Students also described their academic identity using a trait checklist, then completed scales of life satisfaction, depression, loneliness, social support, self-efficacy, and academic intrinsic motivation. NumAC was correlated with intrinsic motivation, life satisfaction, and low depression. Negative academic identity trait content was correlated with all outcome measures. Race and/or first-generation status was correlated with life satisfaction, self-efficacy, and depression.196
