Abstract Details

2010, Doctor of Education, Ashland University, College of Education.
This project replicated a previous study by Simons, Bosworth, Fujita, and Jenson (2007) examining the existence of an athletic stigma on a university campus. For this investigation, the researcher adapted the original instrument and surveyed 252 athletes on a comprehensive Midwestern NCAA Division II university campus. The survey provided both quantitative and qualitative data. The first research question examined how athletes believed professors at the institution perceived and treated them. Despite only 12% of the participants indicating a negative perception from professors, the qualitative data confirmed the presence of a stigma from some professors. The second research question compared this study's results to the previous study. Overall, the participants indicated a more positive perception from faculty at this institution than in the original study.
