中国城市中产阶层妇女的体育参与研究

改革开放以来,女性体育参与的迅速扩大不仅是一种体育现象,更是一种社会现象。以质性研究的范式为基础,采用深度访问的研究方法,讨论了"白领"群体女性她们的体育行为及观念。研究发现中产阶层女性体育参与具有很强的文化意识以及消费性、商业性特点,她们的选择,在某种程度上成为引领大众妇女的潮流。本研究认为,一方面,妇女参与体育的障碍已经减弱,个人参与体育的自由度在不断提高;另一方面,妇女参与体育在制度上和文化意识上仍存在一定的限制因素。这些限制因素影响到妇女的体育参与的深度与广度,以及她们对体育参与的真正意义和价值的认识,她们中的大多数人仍然生活在传统父权社会的氛围中。因而,中国妇女在体育参与上,要真正实现性别平等的解放之路依然漫长。

A Study on Sports Participation of Middle-Class Women in Urban China

Since the economic reform,the rapid growth of women's sports participation at the grassroots is not just a sports phenomenon but also a social phenomenon.The research has found that middle-class women have launched a new offensive towards sports participation with strong commercial and consumerist characteristics.Therefore,this study argues that most Chinese women still live within patriarchal arrangements.Consequently,they do not completely fulfill their ambitions in life.Social institutions and the patriarchal culture limit the emancipated meanings and values of women's sport.The Chinese women's emancipation movement still has a long way to go to achieve real gender equality.
