Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This study seeks to update understanding of how sports in U.S. society are viewed in light of gender norms; such research has implications for mediated sports consumption. A survey of 340 college students found that even youth who have grown up with Title IX still rate most sports as masculine. The study also examined the relationship between media use, sports participation, and gender role socialization with sex-typing of sports, finding that socialization factors seemed most linked to perceptions of sex-appropriate sports. Heavy television and TV sports viewing, attitudes toward women, and attitudes toward masculinity were related to sex-typing of masculine sports, but these attitudes were not linked to typing of feminine sports, perhaps demonstrating the ubiquity of the hegemonic notion that sports are, for the most part, inherently male. Current media consumption played a smaller role, and sports participation played no role.
