鉴于参加体育运动的妇女和女童人数显着增加，现在人们普遍认为女孩有充足的机会参加体育运动，因此，不参加体育运动的女孩选择参加体育运动只是因为她们对运动缺乏兴趣。作者使用定性方法和社会学，研究了洛杉矶大都会地区低收入少数族裔女孩的休闲体育项目。研究结果将吉登斯的结构化理论应用于参与者观察和访谈中出现的新兴主题，结果说明了通过参与者的日常互动体现的结构如何同时限制某些形式的能动性，同时启用其他形式。这项研究通过说明社会结构和文化话语在塑造日常社会互动中如何相互作用，推进了社会学对社会建构的学科理解。
Given the significant increase in the number of women and girls participating in sport, it is now a commonly held belief that girls have ample opportunities to participate in sport and, consequently, that girls who do not participate choose to do so because they simply lack interest in sport. Using qualitative methodologies and the sociology of accounts, the author examines a recreational sport program for low-income minority girls in the metropolitan Los Angeles area. Applying Giddens's theory of structuration to emergent themes from participant observations and interviews, the findings illustrate how structures, as they are embodied through the everyday interactions of their participants, simultaneously constrain certain forms of agency while enabling other forms. This study advances sociology's disciplinary understanding of social construction by illustrating how social structure and cultural discourses interact in shaping everyday social interactions.
