Book excerpt: Student-athletes face multiple challenges in their first year of college; understanding what influences a healthy adjustment is critical to aiding their success (Parham, 1993; Turner & Thompson, 2014). First-year student-athletes are presented with the challenge of having to rapidly adjust to a new social and academic environment and having the added challenge of adjusting to a new sport environment. However, little is known about how student-athletes are coping with their first year in college. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between race, gender, coping styles, athletic identity and the college adjustment for first-year student-athletes at Division III institutions. Participants were 200 first-year Division III athletes. Their ages ranged from 18-21 years old (M = 18.49, SD = .56). Female identified student-athletes represented 42.5% of the sample and 56% were male identified. The sample was 73.5% European/White, 12.5% African American/Black, 5% Hispanic/Latino/a, 5% Biracial or Multiracial, 1% Asian, and .5% other race/ethnicity. Twenty-one team and individual sports were represented including revenue and non-revenue sports. Data were collected in person from three NCAA Division III Midwestern universities from the MIAA conference. The participants were administered a demographic form and three survey instruments: the Coping Strategy Indicator (Amirkhan, 1990) with three subscales measuring problem solving coping, seeking social support coping, and avoidance coping; the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (Brewer et al., 1993), and the Student Adjustment to College Questionnaire (Baker, McNeil, & Siryk, 1985; Baker & Siryk, 1984). Descriptive statistics and correlations were calculated to initially investigate relationships among the variables. An ANOVA and MANOVA were conducted to examine possible differences in athletic identity and coping styles associated with gender. Findings indicated that there were no significant differences in athletic identity associated with gender. With respect to coping styles, analyses yielded a significant multivariate effect associated with gender and coping styles, with women using more seeking social support strategies than men. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were used to investigate the extent to which gender, race, coping styles and athletic identity predicted college adjustment. Regression analyses indicated that athletic identity was not a statistically significant predictor of adjustment to college, above and beyond the variance accounted for by race and gender. In the analyses related to coping styles and college adjustment, results revealed that the avoidant coping style was a statistically significant predictor of adjustment to college, after controlling for race and gender. More avoidant coping was associated with poorer adjustment to college. When all variables were entered into the regression model, gender and avoidant coping were the two significant unique predictors. Findings, implications, and directions for future research are discussed.

This book was released on 2010-02-23 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children live in a world of ever-increasing stress factors, including global terrorism, pervasive exposure to violence, increasing substance use, and economic and social instability. To help them maneuver successfully through such a challenging world to adulthood, community-based resilience interventions are becoming more important than ever. Currently, resilience-based interventions are expanding to examine not only the internal strengths children and adolescents bring to a variety of situations, but also to explore how to leverage community and family resources in the context of a culturally diverse world. Community Planning to Foster Resilience in Children reviews a variety of innovative approaches and actions that can be used at the community level to promote resilience in children and adolescents. Key themes throughout the book focus on how to: Shift the paradigm from illness to strengths and health. Assess and improve environments to minimize harmful influences and increase protection. Adapt to and build on strengths of cultural and linguistic variation in an increasingly diverse society. Move toward collaborative approaches that involve youth, families, schools, and community members who partner at all levels of program conception, implementation, evaluation, and improvement. For researchers, clinicians, and students, Community Planning to Foster Resilience in Children will be an essential tool in their efforts to promote the health and success of youth.

Book excerpt: Using both hierarchical and k-means cluster analytic techniques, this study produced three distinct student-athlete groups in terms of differing athletic and racial identities. Descriptive nomenclature were then generated for these clusters, resulting in the following groups of student-athletes based on their unique combinations of psychosocial variables: Low Sense of Identity and Racial Articulation, Strongly Racially Ideological yet Athletically Prioritized, and Socially Assimilated yet Racially Aspirational.

The intent of the text is to spark conversation about how college and university constituents can reframe their thinking about the importance of innovative research to careful, informed practice. Likewise, the contributors hope that it will inspire greater awareness and action among practitioners, as well as advance scholarship in the area of athletics. Each chapter includes current research, and in some cases theoretical perspectives, which should assist practitioners enhance the well-being of college athletes. Each chapter also offers guided discussion questions that are ideal for use as the basis of further conversation in the classroom setting. Adopters of this text will benefit from leading voices in the field who delve into complex issues, shedding new light and presenting unique opportunities for understanding a diversity of perspectives on evidence-based practices in support centers for athletes. In all, this volume provides a rich portrait of data-driven practices designed to assist practitioners and others who work closely with college athletes, and lays the groundwork for an ambitious and long overdue agenda to further develop innovative research that informs the practices of athletics stakeholders and improves the quality of experiences for college athletes.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT:This qualitative study was designed to gather descriptive data through the use of visual elicitation and semi structured interviews to better understand the perception of and transition experiences of Black female athletes. Specifically, this phenomenological approach explored the salient factors that influence those perceptions and looked at how factors such as race, gender, athletic identity and athletic status intersect and influence their transition experiences. A sample (N=4) of participants who identified as Black female student athletes were interviewed and five superordinate themes were identified from the data: Perceptions of Visual Profile, Lack of People of Color (POC) Representation, Impact of Identity, Microaggressions, and Perceptions of own transition. Results indicated that participant’s racial and gender and athletic identities influenced their perceptions of life beyond sport. Findings are discussed collectively and implications for training are provided.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Self-identity is important in the transition into retirement from collegiate sports, and athletic identity is a major source of self-identity for athletes. Given that research reveals a positive relationship between athletic identity and physical activity, but other research argues that dissolving athletic identity is necessary for a smooth transition from college sports, it seems there is a paradox when it comes to athletic identity and continued engagement in physical activity after retirement. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of athletic identity to physical activity levels after college sport participation. Former Division I athletes from a southeastern university (n=59) completed the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS), the Athletic Identity Questionnaire (AIQ), the Godin Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire, and several additional measures. Correlations and multiple regressions were used to analyze relationships between athletic identity and physical activity measures, and MANOVA was used to investigate gender differences. Both the AIMS (r = .360, p
