Literature

This is where we will add links to relevant literature we find. Remember, at the end of a literature review you need two things:

  1. A clearly defined research questions, or set of questions;
  2. Answers to the questions, often derived from theory.

So, in the literature review section we will be looking to refine our final guiding research question and also try to find tentative answers to it:

To what extent do professional footballers, as role models, affect the actions of young football players?

Following our attempts to find relevant literature and understand it, I have summarised our findings in this table. Have a read and see if you can refine and/or answer the research question.

REMEMBER… Please add your comments to this page and add links to useful information you find.

    Useful artical on ‘Gender and the Selection of Public Athletic Role Models’ and how men primarily sought out role models based on their qualities as an athlete, women valued role models for both their professional and personal qualities. Finally, both men and women who had public athletic role models during childhood were more likely to play sports at a higher level
