The results show that in people's mind, the representative group of sports person is concentrated in 1 to 3 traditional groups of sports person who have close contact with each other. The content of stereotypes are both positive and negative, and the intensity of positive stereotypes are much stronger than that of negative stereotypes. According to the research, some scholars think the negative stereotypes of sports person may be more pessimistic and passive. To improve the social stereotypes of sports person in China, sports person should play a greater role in the socialism construction in the new era. At present, the change of negative stereotypes of sports person should focus on traditional groups of sports person in China. Key words: sports sociology;sports person;stereotypes |
