Speed, Harriet and Andersen, Mark B (2011) In praise of quantitative methods: how numbers can change culture. In: Critical essays in applied sport psychology. Gilbourne, David and Andersen, Mark B, eds. Human Kinetics, Champaign, Ill., pp. 39-57.
Abstract
Many qualitative researchers make impassioned pleas for sport cultures to change. They tell tales of sexism, racism, homophobia, abuse, and exploitation. Harriet and Mark argue that these calls to arms are important and worthy of attention, yet the degree to which such studies actually change culture is unknown. They discuss the issue of research effecting change and tell the story of a quantitative study on the health and welfare of jockeys in the Australian racing industry.
