Abstract

Understanding the association between personality traits and cortisol expression may assist in monitoring and managing mental health in athletes. This study used a singlegroup case study design to quantify the psychophysiological profiles of 26 male athletes from one professional Australian Rules football team (mean age 22.5 ± 4.3 years). Athletes completed salivary cortisol and personality measures. Results showed group mean baseline salivary cortisol levels of 5.7 nmol/L (SD = 3.56) ranging from 1.82 to 9.90 nmol/L. The BFI-10 data showed a mean of 3.92 (SD = 1.1) for the personality variable openness, conscientiousness scoring a mean of 4.73(SD = 1.8), extraversion with a mean of 4.69 with (SD = 1.7), a mean of 4.18(SD = 1.9) for agreeableness, and a mean of 4.42 (SD = 0.9) for neuroticism. However, Pearson's correlation coefficient showed no significant relationship between baseline cortisol and personality variables.

探索职业运动员皮质醇水平与人格特质之间的联系

了解人格特质和皮质醇表达之间的关系可能有助于监测和管理运动员的心理健康。本研究采用单组案例研究设计，对来自澳大利亚职业足球队的26名男性运动员(平均年龄22.5±4.3岁)的心理生理特征进行量化。运动员完成了唾液皮质醇和性格测试。结果显示，各组平均基线唾液皮质醇水平为5.7 nmol/L (SD = 3.56)，范围为1.82 ~ 9.90 nmol/L。BFI-10数据显示，性格变量开放性的平均得分为3.92分(SD = 1.1)，尽责性的平均得分为4.73分(SD = 1.8)，外向性的平均得分为4.69分(SD = 1.7)，宜人性的平均得分为4.18分(SD = 1.9)，神经质的平均得分为4.42分(SD = 0.9)。然而，Pearson相关系数显示基线皮质醇与人格变量之间无显著关系。
