There is a theoretical and empirical basis that suggests that passion and identity are interrelated and that they can cross the achievement domain in influencing outcomes. Using a sample of student-athletes (N = 187), the first purpose of this study was to examine whether academic identity and athletic variables (athletic identity, harmonious and obsessive passion for sport) can predict academic performance and persistence. The second purpose was to determine whether these relationships are invariant across sex and first-generation status. Academic outcomes were positively predicted by academic identity and negatively predicted by athletic identity. Harmonious and obsessive passion for sport were both negatively related to academic performance indirectly through athletic identity. Harmonious passion also was a weak positive predictor of academic persistence. The identified relationships were largely invariant across sex and first-generation status. Findings suggest that both academic and athletic variables can predict academic outcomes.

有一个理论和经验基础表明，激情和身份是相互关联的，并且它们可以跨越成就领域来影响结果。使用学生运动员样本（N = 187），本研究的第一个目的是检验学术认同和运动变量（运动认同、对运动的和谐和痴迷的热情）是否可以预测学业成绩和坚持。第二个目的是确定这些关系是否在性别和第一代身份之间保持不变。学业认同正向预测学业成绩，而运动认同则负向预测学业成绩。对运动的和谐和痴迷的热情都通过运动身份间接地与学业成绩呈负相关。和谐的热情也是学业持久性的弱积极预测因素。所确定的关系在性别和第一代身份之间基本上是不变的。研究结果表明，学术和运动变量都可以预测学术成果。
