ABSTRACT:
One hundred eight college football players completed a battery of psychological tests comprised of the Profile of Mood States (POMS), the F-scale of authoritarianism, and Levensons' Locus of Control (LOC) scale. Linebackers showed a high level of non-specific aggression, defensive backs had more positive psychological profiles than other players, freshmen players were more fatigued and disoriented than upperclassmen and redshirted (non-playing) players had substantially more aggression than non-redshirted players. The results are discussed against a back-drop of current football stereotypes. Examines mood disturbance, authoritarianism and locus of control of college football players according to position, playing or non-playing status and seniority. Reports that linebackers showed higher levels of mood disturbance than other positions and that freshmen tended to be more disoriented and fatiqued than other players. Suggests that non-playing players have more aggression than active players. Discusses the findings in terms of popular stereotypes.
