Scholarly Research Critique
The study completed by Kahanov, Loebsack, Masucci, & Roberts (20100 focused on female athletic trainers as this demographic is currently underrepresented in the collegiate setting. Family and parenting obligations are posited to possibly play a role in this underrepresentation. The stated objective of the study was to examine female athletic trainers' perspectives on parenting and working in secondary and collegiate employment settings.
The design of the study was a quantitative cross sectional study completed via online survey. A total of 1,000 non-student certified female athletic trainers who were currently members of the National Athletic Trainers' Associations were the participants in the study. Researchers maintain that the original survey was developed to assess participants perceptions related to career and motherhood responsibilities....
Data and analysis used in the survey were descriptive statistics used to assess years of experience as a certified athletic trainer, age, parent or nonparent status, and employment position. In addition, researchers employed a correlation matrix to establish factors prevalent among parent and nonparent status, employment-setting decisions, and perceptions regarding motherhood.
According to researchers, the analysis and results revealed of the 1,000 surveys emailed to participants that 411 or 41.1% of females responded to the survey. According to the survey responses, the majority of the female athletic trainers worked in the secondary school setting as opposed to the collegiate setting.

Athletic Trainer Gender Inequality in Academia Gender Inequality There appears to be evidence for gender inequality in the profession of academic athletic trainers (ATs). For example, membership in the National Athletic Trainer's Association is 48% female, but at the collegiate level only 1/3 of ATs are women (Kahanov, Loebsack, Masucci, and Roberts, 2010, p. 459). To understand the reasons behind this discrepancy the authors of a recent study performed a large survey

Attachment was believed by Bowlby to be a critical aspect of the normal development of human behavior. Attachment is inclusive of the following characteristics: 1) Proximity Seeking - the infant seeks to be near the maternal figure; 2) Separation distress or protests - when separated or distant from the material figure the infant becomes distressed and signals this by vocalizing these feelings and changes in affect. 3) a secure base - when
Nontraditional families in America have seen a remarkable increase in numbers over the past twenty years. The traditional family unit depicted in sitcoms on television and spoken about in the literature still dominates the social scene but in actual numbers it exists in only about twenty-five percent of the nation's households. Strangely, discussions regarding this magical unit still occupy the thoughts and arguments of politicians, preachers and conservative activists as
Seltzer, writing in 2000, suggests that trends favoring cohabitation have shown a strikingly sharp incline upward, going from 30% of women aged 19 to 23 in the 1980s, to nearly 40% in 1994. However, another cultural pattern is manifest, writes Seltzer, one which views cohabitation not merely as a transitional period, but as an actual phase in which it is acceptable to raise children. The percentage of unmarried parents
