Table 1_A study on identity conflict, self-concept clarity, and dual career adaptability among collegiate athletes.docx Hsueh-Chung Wang (24867421) Wan Chen Lu (24867424) Hsin Chuan Chen (24867427) Sports Medicine career transition conservation of resources theory (COR) personal resources role strain self-regulation <p>The study examined the prospective associations among academic–athletic identity conflict (role interference), self-concept clarity, and dual career adaptability among Taiwanese collegiate student-athletes. Drawing on Conservation of Resources theory, self-concept clarity was conceptualised as a potentially relevant personal psychological resource associated with student-athletes’ adaptation to concurrent academic and athletic demands. A two-wave prospective association design with a cross-sectional first stage (four-month interval) was employed. Identity conflict and self-concept clarity were assessed at Time 1, and dual career adaptability was assessed at Time 2. Valid paired responses were obtained from 414 student-athletes. A statistically significant indirect prospective association was observed through self-concept clarity: Time 1 identity conflict was negatively associated with Time 1 self-concept clarity, which was subsequently associated with lower Time 2 dual career adaptability measured 4 months later. The bootstrap 95% confidence interval for the indirect association did not include zero. Because baseline adaptability was not controlled for at Time 1, these findings represent prospective cross-lagged level-associations rather than intra-individual changes or development in adaptability over time. The findings are consistent with Conservation of Resources theory and suggest that self-concept clarity may represent one of several psychological resources relevant to dual career adaptation within the Taiwanese socio-cultural context.</p> 2026-09-14T04:25:29Z Dataset Dataset 10.3389/fspor.2026.1877707.s001 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Table_1_A_study_on_identity_conflict_self-concept_clarity_and_dual_career_adaptability_among_collegiate_athletes_docx/33717463 CC BY 4.0
