This study provides an exploratory study of student-athletes and their self-reported social well-being. Specifically, this study measures the satisfaction and social well-being of student-athletes when it comes to athletic department practices and policies. Data was gathered from the distribution of a survey to student-athletes at a major Division-I FBS NCAA institution in the Southeastern United States. Statistical analysis between a student-athlete's satisfaction with their athletic department's implemented practices and policies and their social well-being are considered. The concepts of well-being and social well-being are addressed as they related to student-athletes and constructs taken from previous studies will be used to analyze the student-athletes in this context. Theoretical implications and direction for future research are discussed. / A Thesis submitted to the Department of Sport Management in partial fulfillment of the Master of Science. / Spring Semester, 2015. / April 9, 2015. / Collegiate Athletics, Social Well-Being, Student-Athletes, Well-Being / Includes bibliographical references. / Joshua Newman, Professor Directing Thesis; Amy Kim, Committee Member; Ryan Rodenberg, Committee Member.
