ABSTRACT:
Self-actualization differences, as measured by the Shostrom Personality Orientation Inventory (POI), between sexes and different degrees of athletic involvement were measured for college students. Differences were found on all six scales used, Time Ratio, Support Ratio, Self-Actualizaing Value, Existentiality, Self-Acceptance, and Self-Regard. In general, women were more self-actualizing than men. Male athletes were significantly more self-actualizing than non-athletic males while athletics did not significantly affect females' self-actualization. Male and female athletes had similar scores on most scales, yet for non-athletes sex differences were substantial. Practical implicatons for use in counseling and coaching, as well as for the athlete, are discussed. Measures differences in self-actualization between men and women and among team-sports athletes, recreational athletes, and non-athletes. University students (n=200) complete six scales of the Shostrom Personality Orientation Inventory. Finds that women are, in general, more self-actualizing than men. Male athletes are significantly more self-actualizing than male non-athletes, while athletic involvement does not significantly affect females' self-actualization. Sex differences in degree of self-actualization are found among non-athletes, but are not seen among athletes.
