concerning the perceptions of credibility regarding male and female sportscasters. Even the most attractive and most knowledgeable female sportscaster can't overcome the stereotype of another pretty face who cannot talk sports. Her sex prevents her from being judged as credible as the least attractive and least knowledgeable male sportscaster. Implications of these findings and suggestions for future research are discussed. / Master of Arts

This study was designed to explore the differences in the perception of sex role stereotypes in by 210 undergraduate physical education and sport students (from Metu, Gazi, Hacettepe, Ankara, BaSkent) for successful middle manager, for successful middle male manager, and successful middle female manager among female and male subjects through the administration of Schein Descriptive Index (SDI) and to provide a comprehensive look at the requsite managerial caharacteristics for male and female managers.as a reult, Skilled in Business Matter, Competitive, Component, Speedy Recovery From Emotional Disturbance, Ambitious,Aware of Feelings of Others, Objective, Helpful, Well-informed items means of successful middle manager was significantly different than the means of successful middle women managers for females.Ambitious, Leadership Ability, Well-informed, Skilled in Business Matter, Intelligent, Logical, Analytical Ability, Able to Separate Feelings From Ideas items means of successful middle manager was significantly different than the means of successful middle women managers for males. Moreover, male and female subjects seem to value almost similar characteristics as &quot / Characteristics&quot / and &quot / Not Characteristics&quot / . results indicated that, women were not rated as successful manager amd managerial characteristics were seen to characteristics of successful middle manager, more than successful female manager, also were seen to characteristics of successful managers more than women managers.

In this study, I explore how school band organizational culture produces gender roles and stereotypes within a percussion section. While previous research (Abeles, 2009) records percussion as predominantly male demographically and in popular perception, such research limits itself to battery percussion, largely excluding mallet percussion. Additionally, researchers have not addressed how existing gender stereotypes influence percussionists or how such stereotypes propagate. This research, a case study, supplements existing findings by qualitatively assessing how students and directors perceive gender stereotypes’ influence the organization, and how stereotypes emerge. By using multiple data sources, I illuminate various understructures (Acker, 1990) that help enforce gender roles and stereotypes observed and described by participants. Understructures represent the unintended impact of aspects of organizational culture. The exploration of understructures helps to explain how gender patterns in percussion sections continue despite the wishes of directors and students alike. Data analysis revealed percussion as divided into two “zones:” mallet and battery percussion, wherein females predominantly play mallets. Participants associated two different skill sets with the zones. Data revealed that experiences in middle school, family tradition, and other factors directly affected what zones students occupied and what skills they had obtained. The most valued musical skills reflected masculinized ideals of marching band and battery percussion. I concluded that understructures influenced percussion students by tacitly predetermining their placement in one of two instrument-based zones. These zones embodied a hierarchized system that privileged masculine-typed battery/marching instruments. I theorized that dividing percussion into gendered zones negatively influenced the musical and academic prospects of all students. / 2019-10-23T00:00:00Z

L’accidentalité des conducteurs de 2RM est au cœur des préoccupations de sécurité routière. Ce travail de thèse vise à apporter des connaissances sur les différences de sexe et de conformité aux stéréotypes de sexe au sein de cette communauté très masculine. Il a été montré que les femmes motocyclistes avaient des taux d’accidents corporels ou mortels bien inférieurs à ceux des hommes. Les résultats montrent que les comportements à risque accidentels des hommes et des femmes motocyclistes sont proches, hormis pour les comportements les plus risqués. Il a aussi été montré que le type de motocyclette avait un effet plus important que le sexe sur les comportements à risques accidentels. De plus, il a été montré que les motocyclistes se conforment aux stéréotypes de sexe qui leurs sont associés et que la masculinité renforce la prise de risque et la transgression des règles, cette relation étant expliquée par les motivations à conduire un 2RM. Enfin, ce travail a montré que les stéréotypes de sexe associés à la conduite d’une motocyclette existent déjà chez les adolescents dès 11 ans. Ce travail de thèse montre donc des différences significatives entre hommes et femmes conducteurs de 2RM, autant au niveau de leur accidentalité que de leurs prises de risque. De plus, des stéréotypes de sexe existent bien pour cette population spécifique d’usagers de la route. Ces travaux permettent d’avoir une connaissance plus fine des comportements des conducteurs de 2RM, et d’enrichir la réflexion sur des actions possibles en matière d’éducation routière, en ciblant les sous-populations les plus à risque chez les conducteurs de 2RM. / The powered two-wheelers (PTW) riders’ accidentality is at the heart of road safety issues. This PhD thesis is part of a comprehensive approach to generate knowledge on sex differences and sex stereotypes conformity within this very masculine stereotyped community. It first showed that female motorcyclists have much lower injury crashes and fatalities rates than males. A first study showed that males declared more intentional risky behaviors and female more non-intentional risky behaviors. A second study showed that the PTW type chosen had a more important effect on the aberrant behaviors than sex. A third study showed that individuals who conformed to masculine stereotypes declared more violations than those who conformed to feminine stereotypes (declared more lapses), whatever their sex. Motivations to ride a PTW explaining this relation. Finally, this work showed that sex stereotypes associated with motorcycle riding already existed on the adolescent population, from the age of 11, even if they are themselves moped riders or if at least one of their parents is a rider. As a conclusion, significant differences between male and female PTW riders were revealed, in terms of accidentology and risk taking. These differences are linked to the riders’ conformity to their sex group and to the effects of this conformity on their motivations to ride a PTW. Moreover, it also showed that sex stereotypes exist for this specific road users’ population. This work led to a more detailed understanding of PTW riders’ aberrant behaviors, and to enrich the thinking for actions with regard to road safety education and prevention.

趨勢預測專家約翰•奈思比在新作《亞洲大趨勢》中預言了亞洲當前風起雲湧的八大趨勢，其中一項即為『男性褪色→女性頭角崢嶸』。近年來，愈來愈多的女性由私領域邁入公領域，她們在職場上或甚至是政壇上，經常有讓人聒目相看的傑出表現；在一向由男性主導、陽剛價值至上的組織環境中，女性領導人為日漸僵化的組織運作，注入了一股源頭活水。她們的「另類觀點與作風」，使人們開始重新省思許多過往習以為常的想法及做法，而「女性領導」亦已成為研究領導的一個新方向。本研究於第一章，說明研究動機與目的、方法與限制、架構與內容。第二章，則由典範變遷的觀點分析女性領導產生的背景。第三章，是關於女性領導的文獻分析。探討男女有別領導風格的成因、女性領導的特質，並點出本文的重心－希望重建一個男女均衡的領導新模式，以「男女兼性」的「人性觀點」來詮釋領導。第四章，是關於女性領導的實證分析。筆者訪談了五位公部門女主管、五位私部門女主管，以及一位婦女研究學者、一位婦女團體領導人，希望將實務面與第三章的文獻分析互相對照比較。於此章並歸納出若干這些傑出女領導人職涯發展成功的關鍵性因素；以及欲突破女性領導的困境，女性自身及社會環境尚待補強努力之處。第五章，為本研究之結論。將文獻檢視及訪談結果進行重點摘要，並提出關於後續研究展望的一些建議及方向。
