Abstract(s)
A participação no desporto infantil pode ser influenciada pelos estereótipos/preconceitos dos pais/mães e/ou representantes legais das crianças e jovens. Desta forma, atendendo a que o desporto desempenha um papel importante no desenvolvimento físico, social e psicológico das crianças e jovens, importa compreender de que forma as famílias percecionam e incentivam a seleção da modalidade desportiva.
Este estudo utilizou métodos de investigação quantitativos, através da aplicação dois questionários, a Escala de Atitudes Pacíficas relativamente ao Género (EAPG) e o Questionário de Comportamentos Parentais no Desporto (QCPD), num único momento temporal. Assim, para a concretização dos objetivos a amostra foi constituída por 406 mães, pais e/ou representantes de crianças com idades compreendidas entre os 6 e os 18 anos, que pratiquem desporto federado há pelo menos um ano.
Concluiu-se que os estereótipos de género das mães, dos pais e das/dos representantes legais têm influência na seleção da modalidade desportiva, condicionando as escolhas das crianças e das/dos jovens. Contudo, as mães, os pais e as/os representantes legais das crianças e das/dos jovens que praticam desportos que tradicionalmente não estão associados ao seu género, apresentam menos comportamentos favoráveis à divisão tradicional dos papéis de género. Além disso, as atitudes parentais mais favoráveis à divisão igualitária estão associadas a comportamentos parentais benéficos em relação ao desporto.
Participation in youth sports can be influenced by the stereotypes/prejudices of parents and/or legal guardians of children and adolescents. Given the important role sport plays in the physical, social, and psychological development of children and adolescents, it is important to understand how families perceive and encourage the selection of sports modalities. This study used quantitative research methods, applying two questionnaires, the Peaceful Gender Attitude Scale (EAPG) and the Parental Behavior in Sport Questionnaire (QCPD), at a single time point. The sample comprised 406 mothers, fathers, and/or guardians of children aged between 6 and 18 years who have participated in federated sports for at least one year. It was concluded that the gender stereotypes of mothers, fathers, and legal guardians influence the selection of sports modalities, conditioning the choices of children and adolescents. However, mothers, fathers, and legal guardians of children and adolescents who participate in sports traditionally not associated with their gender, exhibit fewer behaviors that favor the traditional division of gender roles. Furthermore, parental attitudes more favorable to egalitarian gender roles are associated with beneficial parental behaviors regarding sports.
