ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this study was to examine the psychological characteristics of professional rodeo cowboys. Fifty-two cowboys completed four measures of stress, the Sixteen Personality Factor Test, and the Health Attribution Test. Subjects were found to report positive life satisfaction and an internal attributional style although they also reported relatively high levels of stress. Professional cowboys were also found to be alert, enthusiastic, and forthright, as well as reality based, self-sufficient, and practical. Striving and drivenness are present, but they were not different from the general population in introversion. Examines the psychological characteristics of professional rodeo cowboys. Members (n=52) of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association respond to four measures of stress, the Sixteen Personality Factor Test, and the Health Attribution Test. Subjects report positive life satisfaction and an internal attributional style, as well as relatively high levels of stress. Finds that cowboys can be described as alert, enthusiastic, forthright, reality-based, self-sufficient, and practical. Results also indicate a degree of 'drivenness' and striving, and suggest that cowboys are not different from the general population in level of introversion.
