Female Learned Helplessness in Sport. An Analysis of Children's Literature.
Weiller, Karen H.; Higgs, Catriona T.
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation and Dance, v60 n6 p65-67 Aug 1989

Findings are presented from a study which examined 1,380 books to investigate the social information, regarding sports and work, that is communicated to young readers. (IAH)
