Abstract
Abstract Two groups of college women, 120 athletes and 120 nonathletes, from Arizona State University responded to biographical sketches of four stimulus persons: college women described as high-success aspiration softball player, low-success aspiration softball player, high-success aspiration dancer, and low-success aspiration dancer. Each stimulus person was rated for degree of social acceptability on a four-item questionnaire. The results suggest that women athletes feel a strong sense of identity with other women athletes; no significant negative attitude toward women competing in team sports was detected; and there was no evidence that high aspiration detracted from the social acceptability of college women.
