Abstract

Qualitative research has demonstrated the prevalence of gender inequity and sexism in sport-related careers, including those in sport psychology. To provide quantitative evidence, we examined the role of gender in Certified Mental Performance Consultants’ (CMPC) specialization and employment by extracting and coding the data (N = 576) from the CMPC Directory. Independent samples t tests showed that male CMPCs specialized in more masculine sports, less feminine sports, and a similar number of gender-neutral sports compared with female CMPCs. Chi-square tests of independence revealed a larger proportion of male than female CMPCs working in professional sport. No significant differences were found in other employment settings (college sport, military, and private practice), age-group specialization, and mental health licensure. These findings, which should be interpreted with caution before further investigation, suggest a need for collaboration between sport psychology professionals and sport organizations that might help mitigate internal and external barriers to gender equity.

还是“老男孩俱乐部”?注册心理表现咨询师的性别类型体育专业与就业设置
定性研究表明,性别不平等和性别歧视在体育相关职业中普遍存在,包括体育心理学领域。为了提供定量证据,我们从注册心理绩效咨询师(CMPC)目录中提取数据并编码(N = 576),研究性别在CMPC专业化和就业中的作用。独立样本检验表明,与女性CMPCs相比,男性CMPCs更擅长男性化运动,女性化运动较少,性别中性运动的数量相似。卡方独立性检验显示,从事职业体育运动的CMPCs中,男性的比例大于女性。在其他就业环境(大学体育、军事和私人执业)、年龄组专业化和心理健康许可方面没有发现显著差异。在进一步调查之前,这些发现应该谨慎地解释,这表明运动心理学专业人员和体育组织之间需要合作,这可能有助于减轻内部和外部的性别平等障碍。
