From at least the time of George Herbert Mead, theorists have argued for the invocation of multiple identities in one situation; however, why multiple identities are simultaneously invoked remains a question. Both identity theory and feminist theory conceptually recognize the importance of the influence of multiple identities in a single situation; however, little is known about why these identities are concurrently invoked. In an exploratory analysis grounded in identity theory and using a sample of amateur bodybuilders obtained via a mail survey, this paper considers the issue of meaning independence in understanding why multiple identities are concurrently invoked. Based on logistic regression results, two of the three hypotheses advanced were supported. Identity meanings appear to be an important influence on the number of identities invoked in a situation.
