Construct Validity of the Risk, Pain, and Injury Questionnaire
Nixon’s (1994a; 1994b; 1996a; 1996b) research using a Risk, Pain, and Injury Questionnaire (RPIQ) is perhaps the most systematic in the risk, pain, and injury literature. The RPIQ is intended to measure the acceptance of dominant discourses on risk, pain, and injury among athletes and others. This article presents a face validity critique of the RPIQ and results of a subsequent content validity analysis based on a study of 171 athletes from a Wes…
Moms, Sisters, and Ladies
This study presents accounts of nine women student athletic trainers (SATs) working as interns in an athletic program at a large university. The presence of women within a historically closed masculine sport environment was resolved by viewing the women within the traditionally feminine roles of 'mom,''sister,' and 'lady.' Subject to overt and subtle discrimination, sexist and misogynist behavior, as well as sexual harassment and imposition, the …

Recent work has suggested that masculinist sport subcultures (e.g., Young & White, 1995) and “conspiratorial” sports organizations (Nixon, 1992a) foster the acceptance of pain and injury by athletes. Using semistructured interviews, this study examined the experiences and beliefs of 22 student athletic trainers at a large university. The study found that student athletic trainers had conflicting alliances to student athletes and to staff trainers…
The Footrace Metaphor in American Presidential Rhetoric
A constitutive view of metaphor is used to examine speeches of Lyndon Johnson and Ronald Reagan. This analysis shows Johnson’s establishment of the metaphor of the footrace to describe life in the United States and Reagan’s attempt to contest this metaphor. Johnson’s rhetoric appealed to the notion of the “starting line” and the need for government to establish equal competitive conditions. Reagan appealed to the “runners” and argued that individ…
