A post-test only control group design was utilized. Students in the treatment group (n = 68) completed a questionnaire at the end of their training period that consists of demographic information, including information about perceived athletic identity, the Rathus Assertiveness Schedule (RAS), the Hyperfemininity Scale (HFS), and an unpublished instrument that measures interpersonal, activities, and self-defense self-efficacy. The control group (n = 75) completed the same instruments prior to receiving self-defense training. It was hypothesized that students in the treatment group would evidence an increase in assertiveness and interpersonal, activities, and self-defense self-efficacy. Additionally, it was hypothesized that women with higher levels of hyperfemininity would have lower scores on the RAS and lower self-efficacy scores, and that women who report higher levels of athletic identity will report lower levels of hyperfemininity, higher levels of assertiveness, and higher levels of self-efficacy. A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) examined the effects of the treatment on the dependent variables and two MANCOVAs examined hyperfemininity and athletic identity as covariates. Following the multivariate analysis, univariate t-tests were run to examine the relative effects of each independent variable. Results indicated that the women’s self-defense course significantly affected women’s levels of assertiveness, activities self-efficacy, self-defense self-efficacy, and interpersonal self-efficacy. Hyperfemininity and athletic identity were not significant covariates. The implications of these results are discussed. 2004-03-10 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1078786227 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1078786227 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
