- Abstract
Brewer, VanRaalte and Linder (1993) suggest the importance of studying the personality of athletes to understand athletic identity. Thus, the aim of this article focuses on studying the influence of the big 5 personality traits, together with age, gender and competitive level in athletic identity. Therefore, we used 215 participants from various sports and competitive levels. We use three measuring instruments, AIMS-plus, for athletic identity, the NEO-FFI-20 for the 5 personality traits and a purpose-built questionnaire to collect sociodemographic data of athletes. The results show the personality trait of extraversion and competitive level as the only two determinants of athletic identity.
