Multiple Identities and Academic Achievement: The Effects of Role Accumulation on Successful Student Role Performance Richard N. Pitt, Jr. Department of Sociology Interdisciplinary Seminar on Social Psychology September 1, 2004

Abstract This paper examines the likelihood that the number of roles an actor assumes affects how well she performs the roles in her constellation of role-identities. Specifically, I examine the effects of role accumulation on successful performance of the student role. I therefore address the following question: How do role accumulation and specific role occupancies affect student role performance?

Role-Identity Spouse Role-Identity Parent Role-Identity Org. Volunteer Role-Identity Employee Role-Identity Neighbor Role-Identity Friend Role-Identity Sibling What Are Role-Identities? Role-Identity Church Member Identity Religious Person What Is Role Accumulation? Identity Religious Person Identity Religious Person

Methods and Data Dataset: National Education Longitudinal Study Dependent Variable: Senior year grades in core subjects (English, history, science, and math) where F average is “1” and A average is “8”. Independent Variable: Sum of social positions held by each senior, using 8 fairly stable social positions. Nonacademic Controls: Gender, race, family SES Academic/Culture Controls: 10 th grade test scores, 10 th grade grades in core subjects, and pro-school peer effects. 79%76%57%43%42% 35%4%3% Of H.S.

Other Parts Of The Current Project Analysis of the interaction of role summation with specific 2 or 4 role role-combinations... similar findings. The causality question... previous (i.e., 10 th grade) levels of ability have either no impact (scores) or a negative impact (grades) on the number of roles seniors have.

So, What Do Reviewers Say? “NELS has the potential to provide salience info for each of these identities (i.e., how much time the student spends in these organizations and whether they participated as a member or officer).” “Expand the predicted outcomes to include more outcomes interesting to education scholars (e.g., dropout) or the mechanisms the author points to (e.g., self-esteem)” “I’m not convinced that the number of role-identities influences school performance versus the other way around. What about selectivity effects?” “The empirical literature has long since discredited the uniform effect of social roles. Therefore, this idea of a “count” variable being meaningful is difficult to swallow. “While I’m persuaded by the role accumulation/summation argument, maybe the author is really studying social bonds and commitment?”
