For decades, scholars have sought to understand individuals’ identification with sport teams. As a result, we have great knowledge of how team identification influences a variety of attitudinal and behavioral out-comes as well as the impact of identifying with a team on an individual’s sense of self. However, nearly all studies of team identification have dealt with men’s sport rather than women’s sport. The authors addressed this issue in the current study by using the Delphi technique to solicit expert opinion on the lack of team identification research in women’s sport, including reasons for the lack of research, the extent to which context matters in studying team identification, and potential contributions to the team identification literature by examining the concept in women’s sport settings. The authors conclude by discussing experts’ opinions, the extent to which some views may underpin the lack of research, and implications for future studies of team identification.

了解女子运动中缺乏团队认同研究

几十年来，学者们一直试图了解个人对运动队的认同。因此，我们非常了解团队认同如何影响各种态度和行为结果，以及团队认同对个人自我意识的影响。然而，几乎所有关于团队认同的研究都涉及男子运动而不是女子运动。作者在当前的研究中解决了这个问题，通过使用德尔菲技术就女子运动中缺乏团队认同研究征求专家意见，包括缺乏研究的原因、背景在研究团队认同中的重要性以及潜力通过研究女子运动环境中的概念，为团队识别文献做出贡献。
