She has pursued her research on women hockey players by completing a personality profile of each team member and then compiling these for a team profile. She has compared team members to a sample of University of Guelph women and has compared different ice hockey teams in the league. Studying athletes' per- sonalities is one aspect of psychokinetics. the psy- chology of human move- ment. Irs a.relatively new discipline which hasn't yet developed to the stage of having its own methodo- logy. Professor Bird -bor- rowed personality assess- ment tools from psychology, but she warns that such tools may not be adequate. She feels that she and other psychokineticists will be able to develop a more applicable methodology after conducting much re- search into human move- ment parameters. Many would envision a female hockey player as aggressive. assertive and domineering. Contrary to these' preconceived tMF tions, the women hockey players at the University of Guelph have displayed "What better place to pursue this research than at the University of Guelph? The women's hockey team here has been champion of the Ontario Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Association six times in the past eight years," she explained. Women hockey players? Women can't play hockey -iCs too rough and too fast! Human kinetics professor Fr Bird of the University of Guelph shrugs off such comments as cultural stereotyping. She not only knows that women can play hockey, she conducts research on the personali- ties and performance of women athletes, particular- ly hockey players. Ice hockey players. like all women athletes must first overcome ingrained North American cultural biases. Just to participate, they would seem to have to display a kind of crusad- ing spirit. What other qualities do they display-? How can their person- ality traits be determined?, Professor Bird started research into the per- sonalities of women hockey players in 1967 and carried it on as a topic for her Ph.D. dissertation. Another interesting ap- plication is the assessment of the performance of fairs of r athletes. With Professor V. Wilson of York University, Profes- sor Bird has begun to study skating pairs and sailing pairs, On her own she did similar studies on the U.S. women's Olympic kayak pairs. In some cases performance _ problems can be traced to person- ality traits in one or both athletes. The ultimate goals of such studies are to bet- ter performance through improved quality of move- ment, self-understanding and better communication with partner and coach. Perhaps someday Canada will send a sport psycholo- gist or" psychokineticist with the athletes to the Olympics as the Eastern block countries to now. The newest and most ex- citing prospects in the psy- chology of human move- ment, according to Profes- sor Bird, lie in the field of human kinetics where psychology is applied to all aspects of a human in motion at play, work or remedial exercise, "The deciding point in the quality and quantity of any performance is psychological," she says, adding she feels gratified that someindividual athletes and sports associations in Canada are beginning to apply psychology to their athletic endeavors. -Studying human per- formance is one part of the field of human kinetics which brings together specialists from many disciplines to analyze and understand human move- ment. Human kineticists look-at performance from a physiological, philosophi- cal, psychological. sociolo- gical, and biomechanical viewpoint.
