The paradox of progress: How RAE research may be fueling inequity in sport
First observed four decades ago and documented in countless studies since, relative age effects (RAEs) describe selection biases advantaging children born earlier in an age-group cut-off period (e.g., January to March in many youth sports systems), over their younger peers born later in the same year (1,2). A relatively greater chronological age can often manifest itself though greater size, strength, coordination and/or cognitive development, an…
I wasn’t that good at it but I pretended to be”: Students’ Experiences of the Impostor Phenomenon in Academic Settings
The impostor phenomenon (IP) is an internalized feeling of fraudulence characterized by beliefs that one’s personal successes are due to external factors (e.g., luck) rather than internal attributes. Individuals who suffer from impostor feelings may feel that they are not really intelligent or capable but have instead fooled others. Written descriptions of IP experiences were provided by 879 graduate and undergraduate students and submitted to co…
Confusion Reigns: An Analysis of Responses to U.S. Soccer Age Cut-Off Date Policy Change
Relative age effects (RAEs) have been associated with the common practice of grouping athletes by chronological age. Development and selection advantages are often awarded to those who are born closer to, but following, the cut-off date employed by sport systems. In 2015, the U.S. Soccer Federation announced that it would be changing its birth-year registration cut-off date from August 1st to January 1st. This change was introduced to align the U…
Taking stock and effecting change: Curriculum evaluation through a review of course syllabi
A multi-disciplinary academic unit at a Canadian university completed an evaluation of course syllabi used in its undergraduate programmes over the previous five years. This paper examines the reasons for the evaluation, the processes employed to collect and analyse the data, and how the results will be incorporated into the next steps of the overall curricula reform planned within the unit. The evaluation focused on the unit’s adherence to depar…
Investigating the relationship between the relative age effect and leadership behaviors among male ice hockey players
This study examined the role of relative age on leadership behaviors among male house league ice hockey players. Athletes completed an online survey that solicited their birthdate along with their responses to the leadership scale for sport. As expected, the results of our analyses revealed no relative age effects. Captains scored significantly higher on the training and instruction, democratic behavior and social support dimensions of the leader…
