Survey Studies For Women On And Off The Field

While studying females in the sport industry, it is important to take notes on different studies that other universities and institutions have done to help back-up your research and solidify the importance of your paper.  I did just that with referencing to a study that was done in the Ohio Valley Conference for NCAA Division 1 female collegiate athletes.  The study was conducted by Chen, Phillips, and Raybrun in 2015 and they evaluated sixty-three females with a survey dealing with behavioral and mental effects with stereotypes of female athletes, Title IX, and profitability with female sports.  The results received an eighty percent return rate of being effected by these factors while playing sports.  The main message of this study was to confirm if female athletes are treated differently, specifically, at a lower standard then male athletes.  The findings lead to the answer of yes, female athletes are treated differently and at a lower standard than males.

With my research paper focusing more so on inequality between females and males in the sport industry, this specific resource is important to help shed light to the issue we still face between men and women.  There is still not an equal playing field for men and women, and it is visible in the corporate world all the way to sports.  Not one gender is greater than the other, therefore deserves to be treated with the same amount of respect, equal pay, and equal opportunities all around.
