Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to examine identity development for Black college student-athletes (N = 98) at the Division 1 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level. The results revealed that (a) identity achievement status was best predicted by gender, (b) athletic identity levels were not significantly different based on gender, (c) Black males were more likely to be foreclosed than Black females, and (d) there was a positive relationship between racial identity and athletic identity. The authors also discuss implications for practice and recommendations for future research.
