The social psychological concept of identity has been recognized as an important approach to the study of role-related behavior, including sports behavior. Identity has been linked theoretically to the self-concept via the notion of a salience hierarchy, and the salience of an identity in turn has been shown to be associated with time spent in role and other measures of role performance. In this article we present some measurement procedures for the study of the sport identity, and we demonstrate the utility of these procedures by testing hypotheses derived from Stryker and Serpe’s (1982) research on religious role behavior. The sample used to test these hypotheses is a purposive sample of 220 male college students and athletes.

This paper uses a social psychological model to examine the educational attainment and expectations of 569 male and female Education students enrolled in a major university in Western Canada. Structural equation modeling was used to examine the effects of gender on six social psychological variables (positive affect, negative affect, interaction with students, interaction with professors, motivation, and self-concept of ability) and the effects of gender and the social psychological variables on the students' grade point averages and educational expectations. In comparison with males, females had higher positive affect and more positive motivation. Two of the social psychological variables, self-concept of ability and interaction with students, had strong effects on grade point average and slightly weaker effects on educational expectations. When the interaction effects of gender and the social psychological variables were added to the analyses, slight increases in the explained variance in grade point average and educational expectations were evident. Females had slightly higher grade point averages than males and males had slightly higher educational expectations than females.

Elderly Living

The purposes of this study are to address elderly entrepreneurship in the context of corporate entrepreneurship, to determine its dimensions, and to make suggestions with the results obtained. The systematic review method was adopted in the study. According to the findings, it has been determined that corporate elderly entrepreneurship includes innovative risk and opportunity management, innovative elderly initiative, innovative proactivity, competition management, and resource management. It is recommended to meet the needs arising due to the social, psychological, cognitive, physical, and health-related decline of elderly consumers through corporate social entrepreneurship. This type of entrepreneurship is an important approach added to the literature to meet the consumer needs that differ with the increasing elderly population. Providing the needs and satisfaction of the elderly is possible with corporate entrepreneurship. Determining the future needs of the elderly living in a nursing home or with their families requires management in innovation.

Cultural Transitions

This article describes the social psychological process that underlies the cultural transition of sojourners. Herein the empirical and theoretical literature on cultural transitions (and in particular cultural repatriation and the relevant literature on self-concept and identity) is analyzed, critiqued, and synthesized in an attempt to understand the near ubiquitous distress experienced during repatriation. The relation among self-concept, cultural identity, and cultural transitions is explored, and in light of the paucity of comprehensive repatriation models, a new predictive model is proposed that explicates these relations. Shifts in cultural identity are classified as subtractive, additive, affirmative, or intercultural, and research directions are suggested.

Abstract. Grounded in social-psychological literature, this experimental study assessed the effects of two so-called “wise” interventions implemented in a student study program. The interventions took place during the very first week at university, a presumed pivotal phase of transition. A group of 375 freshmen in psychology were randomly assigned to three conditions: control, social belonging, and self-affirmation. Following the intervention, students in the social-belonging condition expressed less social apprehension, a higher social integration, and a stronger intention to persist one month later than the other participants. They also relied more on peers as a source of support when confronted with a study task. Students in the self-affirmation condition felt more self-affirmed at the end of the intervention but didn’t benefit from other lasting effects. The results suggest that some well-timed and well-targeted “wise” interventions could provide lasting positive consequences for student adjustment. The respective merits of social-belonging and self-affirmation interventions are also discussed.

Classification of employees as objects of economic analysis is offered: "the economic man", "the man of the organization", "the social man" and "the asocial man". Related models give the opportunity to predict behavior of the firm in different situations, such as shocks of various nature.
