This dataset supports research on the relationship between university football team success and non-athlete student academic outcomes. It includes survey data on student behaviors such as alcohol consumption, studying, and partying, analyzed across genders and academic quarters. The data was compiled by author Jason M. Lindo to investigate grade impacts during football season.
Use Cases
- Analyze grade differences between male and female students during fall quarters coinciding with the football season.
- Model the relationship between reported increases in alcohol consumption and decreases in studying with football team success.
- Investigate gender-specific behavioral responses, such as partying frequency, to athletic success using survey data.
Strengths
- Data is directly linked to a published research study with a clear causal hypothesis.
- Analysis includes behavioral survey metrics like alcohol consumption and studying habits.
- Temporal analysis is specific to fall quarters, aligning with the football season.
Limitations
- The specific number of rows, columns, and sample size is unknown.
- Geographic scope and number of universities included are not specified.
- Relies on self-reported survey data for behavioral measures, which may introduce bias.
