Relations of Personality Dimensions and Team Sitational Efficiency In Youth Female Volleyball Players

For the purpose of determining the differences in basic personality dimensions between female players of different team situational efficiency, 151 young female volleyball players, aged averagely 13.89±1.17years, filled out the Eysenck junior personality questionnaire (EPQ-J), designed by Eysenck & Eysenck (1975, 1994). It was established that the relation between the measured personality dimensions was not completely orthogonal because there was significant correlation between the dimensions of psychoticism and introversion-extraversion. Statistically significant differences were found by One-way ANOVA between the groups of players of different team situational efficiency in dimensions of neuroticism (F=8.57, p=0.00) and introversion-extraversion (F=3.70, p=0.03). This finding was also confirmed by multivariate discriminant analysis (Rc=0.40, p=0.00). A group of players with the highest team efficiency is characterized by the lowest degree of the neuroticism dimension, and a group of players with moderate team efficiency is characterized by the lowest degree of the introversion-extraversion dimension. The obtained results partially confirm the findings in literature about the influence of personality dimensions on efficiency in sports competitions.
