Multi-level influences on LGBTQ+ experiences in recreational sport organizations:: A qualitative study
2021 (English)Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
Abstract [en]

The present study examined the factors that influenced the experiences in lesbian, gay,bisexual, transgender, questioning, plus (LGBTQ+) individuals in recreational sport organizations. The factors that influenced their experiences within recreational organizations are shown through a conceptualized model, which is derived from multilevel factors including the micro (individual), meso (organizational/team), and macro(societal) levels of analysis within the multi-level system of a sport organization. The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the multi-level factors that influenceLGBTQ+ experiences in recreational sport organizations. The aim of the present study was to adequately examine the following three research questions: (a) How doLGBTQ+ individuals conceptualize their inclusion and welcoming in recreational sport organizations?; (b) What multi-level factors influence an LGBTQ+ individuals’ experiences in recreational sport organizations?; and (c) What are the outcomes associated with recreational sport organizations who include and welcome LGBTQ+individuals? Using a qualitative research method, six self-identifying LGBTQ+individuals participated in semi-structured interviews that were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and presented for clarification that provided knowledge on experiences faced within recreational sport organizations. Results indicate that alongside the aspects of the theoretical concepts of the multi-level factors including micro-, meso-, and macrolevels of analysis, the experiences that LGBTQ+ individuals encounter within recreational sports organizations involve aspects of their coming out stories, chosen family, body image, social media and location differences that also impact experience. 

Abstract [sv]

Denna studie undersökte de erfarenheter som homosexuella, bisexuella, transgender -och queerindivider (HBTQ+) möter i organisationer inom sport. Deras erfarenheter inom fritidsorganisationer visas genom en konceptualiserad modell, som härleds av faktorer på flera nivåer inklusive mikro (individ), meso (organisation/team) -och makro(samhällelig)nivåer inom ett multinivåsystem av sportorganisationer. Syftet med den här studien är att använda komplexiteten i HBTQ+ individernas upplevelser inom idrottsorganisationer och ge ett alternativt perspektiv på dessa upplevelser. Målet med den här studien är att på ett adekvat sätt undersöka följande tre forskningsfrågor: (a) Hur föreställer HBTQ+-individer sin inkludering och välkomnande i idrottsorganisationer; (b) Vilka faktorer inom multinivåerna influerar en HBTQ+ -individs upplevelser inom idrottsorganisationer; och (c) Vad är resultaten förknippade med idrottsorganisationer som inkluderar och välkomnar HBTQ+individer? Resultaten tyder på att flertal faktorer bidrar till de erfarenheter som HBTQ+ individer upplever. Med en kvalitativ forskningsmetod deltog sex, självidentifierade, HBTQ+ -individer i semistrukturerande intervjuer som spelades in, transkriberades ordagrant och presenterades för de medverkande för förtydligande av kunskap inom idrottsorganisationer. Resultaten visar att HBTQ+ -upplevelser är förknippade med olika värderingar, normer och förväntningar som rör vissa inställningar, vilket innebä ratt det finns ett stort behov av att förbättra diversifieringsåtgärder inom idrottsorganisationer.
