“…The results of this study revealed that “community” and “mass media”, as agents of socialization, are not associated with the sports participation of women. This result differs from some related research [48,49]. It is suggested that, in future research, the reason for this should be explored, in order to further explore the effects of personal character and sports agents of socialization on the sports participation of women and to compare the cultural differences among nations.…”

“…In relation to the sports field, research found team players had higher positive perception of the leadership of a coach when the coach had internal control [39]. In a study of university students in table-tennis courses related to locus control, the study found that the internal control-oriented subjects who learned difficult work first had more accurate performance than the external control-oriented ones [40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48]. In summary, people with a higher internal locus of control had better performance in the sports-learning process and were less frustrated.…”

Compared to men, the sports participation of women is lower, especially in the East. Not many studies have compared the impacts of locus of control, agents of socialization, and sport socialization situations on the sports participation of women. Hence, the purpose of this study is to explore the contributing factors which may promote the sports participation of women in Taiwan. To do this, 450 structured questionnaires were distributed to women in Chiayi, Taiwan, with an 89.3% return rate. The study found that internal locus of control, agents of socialization, and sport socialization situation had positive impacts on the sports participation of women. In line with these results, the study suggests the strengthening of the internal locus of control of women, making the best use of socialization agents, and improvement of sport socialization situations, in order to promote sports participation in women.

“…Influenced by this new social atmosphere, women's leisure and exercise have become intertwined with notions of body slimming, health and sexiness in the Taiwanese media since the 1990s (Tsai 2009). Since more and more women think doing leisure dances is helpful to improve their body shape, the leisure dance/exercise industry continues to grow (Shen and Chu 2008, 3-4).…”

Beautiful and Good Woman:Gender Role Negotiation among Taiwanese Women who Belly Dance Confucian values have strongly influenced gender stereotypes in Taiwan. Although socioeconomic change and the globalization of the culture industry have contributed to the construction of modern images of women as independent, feminine and beautiful, the traditional ideal has not been totally displaced. Contrary to traditional gender expectations, the display of the female body is exceptionally encouraged in belly dancing. Utilizing data collected from 21 experienced belly dancers in Taiwan, this study examines the conflicts that women face when taking part in belly dancing, but also how they merge belly dancing with ideal gender images without conflict. The results show that, whilst few of the women experience inner conflicts, some experience external conflicts, usually with family members. However, by viewing belly dancing as a leisure exercise, a frugal and natural approach to acquiring femininity and beauty, the participants sought to differentiate themselves from the 'bad others' to construct a 'beautiful-and-good' female image. More generally, we have sought to demonstrate that critical analysis of the physically active female body must always be cognisant of the specific characteristics of those societies towards which the research is directed.

“…Gender roles are identified as socially-constructed attributes that are associated with being a man or a woman (Deem, 1986;Tsai, 2009). Masculinities, expressed through masculine discourses, are identified as socially constructed, privileged ways of thinking that dominate society and are often associated with men but may also be associated with women (Whiteside & Hardin, 2011).…”

This research makes an attempt to explore whether or not sufficient public recreational facilities have been provided for foreign women workers in Taiwan and whether or not the general atmosphere makes them afraid to partake in leisure activities. The aim is to apply gender studies in order to understand the different perspectives that foreign female workers have of leisure experience, to explore the social structure and stereotypes which form the power to oppress women and to search for a way to eliminate such oppression and bias. The data for the analysis of these discourses was gathered from documentary analysis and interviews. The collection of informal and formal data enabled the comparison of views that were formally sanctioned by the respondents and those that were informally articulated.
