ABSTRACT:
Major college football players were compared with students who had lettered in football in high school but were no longer playing competitively and peers who had never lettered in any sport. Football players were found to be less depressed, fatigued, and confused than their non-football playing peers, and were more powerful-other oriented. Football selects and nurtures a narrow-minded, conventional, and conservative personality and the players place a lot of emphasis on the mental aspects of physical competition. Compared college, high school, and non-football players on a variety of psychological inventories. Results showed football players to be significantly less depressed, fatigued and confused than non-footballers. Suggests that football selects for and/or nurtures a narrow-minded, conventional and conservative personality. Found that football players did emphasize the mental aspect of physical competition.
