Abstract Bourdieu’s Theory of Practice explains how institutions – specifically for this paper, sports media – influence the taken-for-granted assumptions of one’s habitus. Sportswomen receive less media coverage than sportsmen, yet the influence that this has on young people is under-researched. Using a mixed method approach, combining the results of a content and narrative analysis of 2514 articles and 2051 photographs from four UK online media outlets (BBC Sport, The Guardian, Sky Sports News, Twitter Moments) with interviews with 70 young people (33 males and 37 females; aged 15-16 years) from three schools in North East England, this paper explores how sports-media messages are interpreted within the framework of a gendered habitus. Two empirical themes emerged: firstly, young people expect female athletes to be underrepresented and sexualised in sports-media, affecting how sport is constructed as unimportant for females for the accrual of social capital. Secondly, media messages that promote female attractiveness are internalised within young people’s habitus. The adolescent gendered habitus is influenced by media messages: the prioritisation of sportsmen leads to young women viewing sport as ‘not for them’. The role of sport within a gendered habitus reflects hegemonic masculinity, promoting sport for men and stereotypical femininity for women.

青少年体育性别习惯的发展：年轻人对英国体育媒体对 2016 年里约奥运会报道的解读

摘要 布尔迪厄的实践理论解释了制度——特别是本文所指的体育媒体——如何影响人们习以为常的假设。与运动员相比，女运动员接受的媒体报道较少，但这对年轻人的影响尚未得到充分研究。使用混合方法，将来自四家英国在线媒体（BBC 体育、卫报、天空体育新闻、Twitter Moments）的 2514 篇文章和 2051 张照片的内容和叙事分析的结果与对 70 名年轻人（33 名男性）的采访相结合和 37 名女性；年龄 15-16 岁）来自英格兰东北部的三所学校，本文探讨了如何在性别习惯框架内解释体育媒体信息。出现了两个经验主题：首先，年轻人期望女运动员在体育媒体中的代表性不足和性别化，这会影响体育的构建方式，因为对于女性来说，社会资本的积累并不重要。其次，促进女性吸引力的媒体信息已内化在年轻人的习惯中。青少年性别习惯受到媒体信息的影响：将运动员放在首位导致年轻女性认为运动“不适合他们”。体育在性别习惯中的作用反映了霸权的男性气质，促进了男性的体育运动和女性的刻板印象。青少年性别习惯受到媒体信息的影响：将运动员放在首位导致年轻女性认为运动“不适合他们”。体育在性别习惯中的作用反映了霸权的男性气质，促进了男性的体育运动和女性的刻板印象。青少年性别习惯受到媒体信息的影响：将运动员放在首位导致年轻女性认为运动“不适合他们”。体育在性别习惯中的作用反映了霸权的男性气质，促进了男性的体育运动和女性的刻板印象。
