It adopts a questionnaire investigation method to learn about the overall stress extent of junior high school PE teachers, and is assisted with in-depth interview in order to understand the detailed history of job stress, and meanwhile, to consider on the effects of gender towards job stress extent and stress history. The main research conclusions are as follows: 1. Sexism will simultaneously deepen and weaken job stress feeling on junior high school PE teachers; however, the deepening extent is greater than weakening extent A quantitative study has indicated that there is a significant positive correlation between sexism attitude and job stress, and that male PE teachers have a higher sexism attitude than female teachers. However, the variance in overall job stress extent is small. Meanwhile, the qualitative study has discovered that the cost and benefits caused by discriminatory attitude would deepen and weaken job stress feeling. 2. Both men and women PE teachers are familiar with, but seem not aware of the problem of “benevolent-based sexism,” and they dare not take a stand against “hostile-based sexism” A quantitative study has shown that both men and women PE teachers hold a high “hostile-based” sexism attitude towards each other. While during the qualitative interviewing process, there were different results to reveal that the tendency towards “benevolent-based” discriminatory attitude was greater than “hostile-based” discriminatory attitude. 3. Both men and women respondents were unquestioned about traditional gender relationship A quantitative study has displayed a prevalence of sexism attitude to exist among the working environment of PE teachers, and that men generally have a higher sexism attitude. On the other hand, the qualitative study has discovered that women respondents are aware of gender inequalities, but then both male and female respondents have regarded it as a reasonable complementary relationship between sexes. 4. The impact that gender attitude had on PE teacher history of perception and job stress A quantitative study has revealed a significant correlation between gender attitude and stress. While the qualitative study has found that different gender attitude have different stress history, and among the three influential aspects are a cognition approach towards stress, descriptive manners and coping methods.
