  3. Introduction to Schlossberg’s Transition Theory • Theory provides insight into the factors related to the transition, the individual and the environment. • Factors determine the degree of impact a given transition will have at a particular time. • Categorized as a theory of adult development but relevant for college students. • Transitions provide opportunities for growth and development where positive outcomes cannot be assumed. • Schlossberg defines transition as “any event, or non-event, that results in changed relationships, routines, assumptions and roles” • Stresses the role of perception in transitions

  4. Types, Context and Impact of Transition • Transitions • Anticipated: ones that occur predictably Example: Graduation from high school • Unanticipated: not predicted or scheduled Example: Divorce or significant illness • Non-Event: expected but do not occur Example: Desire to have a child and inability to conceive

  5. Types, Context and Impact of Transition • Non-Events • Personal: related to individual aspirations • Example: Getting a promotion • Ripple: felt due to non-event of someone close Example: Best friend miscarries a child • Resultant: caused by an event Example: 9-11 • Delayed: anticipated event that still might occur        Example: Retirement

  6. Types, Context and Impact of Transition • Context • Refers to one’s relationship to the transition and the setting. • Impact • Alteration in one’s daily life • Can be positive and negative transitions, equal  stress

  7. The Transition Process • Reactions over time • Moving in, moving through, and moving out

  8. The Four S's • Situation • Self • Support • Strategies

  9. Situation • Trigger • Timing • Control • Role Change • Duration • Previous Experience with a Similar Transition • Concurrent Stress • Assessment

  10. Self • Two Categories • Personal and Demographic Characteristics • How an individual views life • Psychological Resources • Ways of Coping

  11. Support*Social support* • Intimate relationships • Family units • Network of Friends • Institutions and Communities • Type • Functions • Measures

  12. Strategies • Modify the situation • Control the meaning of the problem • Aid in managing the stress in the aftermath

  13. Athletes in Transition Theory • Relevant to student- athletes based on cognitive appraisal and nonevents • Player to non-player transition • Theoretical Models and Empirical Models

  14. The transition process will be difficult for athletes who: Have most strongly and exclusively based their identity on athletic performance Have the greatest gap between level of aspiration and level of ability Have had the least prior experience with the same or similar transitions Are limited in their general ability to adapt to change because of emotional and/or behavioral deficits Are limited in their ability to form and maintain supportive relationships Must deal with the transition in a context (social and/or physical) lacking material and emotional resources that could be helpful

  15. Theoretical Models • Stage Models • Denial • Anger • Bargaining • Depression • Acceptance

  16. Developmental Models • Takes into account diversity of individual and environmental factors • Adaptation to Transition • Individual Characteristics • Environmental factors • Several other factors should have been suggested (i.e. status loss, confidence, loss of control)

  17. Life Developmental Intervention • Links transitional theory to an intervention framework • Enhancement: prepares student athletes to cope with future events • Supportive: buffer the impact of any stressful aspects of a transition • Counseling: assists with the difficulty of coping with the aftermath of the transition • Empirical Perspectives • Quality of Adjustment • Context in which termination occurs • Moderators of Adjustment • Athletic Identity – athletic role as source of self-worth
