“…Athletic identity, the degree to which an individual identifies with their role as an athlete 46 (Brewer, Van Raalte, & Linder, 1993), has received much attention in the field of sport 47 psychology (Ronkainen, Kavoura, & Ryba, 2016) not only because athletes continuously sculpt 48 their identities through both positive and negative sport experiences, such as winning and losing, 49 but also due to the role of athletic identity in athlete burnout (Black & Smith, 2007;Gustafsson, 50 Hassmén, Kenttä, & Johansson, 2008; Martin & Horn, 2013), which can result in reduced 51 performance and increased rates of dropout (Gustafsson et al, 2008;Lonsdale & Hodge, 2011). 52…”

“…The results show that, like an athlete, models must adopt an extreme lifestyle in order to meet the requirements of their role. Research within Sport Psychology reveals that an athletic identity is often formed amongst those immersed in such roles (Ronkainen et al 2016;Brewer et al 1993) and it is likely that such occupational identities are part of the fashion models sense of self also; something which merits further research.…”

Young people’s experiences of fashion modelling: An exploratory phenomenological study

Research about fashion modelling within Psychology remains sparse. Rare empirical studies which do exist exhibit a tendency to pathologise models, and provide only a superficial insight into this career. Little is known about who a fashion model really is, what a young person who models experiences in their careers, or how they make sense of this role. With this in mind, the current study sought to explore the lived experience of young people who are fashion models. Three participants offered experiential accounts of modelling in the fashion industry, and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) revealed superordinate themes: 'Growth and Development', 'Changes in Self-Perception', and 'A Job? Or a Way of Life?'. Change was found to be an integral part of the participants' experiences, which led to both positive and negative developmental outcomes, including a self-reported growth in confidence and maturity, yet a potentially more self-critical view of one's appearance. The role seemed to be an all-encompassing lifestyle rather than a job, and it is argued that modelling at a young age may act as a catalyst for a transition into adulthood. This study is exploratory in nature but provides an initial insight into the experiences of fashion modelling. The discussion identifies ways in which cognate sub-disciplines of Psychology may contribute to this area of research, thus developing and extending further the Psychological literature base in the field of fashion studies.

“…Self and identity are core concepts in Social and Behavioral Sciences. 1 The earliest findings on these concepts can be attributed to James, 2 who regarded the self as a prime determinant of human thoughts, actions, and feelings. Over the years incongruities in the identity theory have been highlighted: unity versus multiplicity, and personal versus social.…”

Introduction: The identity of the role of athlete (athletic identity - AI) can be understood as an aspect of self-concept, more specifically as a cognitive structure that guides and organizes the processing of self-related information. Objective: To verify studies that have developed or validated instruments to measure AI, and to identify the psychometric properties presented by these instruments. Methods: We searched for articles in the Scopus, APA (PsycNET), Lilacs, Scielo, ScienceDirect, SPORTdiscus and Pubmed databases with the descriptors (“athletic identity” OR “social identity” OR “self-identity” OR “athlete identity”) AND (“athlete” OR “sport” OR “type of sport”) AND (“validation” OR “validity” OR “adaptation”). Results: Of the 21 studies selected for analysis, the majority was found to have employed the theoretical assumption of athletic identity of Brewer, Van Raalte & Linder (1993), while with regard to the validity process, it was ascertained that all the studies included in the review had construct validity. Conclusion: It is suggested that future studies into validation processes of instruments related to the identity of the role of athlete apply the Item Response Theory (IRT) to make the construct validation process more reliable, attaching greater importance to the items included in the instrument. In addition, it is recommended that the criterion validity process be carried out with the intention of verifying construct stability in different populations.
