This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been well researched that college student alcohol use is a public health concern and that college students as a general population are at risk for excessive alcohol use and binge drinking. Within the wide population of college students, student-athletes are at a particularly high risk for excessive alcohol consumption. Collegiate student-athletes have been found to be more likely than their peers to report alcohol-related negative consequences. In studying why athletes drink more than their peers, collegiate student-athlete alcohol research purports that motives for alcohol use stem from both general and sport-related motives. Social norms research, particularly descriptive and injunctive norms, has also been used to explain alcohol use habits in college students and student-athletes. Alcohol use is also strongly influenced by cultural norms and beliefs that one may develop in their country of origin. No research currently exists that studies how domestic and international student-athletes differ in alcohol use trends. The current study intends to bridge gaps in the literature by investigating alcohol use among international and domestic student-athletes and the resulting relationship between factors such as alcohol consumption, drinking motives, negative consequences of alcohol use, and a student-athlete's country of origin. It was hypothesized that student-athletes from the United States would report significantly different alcohol use behaviors than their International counterparts. NCAA student-athletes (n = 1330) completed an online questionnaire that included a demographics survey, country of origin questions, social norms perceptions questions, alcohol use questions, Athlete Drinking Scale, Drinking Motives Questionnaire-Revised, and Rutger's Alcohol Problem Index. Multiple MANCOVA analyses were run to examine differences in alcohol use behaviors between the three pairs of independent variables while controlling for gender and age. Analyses revealed significant effects for country of origin on student-athletes perceived injunctive norms and sport-related drinking motives. Specifically, international student-athletes perceived that friends from their country of origin approve of binge drinking more than United States student-athletes perceived their friends approve of binge drinking. Also, United States student-athletes endorsed all sport-related drinking motives more than international student-athletes endorsed the same motives, meaning that American student-athletes are more motivated to drink alcohol due to sport-related drinking motives than in international student-athletes are motivated to drink due to sport-related drinking motives.
Download or read book Relationship Between High risk Drinking and Team Cohesion Among College Athletes written by Jeff Graham and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Heavy alcohol consumption among college students can be problematic, particularly for student-athletes. According to prior research discussed in this study, college athletes have higher binge drinking rates than non-athletes and tend to have higher levels of intoxication when they drink, subsequently, athletes are more likely to experience alcohol-related harms and consequences. Additionally, research indicates that athletic team members often socialize around alcohol consumption and certain team characteristics may influence drinking behaviors. Therefore, this study examines the relationship between high-risk drinking and team cohesion among college athletes. The researcher collected data from 382 student-athletes from 14 teams at a public university in the mid-Atlantic region to study the strength of association between high-risk drinking and several predictor variables, including team cohesion, gender, race, class rank, and type of sport. Findings from this study will serve to inform coaches, athletic directors, and student affairs professionals on issues associated with the relationship between student-athlete alcohol consumption and team cohesion, particularly as it relates to how student-athletes may socialize and bond around alcohol consumption." -- Abstract

Book excerpt: Collegiate student-athletes have been identified as an especially at-risk subgroup for heavy alcohol use as compared to the general college student population. Despite the intense physical demands required for athletic participation, national studies have found that intercollegiate athletes consumed more alcohol, engaged in more frequent heavy episodic drinking, and experienced more negative alcohol-related consequences as compared with non-athletes. A combination of structured open-ended and closed-ended questions was used in the current study. Data was collected from student-athletes across the United States through semi-structured, individual interviews informed by the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1991) and its constructs (attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control). Open coding was the chosen method for data analysis for the study. Codes, accompanied by descriptives, were organized into themes as they related to the research questions and the theory of planned behavior. Results show that nearly half (49%) of student-athletes report drinking five or more drinks in one-sitting, with the majority of student-athletes consuming alcohol only 1-2 times per week at parties. Student-athletes' attitudes towards heavy drinking and alcohol outcome expectancies are apparent in two themes: sexual risk taking and athletic training justification. Many respondents expressed alcohol-drinking relationships with other student-athletes at their institution. The NCAA has recognized the importance of addressing alcohol related issues among collegiate athletes. However, the type of educational programming being assigned by the NCAA has been generally ineffective in reducing alcohol use of student-athletes. In fact, of the student-athletes surveyed in this study, the majority struggled with recalling NCAA alcohol prevention programs that they are familiar with--only 13% of student-athletes use alcohol prevention skills and tools taught by the NCAA or their athletic department to reduce alcohol consumption. Similarly, there is a belief among student-athletes that the NCAA is not doing enough to reduce alcohol use among student-athletes is exemplified by the fact that the majority (57%) gave the NCAA an F letter-grade for their current alcohol intervention and prevention strategies that are being taught to student-athletes. Although the NCAA requires student-athletes to participate in alcohol, tobacco and other drug education programming, only approximately 25% of student-athletes surveyed recalled viewing a NCAA drug and alcohol educational video or reading a brochure detailing the effect alcohol has on athletic performance at the beginning of the academic year. Furthermore, 85% of student-athletes reported that they were not informed of the counseling or alcohol treatment options that the NCAA provides.
Download or read book An Examination of Student Athletic Identity and Coping with Non normative Transitions Out of Their Athletic Lifespan written by Anne K. Kennedy and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student-athletes will experience normative and non-normative transitions out of their sport. During non-normative transitions, student-athletes may utilize negative strategies to cope with the discontinuation of their athletic career. These negative coping behaviors range from self-medication through drugs and alcohol, self-harm, or mental and emotional disengagement. These negative behaviors could be a result of the loss of sense of belonging, purpose, and social support that student-athletes experience when involuntarily transitioning out of their athletic identity. Having a strong athletic identity and sense of belonging in their sport can prevent student-athletes from engaging in or exploring other interests outside of their sport, such as leisure or recreational activities. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between athletic identity and leisure coping strategies during and after non-normative life events that end student-athlete participation in their sport.
Download or read book A Look at Health Risk taking Behaviors and Sensation Seeking in NAIA College Athletes written by Darcy Loy Downey and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies indicate a high level of risk taking behavior among student-athletes in the college setting. There are questions as to whether risk-taking behaviors stem from the unique social and academic environment experienced by intercollegiate athletes, or due to other factors such as sensation seeking or other personality traits, perceived norms, peer influence or an amplification of the common college experience of experimentation. However, most research has focused on student-athletes from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). This study examined (1) health risk taking behaviors, (2) sensation seeking and (3) perceived norms among gender and sport-type (contact or non-contact) in a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) population. Participants (N=63) completed a 78-item questionnaire and reported on risk-taking behaviors (alcohol, marijuana, gambling and sexual risks, for a 12 month period), sensation seeking and perceived norms. Findings from this research indicate that non-contact athletes are more likely than contact athletes to use alcohol during the season of competition. Male and female athletes showed not significant differences in alcohol use, marijuana use and sexual risk behaviors, they did however, have significant differences in gambling behavior. High sensation seekers show strong, positive correlations with alcohol frequency and quantity during the off-season. Perceptions of others (athletes/teammates and general college population) health risk-taking behaviors are higher than their own behaviors. Additional research is needed in many of these domains to further elucidate the relationships and significance of these findings.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: To date, little research has focused on club sport athletes (CSAs) and it is unclear if their alcohol use more resembles that of varsity athletes (VAs) or the general college population. This study assessed the similarities and differences between varsity athletes (n = 90) and club sport athletes (n = 146) and the relations between their alcohol use patterns and proximity to sport-related goals, as well as other athletic and non-athletic individual difference variables, including athletic identity, plans for future sport involvement and affect. Participants were aged 18-23 (47% male) from a medium-sized Division I University. Participants completed questionnaires assessing alcohol use patterns, proximity to sport-related goals, athletic identity, plans for future sport involvement, current affect, and demographic information. Differences emerged between VA and CSA subsamples on alcohol use patterns, with VAs reporting significantly higher alcohol consumption and negative consequences associated with alcohol than did CSAs. Separate prediction models for VAs and CSAs using multiple regression were built. Results indicated that neither the key predictor variable, proximity to sport-related goals, nor any of the other theoretical predictor variables accounted for a significant portion of the variance in the VA model; however, athletic identity accounted for an additional 4% of the variance beyond demographic factors in alcohol use patterns for CSAs. Those CSAs with greater athletic identity had more problematic alcohol use. Future studies may wish to focus on shared variables such as peer environment rather than on individual difference factors.

Yurish and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Intercollegiate athletes balance many roles during a vital time of their identity development. Research regarding collegiate level athletic identity has grown in the past thirty years. More specifically, the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS; Brewer, Van Raalte, and Linder, 1993) was developed to assess the psychological benefits and risks associated with athletic identity. Much of the previous literature has examined these benefits and risks in Division I student-athletes. The goal of this study was to explore the relationship between athletic identity and well-being in Division III student-athletes, a generally understudied population. An additional aim of the study was to determine if participation in non-athletic activities (campus involvement) positively impacted well-being in Division III student-athletes. The results indicated a significant relationship between athletic identity and well-being. Furthermore, the interaction of campus involvement, athletic identity, and well-being was determined to not be significant. Clinical implications, limitations and strengths to the study, and future directions are discussed. Keywords: athletic identity, campus involvement, satisfaction with life, perceived social support, mental health, well-being, student-athletes " -- Abstract

Book excerpt: Colleges across the country are continually working to address problems with partying amongst college students. Research suggests one of the most effective ways to decrease partying behaviors is through interventions that provide normative feedback. The Brief Young Adult Alcohol Consequences Questionnaire scale was used to measure the consequence of drinking for young adults. Freshman and Sophomore participants were combined to make a new Lower-Level Students group (n = 147). Junior, Senior and Graduate Student participants were combined to create a new Upper-level Students group (n = 49). A "Partier" Self-Concept Scale measured how participants see social behaviors as a partier. An independent samples t-test determined that no significant difference between Upper-Level Students (M = 3.07, SD = 1.77) and Lower-Level Students (M = 2.60, SD = 1.95) on partier identity (t (194) = -1.47, p = .551). A Pearson's r correlation found that students who identified as "partiers" experienced more negative consequences of alcohol use (r (197) = .58, p
