ABSTRACT:
Using a high school athlete population (N=389), this study tested the relationship of scores on the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS) to age, gender, years of athletic experience, ethnicity, and expectations of competing at the college/pro level. In regards to gender, males had a stronger athletic identity than females and had higher expectations of playing at the college/pro level. Regardless of gender, athletes who expected to play in college or the pros and athletes with greater sport experience had higher athletic identities. No differences occurred across grade and competitive level, but the data indicated a trend for athletic identity to strengthen from Freshmen to JV to Varsity. Mexican-Americans had stronger athletic identities than African-Americans and Caucasians, but African-Americans had higher expectations of playing in college and the pros.
