Identity Formation
Abstract
While college students experience changes within their identities, Black student-athletes may experience additional barriers to self-acceptance or worth. This presentation will center on the moral development and self-authorship process and will also explore identity formation and ecological impacts on mental health. Presenters will discuss overcoming obstacles, identifying strengths, and conceptualizing the intersection of identities within the studentathlete experience.
