Title: AN EXAMINATION OF DIFFERENCES IN DIVISION I FBS STUDENT-ATHLETE ACADEMIC AND ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE

I report the findings of my study that used a two-way MANOVA to examine differences in Division I FBS student-athlete academic and athletic performers based on three frameworks chosen to represent internal factors.

The types of performers were categorized as:
1) high academic, high athletic
2) high academic, low athletic
3) low academic, high athletic
4) low academic, low athletic

The three frameworks chosen to represent internal factors:
1) Psychological - Mindset (Dweck, 2006)
2) Developmental - Personal Growth Initiative (Robitschek, 1998)
3) Behavior-Based - Academic, Social, & Everyday Experiences (Cox, Sandstedt, Martens, Ward, Webber, & Ivey, 2004)
