摘要：Purpose: Although personality research in psychology of sport has a long history, a little is known about the personality
of the team sport players among university students. The aim of this study is to investigate differences in
personality traits between Team Sport Players (TSP), Physical Education Students (PES) and Other Faculties
Students (OFS).
Material: Participants in the cross-sectional study were 441 university students aged between 18 and 34 years old
(M = 22.09, SD = 2.19), including 60.09% of men, at a large university in the south of Poland. The NEO-FFI
questionnaire was used to assess Big-Five personality traits.
Results: One-way ANOVA revealed that TSP sample scored significantly lower in neuroticism, openness and
agreeableness than both PES and OFS groups. TSP also demonstrated higher scores in extraversion, in
comparison to PES. The PES and OFS did not differ one another in personality traits. Conscientiousness was
at the same level in all three groups.
Conclusions: Increasing achievement motivation and compliance with norms may heighten conscientiousness among
undergraduates. The information about personality should be used by the coach to team conflict reduction,
to make an appropriate selection decision and to develop individual development plans for particular team
members.
