ABSTRACT

Background

Children can internalise social and parental gender stereotypes and this may influence their perceived motor competence (PMC). This study aimed to examine the association between father and daughter gender-stereotyped attitudes/beliefs and girls’ PMC.

Methods

Girls (N = 68, M_age= 8.9 years, SD = 1.7) and their fathers were recruited at baseline from a physical activity intervention. Girls’ PMC was assessed using the pictorial scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence. Gender-stereotyped attitudes/beliefs of girls and fathers were assessed using the Occupation, Activity, and Trait – Attitude/Personal instrument. The girls’ questions were interviewer administered to ensure comprehension, whilst fathers completed an online survey. Correlations were calculated, followed by linear regressions adjusted for girls’ age and fathers’ education. Regression models were used to investigate associations between father-daughter gender-stereotyped attitudes/beliefs, and whether these attitudes/beliefs were associated with girls’ perceptions of their object control/locomotor, active play, and overall skill competence.

Results

Girls’ gender-stereotyped attitudes negatively correlated with overall PMC, r(60) = –.36, p = .004, and object control perception, r(60) = –.36, p = .004. These associations remained evident in linear regression analysis. No other associations were found.

Conclusions

Girls with more gender-stereotyped attitudes have lower motor skill perceptions, which may impact negatively on physical activity and sport participation. Future interventions aimed at reducing sociocultural gender stereotypes in children may improve girls’ motor skill perception and positively impact physical activity.

对父亲和女儿的性别刻板印象态度和信念是否与女孩感知的运动能力有关？

摘要

背景

儿童可以内化社会和父母的性别刻板印象，这可能会影响他们的感知运动能力（PMC）。本研究旨在检验父亲和女儿的性别定型态度/信仰与女孩 PMC 之间的关联。

方法

女孩（N = 68，M_年龄= 8.9 岁，SD = 1.7），他们的父亲是在基线时从体育活动干预中招募的。使用感知运动技能能力的图片量表评估女孩的 PMC。使用职业、活动和特质——态度/个人工具评估女孩和父亲的性别定型态度/信念。女孩的问题由面试官管理以确保理解，而父亲则完成了在线调查。计算相关性，然后根据女孩的年龄和父亲的教育调整线性回归。回归模型用于调查父女性别刻板印象/信念之间的关联，以及这些态度/信念是否与女孩对其对象控制/运动、积极游戏和整体技能能力的感知相关。
