摘要：On the basis of the study results it can be proved that femininity is associated mainly with emotional sensitivity as well as empathic and caring behaviour (traits determined by emotions). On the other hand,masculinity includes tendency to dominate,rationality,initiative,focus on competition and activity (traits dominated by taskoriented activity). The objective of the study was therefore to seek relations between femininity and masculinity and styles of coping with stress in groups of competitive athletes playing team sport games. The study included 49 women aged 19 to 32 years (M=22.82) representing such sport disciplines as football,handball,field hockey,volleyball and basketball. The second group included 56 men aged 18 to 31 years (M=21.54) playing team sport games like football,handball,field hockey,volleyball and basketball. Both groups included participants of the world championships and medallists of Polish and European championships. In the study the Inventory for Assessing Psychological Sex and the polish adaptation of Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations questionnaire were used. On the basis of the study it was established that both in men and in women doing team sport games,psychological masculinity is positively related with the task oriented style (the instrumental function of which is solving the problem) and style aiming for social diversion (seeking social contacts). The analysis indicated also that the indicator of femininity turned out to be related to the avoidance oriented style (characteristic for people who in stressful situations tend to avoid thinking about and experiencing the difficult situation) – including engaging in distracting activities. This second relation was noted only for female athletes which is consistent with the previous studies.
