Abstract Details

2006, Master of Science in Sport Studies, Miami University, Physical Education, Health, and Sport Studies.
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between athletic identity and life satisfaction. In addition, a secondary purpose was to determine whether athletic identity or life satisfaction would differ by level of competition. Finally, a third purpose was to determine if athletic identity or life satisfaction would differ by gender. Results showed that athletic identity was not significantly related to life satisfaction. Athletic identity, as measured by the AIMS, was found to be significantly different between Division-I and Division-III student-athletes. A significant difference was also found between Division-I and Division-III student-athletes in reported life satisfaction. No significant gender differences were found in athletic identity or life satisfaction. Results also indicated a significant relationship between life satisfaction and stress. The current study addresses level of athletic competition differences and adds a new knowledge base to the previously unexplored area of life satisfaction of student-athletes.
