無観客試合に強いのは女性選手

05.スポーツ

COVID-19による観客の制限の起きている2020年と、それ以前の2018/2019年シーズンの試合を比較した結果、無観客の試合での女性選手の成績が良くなると言う結果が出たそうな。

Selection bias in social facilitation theory? Audience effects on elite biathletes’ performance are gender-specific – ScienceDirect:

Social facilitation effects in elite biathlon are task- and gender-specific
• Male biathletes improve their performance in conditioning task (skiing) but deteriorate in coordination task (shooting) in the presence of an audience; female athletes show the reverse pattern
• Sample selection bias in past research (<1/3 female) may explain the results, thereby questioning the generalizability of social facilitation theory
