  • Who Am I to Become? a Longitudinal Qualitative Analysis of Identity Transition in Student Athletes
    Who Am I to Become? A Longitudinal Qualitative Analysis of Identity Transition in Student Athletes Sari Little Submitted to the graduate degree program in Health, Sport, & Exercise Science and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Dissertation Defense Date: April 20, 2020 Chair: Dr. Jordan Bass Dr. Brian Gordon Dr. Susan Harvey Dr. Zachary Foste Dr. Susan Williams ii Date of Defense: 20 April 2020 The dissertation committee for Sari J. Little certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Who Am I to Become? A Longitudinal Qualitative Analysis of Identity Transition in Student Athletes _____________________________ Dr. Jordan Bass, Chair iii Abstract The purpose of this dissertation was to explore and establish a better understanding of how student athletes identify themselves and create understanding of their transition out of their final year of baccalaureate study and intercollegiate athletic eligibility. The study is supported by three primary theoretical frameworks: identity theory; social identity theory; and transition theory. Further, research on student athlete identity, athlete identity threat and foreclosure, and student athlete career decision-making self-efficacy and career preparedness also bolsters this study. Because this study seeks to create understanding of the lived experiences of its participants, it is qualitative in nature. Specifically, the study subscribes to the phenomenological methodology due to the descriptive and exploratory nature of the study’s purpose. The study consists of twelve interviews from six participants. The first interview with each participant occurred weeks prior to graduating from college; the second interview took place roughly six months post-graduation.

  • We Hate That School: a Content Analysis of Rivalries and Student-Run Barstool Sports Accounts
    We hate that school: A content analysis of rivalries and student-run Barstool Sports accounts by Jonathan Cody Friesen B.S., Kansas State University, 2019 A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2021 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Jacob Groshek Copyright © Jonathan Friesen 2021. Abstract Rivalries are a unique aspect of college life. The longstanding traditions that these rivalries bring to individuals provide a sense of excitement on campus. Still, sometimes these rivalries can cross a line between competition on the field and a feud in the stands. As technology has developed and the role of social media is constantly changing, the trash-talk between fans of rival schools is becoming more public and, in some cases, more uncivil. The study examines multiple college sports rivalries and interactions on Twitter among student-run Barstool Sports accounts. Specifically, this study looks into the behavior towards rivals using eight Barstool Sports student-run accounts across four different college rivalries. This study found six different characteristics, which can inform future studies of individual fan behavior on social media, three of which are negative, namely (1) Glory out of reflected failure. (2) Replying to the rival account. (3) Targeting the rival using stereotypes. The study found three positive instances that these accounts relied upon: (4) Using humor relatable to students at the school. (5) Creating conversations online for fans of the school. (6) Expressing pride for alumni or university.
