Area of Science:

  • Sports Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Self-control is vital for competitive performance and overall well-being.
  • Existing literature suggests a link between personality traits and self-control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and self-control in boxers.
  • To investigate the mediating role of self-efficacy in this relationship.

Main Methods:

  • Study involved 210 Chinese national athletes (boxers).
  • Data collected on Big Five personality traits, self-control, and self-efficacy.
  • Statistical analyses were performed to determine correlations and mediation effects.

Main Results:

  • Boxers exhibited high levels of self-control, increasing with competitive level.
  • Significant correlations were found between the Big Five personality traits, self-control, and self-efficacy.
  • Self-efficacy was identified as a mediator between personality traits and self-control.

Conclusions:

  • Self-efficacy plays a key role in how personality traits influence self-control among boxers.
  • Findings underscore the interconnectedness of personality, self-efficacy, and self-control in athletic performance.
