Abstract
The study aimed to understand the role of ‘Lad Culture’ in university sports teams and to investigate its impact on the attitudes and behaviours of male undergraduate students. Interviews were conducted with 11 current male undergraduate students at one British university. Interviews were then analysed and a cluster analysis was used to draw out the main themes. The main findings of the study reveal that ‘Lad Culture’ within university sports teams can be seen as having a significant impact on the creation of masculinities of male students and negatively affecting the attitudes and behaviours of males in sports teams. More needs to be done by HEI’s to combat the emergence of ‘Lad Culture’ in university sports teams before the issue becomes too severe for any change to happen.
