The athletes were asked to complete the NEO-FFI questionnaire for 60 questions. For data analysis, descriptive statistics including mean and standard deviations ... and inferential statistics: independent t-test were used.
Results: The findings of the study showed that the athletes' score in group sports in agreement, extraversion and task is significantly higher than individual sports. Individual athletes had a high risk of neuroticism, and athletes had a lower score than men in all of the components except for neuroticism.
