摘要：Objective.It is believed that human being is a summation of body and mind and hence the activities of body and its responses will inevitably be associated with the mind and vice versa.There are number of studies which had attempted to seek the relationship between personality characteristics and athletic activities with different conclusions.Methods.Here,the very purpose of the study was to assess the personality traits of sports men from different games and sports with non-sports men.A total of 32 sports persons from different sports and 12 non-sports men were selected as the subjects.Results.Self-reporting questionnaire was the major tool for collecting the required data.In order to gather the personality traits of the subjects,the 16 PF (personality factor) questionnaire was used.One way analysis of variance (one way ANOVA) was used to test for significant differences (p<0.05) among the personality traits of sports men and non-sports men.Whenever F-ratio was found significant,Newman-Keuls post hoc method was used to determine which group differed significantly from each other (p<0.05) in regard to the personality traits.Significant differences were noted on different personality traits including aggressiveness,realism,apprehension,radicalism,and control.In most of the personality traits,sports persons showed moderately high scores compared to that of non-sports persons.Conclusions.When considering the personality trait O (apprehension),findings indicate that the athletes were more self-assured than the non-athletes.The high level of self-assurance generally reported for sports category could be related to their various achievement behaviors and consequently influence their motivation to succeed in sports competition.
