Thank you to Dr. Leslee Fisher for taking a chance on me and mentoring me over the past three years. I always appreciated that you were caring, yet always challenging me to be better. In regard to the cultural sport psychology movement, you kept me centered by frequently encouraging me to remember my moral and ethical commitments. Although the time has flown by, when I look back, it is amazing to think about how much I have grown as a person and a scholar. Thank you for unwavering belief in me even when there were times I did not believe in myself. I have been blessed to have you in my corner! Thank you to Dr. Rebecca Zakrajsek for serving on my committee and supervising my consulting hours. Whether it was research-, consulting-, class-, or job-related, every time I met with you, I left feeling energized and excited for potential opportunities. Because of you, I have a much firmer understanding of how to put sport psychology knowledge into practice. Thank you to Dr. Jennifer Ann Morrow for serving on my committee and providing amazing feedback on this project. Entering my PhD program, one of my goals was to enhance the depth and breadth of my knowledge pertaining to quantitative research methods, and I feel I have accomplished this. Because of you, I feel like I have been set up well for success as a future scholar and teacher. Thank you to Dr. Lars Dzikus for serving on my committee and providing valuable feedback on this project and other related studies pertaining to the sociocultural aspects of running. The amount of care and investment that you exhibit for students is admirable and is something that I strive to emulate as a future professor. iv Thank you to the nine expert reviewers who participated in the four-step Delphi process in this study. You all were amazingly generous with your time, particularly with a short turnaround time for each round. By providing invaluable feedback, you added an extra layer of rigor to this study and ultimately helped create a fine scale that will hopefully be used with runners. I am truly indebted to you all. Likewise, thank you to the former collegiate runners who provided feedback during the pretest phase of the scale development. Each of you made a valuable contribution to the scale and/or provided great ideas for future research on running identity. Thank you to Leslie Larsen and Joe Raabe for providing feedback on this project, but even more so for the memories that were created over the past three years. I would not have chosen anyone else to be in my cohort. Finally, thank you to my mother, father, brother, sister, and grandparents for supporting me over the last 28+ years of my life. Through the highs and the lows, you always believed in me and encouraged me to aim high. You all make me a better person, and your unconditional love is something that cannot be repaid. I love you. v Abstract The construct of running identity has been explored in both the sport psychology (e.g., Busanich, McGannon, & Schinke, 2012) and sport sociology literature (e.g., Allen-Collinson & Hockey, 2007). In comparison to other athletes, runners are typically more susceptible to exercise addiction (Coen & Ogles, 1993; Sachs, 1981), eating disorders (Wheeler, Wall, Belcastro, Conger, & Cumming, 1986), and preoccupation with leanness (Allen-Collinson & Hockey, 2007; Busanich et al., 2015). While instruments such as the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS; Brewer, Van Raalte, & Linder, 1993) and the Public-Private Athletic Identity Scale (PPAIS; Nasco & Webb, 2006) measure athletic identity, there are no instruments to date that assess the psychosocial nuances of running identity, or the degree to which one identifies with the runner role. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to develop a reliable and valid scale that assesses running identity. Items were created based on a literature review and a modified Delphi technique (Hsu & Sandford, 2007). Four hundred thirty-seven high-level U.S. runners completed 30 preliminary items in addition to the AIMS, PPAIS, demographic items, and three open-ended questions about running identity. An exploratory factor analysis with principal axis factoring and direct oblimin rotation was utilized to analyze the psychometric properties of the instrument. The resulting solution comprised 11 items and three factors: (a) Running Performance (α = .82); (b) Running Exclusivity (α = .81); and (c) Running Self-Identity (α = .67). The Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient for the overall scale was .85. Running Identity Scale scores were positively correlated with both AIMS ( r = .69, p < .01) and PPAIS scores (r = .56, p < .01), which demonstrated convergent validity. Implications and future directions are also discussed. Keywords: athletic identity, distance running, cross-country, track and field vi Preface This dissertation is divided into three main sections. In Section One, a manuscript version of the study, which entails a brief introduction, methods, results, and discussion, is presented. Section Two includes an extended literature review, which includes four main topical areas: (a) sociocultural aspects of running; (b) identity, athletic identity, and social identity; (c) changes in athletic identity during injury, retirement, and forced termination; and (d) confirmatory factor analysis. In Section Three, an extended discussion of the results is provided. vii Table of Contents Section 1: Manuscript ......................................................................................................... 1 Introduction ............................................................................................................. 1 Running Identity ......................................................................................... 3 Statement of Problem .................................................................................. 5 Methods................................................................................................................... 6 Participants .................................................................................................. 6 Procedures ................................................................................................... 7 Phase I: Creation of Items ............................................................... 7 Literature Review................................................................ 8 Delphi Technique ................................................................ 9 Phase II: Pretesting of Scale ........................................................... 11 Phase III: Pilot Testing of Scale...................................................... 11 Data Analysis .................................................................................. 13 Data Cleaning...................................................................... 13 Exploratory Factor Analysis ............................................... 14 Reliability ............................................................................ 15 Validity ............................................................................... 16 Results ..................................................................................................................... 16 Exploratory Factor Analysis ....................................................................... 16 Reliability .................................................................................................... 17 Validity ....................................................................................................... 18 Demographic

    The newsletter for Metro Aberdeen Running Club members Issue 2 January 2008 www.metroaberdeen.co.uk Issue Number 2 Welcome to Issue Number 2 of the “New Look” Metro Mouthpiece. Once again I would like to apologise for the lateness of this issue, I was aiming to get out 4 editions in 2007 but several factors (excuses) meant that this plan went “t**s up”. I will be endeavouring to get back on schedule for 2008, so get those articles, race reports, jokes, funny stories, pictures and results to me for inclusion as soon as possible at [email protected] Hopefully everyone had a successfull and injury free year of running in 2007? Personally I had a decent enough year, running small personal best times at all distances raced and, most importantly, I managed to avoid serious injury. However, how I managed to avoid hurting myself never mind how I got home in one piece after Bjoern Reiss’ leaving night drinks (pictured right) I’ll never know. My excuse is that I’d been in the pub all day, without food watching the Scotland v Ukraine match so by the time I’d met up with the others I was a wee bit cumbersome on my feet. Thanks to Bjoern for the photographic evidence. Inside this issue On the back page you will find a membership renewal form for 2008. Please complete this as soon as possible and send along with your payment of £12 to: Colin MacKay, 15 Fare View, Torphins, Aberdeenshire, AB31 4DZ. Thanks for everyone who submitted race reports etc, I hope everyone enjoys reading them as much as I did.

  • The Things Runners Have Built
    The Things Runners Have Built Jackie Lebo takes us to Eldoret, Kenya where development is taking place thanks to the investment of earnings of Kenyan runners. On this hot Saturday in early June, it seems half of Eldoret has come to shop for groceries at Tusker Mattresses Supermarket. The parking lot across the road is full. People come out, from whole families laden with paper bags branded with the supermarket logo to lone women balancing bags on their heads braving the blistering sun on their long walk home. Tusker Mattresses Supermarket is located on two floors of the five-story Komora Centre, a large building in the middle of town that covers almost an entire city block. It is owned by Moses Kiptanui, the runner who dominated the 3000 m steeplechase races for about five years in the nineties. Kiptanui broke world records, won awards, and the only thing that eluded him was the Olympic gold, which he lost by a razor thin margin to fellow Kenyan Joseph Keter in the 1996 Atlanta games. The steeplechase is special. Even more than other middle and long distance races that have brought Kenyans fame, Kenyan steeplechasers have won all eight times they entered during the last ten Olympics. In 1976 and 1980 Kenya boycotted the Olympics. It is fitting that Kiptanui, one of Kenya’s most successful athletes, is now one of the largest athlete-investors in Eldoret. Eldoret is experiencing a property boom, with growth rates of almost 8%, three times the national average. The changing skyline shows the continuing investment of runners in commercial real estate.
