ABSTRACT:
Psychological responsiveness was assessed in 34 (26 male and 8 female) members of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA), Southern Section, to quantify and compare psychological characteristics of the collegiate rodeo contestant with previous research on elite athletes, collegiate athletes in other sports, and established college norms. Testing inventories included the Profile of Mood States (POMS) and the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI). Intercolleigate rodeo contestants scored significantly higher in vigor and extraversion, and significantly lower in depression, fatigue, confusion, total mood disturbance, and conformity than collegiate norms. Female rodeo performers scored significantly higher in neuroticism than male counterparts in other events. These results significantly reflect the psychological profile of performers only recently thought of as an athletic population.
