• Explaining the Under-Representation of Women in Leadership Positions of Sport Organizations: A Symbolic Interactionist Perspective (2007, background): “Similar findings have been demonstrated within the sport realm as student athletes assumed a student identity when asked to take a math test, an athlete when asked to complete a selfrating inventory and performed in accordance with each identity (Yopyk & Prentice, 2005).”
• Athletic Voices and Academic Victories: African American Male Student-Athlete Experiences in the Pac-Ten (2010, background): “Researchers (Yopyk & Prentice 2005) contributed to the growing scholarly evidence that the social self is comprised of diverse identities.”
• “Don't Call Me a Student-Athlete”: The Effect of Identity Priming on Stereotype Threat for Academically Engaged African American College Athletes (2012, background): “…this supposition, previous research indicates that focusing college athletes only on their athletic identity in an academic context is sufficient to induce the stereotype threat processes that reduce academic performance when compared to priming a neutral identity (e.g., Yopyk & Prentice, 2005).”
• The Role of Gender Identities and Stereotype Salience With the Academic Performance of Male and Female College Athletes (2009, methodology): “In comparison, the identity priming manipulation in the Yopyk and Prentice (2005) study focused participants on images of doubt and defeat, as suggested by the lowered effort and self-esteem effects.”
