Role conflict and identity salience: College athletics and the academic role

Role conflict and identity salience: College athletics and the academic role AbstractIdentity theorists have proposed several variables as influencing the salience of an individual's role. Based upon four years of participant observation with a major college basketball team, we examine the changing salience of athletes' athletic, social, and especially academic roles. Their experiences with role conflict and socialization affirm previously proposed variables and suggest additional ones. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Social Science Journal Taylor & Francis
