This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique blend of theory and practice within the world of group psychotherapy, this text discusses diversity issues in group contexts within the realm of teaching, consulting, and facilitating psychotherapy groups. Chapters present a unique perspective on diversity issues within certain populations, such as prisoners, elite athletes, and high-risk youth, and examine questions around race, language, ability, gender, and the similarities and differences between the leader and their clients. Such examples provide an intricate look into the psychological dynamics that arise within these populations and the skill of group therapists in honoring their clients’ humanity. Readers will appreciate the practical examples of how to navigate difficult dynamics such as microaggressions and the role of compassion as a foundational principle of practice for group therapists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The athlete is a mystery to many and the journey athletes encounter involve a number of complex events that over time can lead to unlimited success in and outside of the sporting environment. However being an athlete also brings on complex issues and requires a unique set of personal development services specifically developed and intended for the athlete. Unlike anytime in our sports history, athletes require a specific set of personal development services to assist in their overall personal development. Males as well as female athletes, from a variety of social economic backgrounds are engaging in destructive and at times criminal behavior. Also all athletes will experience a transition from the youth level, collegiate level and if fortunate on the professional level. This book delivers a historical overview, researched based theory and more importantly methods of application specifically targeting the athlete. Athletic Identity: Invincible and Invisible, the Personal Development of the Athlete, is about the journey all athletes face due to their participation in sport. The book examines the role athletic identity plays in an athlete’s personal, social and professional development. The book also introduces unique stages all athletes enter and exit while involved in sports participation. The book is contains years research to provide the necessary curriculum and practical approach needed when providing holistic personal development services for athletes.

Download or read book The Relationship Between Athletic Identity and Physical Activity Levels After Retirement from Collegiate Sports written by Erin J. Reifsteck and published by . 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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Including the work of top sports communication researchers, Examining Identity in Sports Media explores identity issues, including gender, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, and (dis)ability, as well as the intersections within these various identity issues. This co-edited, twelve-chapter book investigates how various identity groups are framed, treated, affected, and shaped by a ubiquitous sports media, including television, magazines, film, the Internet, and newspapers. While other books may devote a chapter or section to issues of identity in sports media, this book offers a complete examination of identity from cover to cover, allowing identity variables to be both isolated and intermingled to capture how identity is negotiated within sports media platforms. Far more than a series of case studies, this book surveys the current state of the field while providing insight on future directions for identity scholarship in sports communication. Examining Identity in Sports Media is ideal for undergraduate or graduate-level courses in Sports Communication, Sports Media, Media Criticism, Sports Sociology, Gender Communication, and Identity Politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the moral foundations of intercollegiate student-athletes in relation to their athletic identity, specifically with respect to student-development in college. Research has established that prolonged participation in sport contributes to the development of an athletic identity (Brewer & Cornelius, 2001; Brewer, Van Raalte & Linder, 1990; Cieslak, 2004) and countless studies have identified significant categorical differences in moral reasoning tendencies between student-athletes and non-athlete students (Bonfiglio, 2011; Bredemeier & Shields, 2006; Howard-Hamilton & Sina, 2001; Lyons & Turner, 2015; Priest, Krause, & Beach, 1999). Two hundred and thirty-eight NCAA Division I intercollegiate, club sport, and intramural sport student-athletes, possessing varying degrees of athletic identity, served as participants. Athletic Identity was measured with the 7-item, 3-factor abbreviated version of the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (Brewer & Cornelius, 2001), and the Moral Foundations Questionnaire (MFQ) (Graham, et al., 2011) was used to evaluate the moral foundations on which elite-athletes rely. Regression analyses suggested that athletic identity was significantly related to the Ingroup/loyalty, Authority/respect, and Purity/sanctity foundations of the Moral Foundations Theory (MFT) (Graham et al., 2011). ANOVA analyses indicated that female athletes scored higher on Harm/care and Fairness/reciprocity than male athletes and that time (e.g., years of collegiate sporting experience) may contribute to the development of athletes{u2019} moral orientations. The results suggest that maintaining increased degrees of athletic identity may play a role in the moral foundations on which NCAA Division I intercollegiate student-athletes rely.

Download or read book Physical Self-concept and Athletic Identity Among Former Collegiate Athletes written by Jennifer K. Shannon and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined physical self-concept, global self-esteem, and athletic identity among former collegiate athletes. 308 former Division 1 NCAA collegiate athletes participated in the study. This study replicated findings that physical self-worth demonstrates a positive relation with global self-esteem. Athletic identity was shown to mediate the relation between physical self-concept and global self-esteem for former collegiate athletes. Athletic identity was also shown to mediate the relation between physical activity and physical self-concept. Athletic identity did not serve as a moderating variable for the entire sample, but was shown to moderate the relation between physical activity and physical self-concept for those no longer participating in their collegiate sport and those no longer identifying as an athlete. Athletic identity and global self-esteem demonstrated age-related differences. These findings suggest that there is some maintenance of athletic identity for many former collegiate athletes, and that identity remains influential in its association with physical self-concept.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through decades of global research and observation of athletes at all levels, I have analyzed their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This book delivers an examination of the athlete's personal development process. Specifically, I explore the multi-level platform of the transition to transformation dynamics and detail how athletes are affected by external factors. This includes examining the circumstances that lead to a vulnerable athlete who lacks the developmental foundation needed to successfully build their personal character and manage the many transitions associated with sports participation. The essence of this book illustrates that: An athlete never knows who he/she is until they are no longer an athlete. By virtue of their beliefs, athletes choose an identity. This identity choice builds and drives both their internal foundation of character and their external projections of comfort, thus providing varying and often conflicting emotions when identifying as an athlete. These factors, when woven together, produce either ignorance or education that guide the athlete on a future journey of either sorrow and pain or joy and happiness. If used for its intended purpose, this book will assist athletes in understanding who they are, what they do well and, overall, what they can possibly become before reaching the final game of their careers. This allows the athlete to: Determine who they are while identifying as an athlete. --Dr. Mark Robinson Ph.D.

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.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Research indicates that many athletes fail to maintain regular physical activity participation after transitioning out of competitive sports. Despite the important health consequences for athletes who drop from high activity to inactivity after completing their athletic careers, long-term physical activity maintenance among former college athletes is understudied. The present study examined physical activity behavior in former college athletes. Previous research suggests that self-identity influences physical activity participation, and individuals who are motivated by self-determined and volitional reasons are more likely to maintain their exercise behavior over time. Therefore, this research examined a theoretical model that incorporates tenets of identity theory and self-determination theory to investigate the relationships among identity, motivation, and physical activity participation in former college athletes. A total of 282 former Division I college athletes completed an online survey consisting of the Exercise Identity Scale, the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale, the Behavioral Regulation for Exercise Questionnaire, the Godin Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire, and demographic items. Results suggest that exercise identity and athletic identity are both positively related to physical activity in former college athletes, and the identity - physical activity relationship was only partially mediated by self-determined forms of motivation. Exercise identity was a stronger predictor of self-determined motivation and physical activity compared to athletic identity. There was a significant interaction effect between exercise identity and athletic identity such that having a higher exercise identity strengthened the athletic identity - physical activity relationship. Path analyses are presented that model the direct and indirect effects among the identity, motivation, and physical activity variables. The relevant implications of these models for former college athletes and their participation in physical activity are discussed. The findings of this study add to our understanding of former college athletes' physical activity behavior within an identity and self-determination theory framework, and provide an evidence base to guide the development of appropriate interventions that can promote healthy, active lifestyles among current and future student-athletes."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Williams and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When addressing the unique challenges faced by college student-athletes, counselors should take a holistic approach, with attention given to the potential benefits of sport, rather than working only from a deficit model. This study examines the relationships among athletic identity, sport commitment, time participating in sport, and social support, life satisfaction, holistic wellness for college student-athletes. Using Pearson Product Moment correlations, two separate Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA), and Step-wise Regression analyses, respectively, several variables had significant statistical and practical relationships. There were differences among the study variables based on each of the demographic variables (i.e., gender, ethnicity, seasonal status, year-in-school, playing status, and division level) and in holistic wellness variables based on other study variables. Only life satisfaction, sport commitment, and social support satisfaction accounted for a significant portion of variance in holistic wellness (23%)."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Download or read book The Black Male Student Athlete Through the Prism of Sport written by Albert Yves Bimper and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Black experience throughout the history sport has engendered significant transformations to the landscape and culture of both sport and society. However, in the present sociocultural climate of intercollegiate athletics, the disproportion of Black male student athletes in the revenue generating high profile sports have a unique experience in sport unlike their athlete and non-athlete counterparts. The uniqueness of these student athletes' experiences exists in the ways in which they figure to negotiate their Blackness and their roles as an athlete and student contextualized within the current racial climate of sport culture. There remains a gap in existing literature and research of the conditions and lived experiences of Black student athletes concerning the developmental process of racial identity and its relationship with their athletic identities and academic self-concepts. The present research addresses this gap of knowledge about these stakeholders (i.e. the Black male student athlete) in sport by conducting a mix-methods study exploring the issues of identities, academic self-concept, and developing a deeper understanding based on the experiential knowledge of participants. The relationships between racial and athletic identity and academic self-concept were examined with a participant sample of Black male college football players at Division 1-A universities (N=255). Additionally, a qualitative instrumental case study grounded by Critical Race Theory explored the experiences and perceptions of eleven Black male student athletes participating in high profile athletic programs at predominately White institutions. The research findings indicate at least partial evidence of a relationship between pre-encounter assimilationist and miseducation attitudes with academic self-concept mediated by an elevated athletic identity of participants. There were five themes that emerged from the empirical materials. The themes are presented as: Lane Assignments, Allegiance to the Game versus Classroom, Race Matters??, Conformity, and Still at Work. This research illustrates that the identity, academic self-concepts and experiences of the Black male student athlete in college sport is vastly impacted by complex sociocultural systems. Findings suggest intercollegiate athletic support staff should purposefully accommodate the needs and experiences of student athletes with culturally relevant systems of practice to enhance student athlete development.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Introduction: Researchers have examined hegemonic masculine norms and athletic identity in regard to athletes in order to understand how traits such as aggression, violence, heterosexual self-presentation, exclusivity, etc., are positively reinforced in America's sporting culture. The expectations for aggressive sport athletes to use their bodies as weapons, play through injuries, and suppress their empathy makes transitioning into their off-field daily lives difficult. Although researchers have examined how and why college football players conform to masculine norms and an athletic identity, little is known about how these constructs do or do not manifest within the athletes of different types of sports. Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to examine college males' retrospective sporting experiences from high school in order to better understand collision, contact, and non-contact sport athletes' attitudes regarding masculine norms and athletic identity. Participants: The participants (n=94) were male students enrolled in Kinesiology courses at a Pacific northwestern university. Methods: Each participant completed a 15-minute survey consisting of demographic questions concerning their athletic background, a shortened version of the Conformity to Masculine Norms Inventory (CMNI-46), and the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS). Data Analysis: Descriptive statistics were collected regarding the participants' age, year in school, ethnicity, guardians' education level, and high school sport experience. Two MANOVAs were conducted to examine the connections, if any, between the type of sport college males excelled at most during their high school years and the CMNI-46 and the AIMS. If the MANOVA was significant, a follow-up univariate ANOVA was conducted. Lastly, a bivariate correlation was conducted for all the subscales of the two instruments. Results: The MANOVA investigating sport type differences for the CMNI-46 was statistically significant with follow-up univariate ANOVAs indicating that collision athletes were more violent than contact athletes. Discussion: This finding offers some understanding of the culture surrounding collision sports and its influence on the athletes participating."--Boise State University ScholarWorks.

Book excerpt: This volume of essays examines the ways in which sports have become a means for the communication of social identity in the United States. The essays included here explore the question, How is identity engaged in the performance and spectatorship of sports? Defining sports as the whole range of mediated professional sports, and considering actual participation in sports, the chapters herein address a varied range of ways in which sports as a cultural entity becomes a site for the creation and management of symbolic components of identity. Originating in the New Agendas in Communication symposium sponsored by the University of Texas College of Communication, this volume provides contemporary explorations of sports and identity, highlighting the perspectives of up-and-coming scholars and researchers. It has much to offer readers in communication, sociology of sport, human kinetics, and related areas.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intent of this research study was to determine the degree of influence that athletic identity had on the transitional experience of former collegiate athletes. Current research has suggested that athletes often experience adjustment difficulties when coping with retirement and lower rates of achieving career and life satisfaction outside of the sports environment. The primary focus of this study was to explore the relationship between athletic identity and the transition process for athletes after sports retirement. The data collected from this study indicate a relationship between athletic identity and the transitional experience outcomes of former collegiate athletes. Results of the study provide intercollegiate athletics practitioners with the implications of lessening the exclusiveness of athletic identity for this special group of students in order to improve an athlete's psychological disposition, career maturity and ability to achieve life satisfaction after sports retirement.
