PERSONALITY PSYCHOLOGICAL DIFFERENTIAL FEMALE TEAM SPORTS PERSON GAMES

Introduction

Sports come cloaked in many guises-men in defiance of nature, man confronting man, man against animal, man against machine. The range of athletic competition is great from individual contests to team meets, from summer games to winter past times from regional events to national competition. Whether aquatics, skiing or hot dog skiing, motorcycle racing or motorboat racing, demolition derby or Irish Sweepstakes Derby, lumberjacking or wrist wrestling, Gaelic games or Olympic games, each has its own unique character, its own interest and passion, and its own enthusiasts. All sports however have two common denominator dynamic challenges to man and a psychological spur to victory.

Sports psychology is the scientific study of behavior in sports or sports related context. It is apsychological attempt to understand underlying sports behavior. Sports psychology is defined as the study of mental processes as they relate to human sports performance. It consists of theories and laws of learning the importance of reinforcement and the linking of perceptual abilities with motor performance which contribute to the body of knowledge. The sports psychologists utilize the information when studying topics such as aggression, intelligence, Personality and personality development.

The Personality is a dynamic organization within the individual of those psycho-physical systems that determine his unique Personality to the environment (Allport, 1948).The personality trait concepts are also very much a part of Eysenck’s (1967) theory of personality. In Eysenck’s (1993) view, personality consists of hierarchy structure of personality factors. At the top of this hierarchy are broad, general dimensions called types. Personality composed of traits, which in turn are made up of habitual responses, which are composed of specific response, the behavior actually observed, Eysenck et. al (1962) hypothesized three broad personality dimensions: neuroticism stability, extraversion –introversion and psychoticism, which are evaluated and measured through a personality inventory. The Eysenck personality inventory (EPI) is designed to measure the two pervasive and relatively independent dimensions of neuroticism stability and extraversion – introversion as identified by Eysenck (1964). Neuroticism refers to general emotional

instability and the individual‘s predisposition to neurotic breakdown under stress, while extraversion refers to the uninhibitive, outgoing, impulsive, and sociable inclinations of a person. Cattell (1962) defined trait as structure of the personality inferred from behavior in different situations. He distinguishes four types of traits as common traits which are widely distributed in general population like honesty, aggression, cooperation;

The purpose of the study was to find the “Personality as a Psychological Differential among FemaleTeam Sports person in some selected games”. It was hypothesized that there might not have been significant difference in personality as a psychological variable among femaleteam sports person.

Table 1 reveals that the ‘t’ value for Inter university femaleHandball team sports person and inter universityfemaleHockey team sports person with respect to their mean score on ‘Personality’ came out to be 4.29 (‘t’ = 2.20for df 20) which is significant at 0.05 level of confidence. This indicates that the inter university femaleHandball team sports person differ significantly with respect to ‘Personality’. Since the mean score for inter university femaleHandball team sports person (53.91) is higher in comparison to inter university femaleHockey team sports person (26.27), it may be interpreted inter university femaleHandball team sports person are more neurotic which is nothing but reflection of extreme level of cortical nervous functioning under situation which leads to arousal. They are uninhibitive, impulsive, dominant, assertive, craving for excitement and activities, often tends to take chances and risks, express their feeling openly in comparison to the inter university femaleHockey team sports person. Hence the formulated null hypothesis that “There will be no significant difference between inter university femaleHockey team sports person and inter university femaleHandball team sports person on personality” stands rejected.
