Abstract

Objective: Increasing engagement and injury in extreme sports, characterized by heightened risks of injury, are positively associated with personality traits such as sensation seeking and impulsivity. However, the degree to which different self-report and behavioral measures of personality are related to extreme sports is unclear.

Participants: Data was collected from 1,019 undergraduate students.

Methods: Participants completed self-report surveys assessing sensation seeking (SSPTS), impulsivity (BIS-11), Big Five personality traits (TIPI), and behavioral impulsivity tasks.

Results: Sensation seeking, particularly the risk seeking subscale, was most strongly associated with extreme sports participation (r = .24, p < .01) and injury (r = .21, p < .01) across various sports. Big Five traits were also better predictors of study outcomes than measures of impulsivity.

Conclusions: This work contributes to the ability to tailor prevention and intervention efforts to individuals involved in a range of extreme sports, ultimately mitigating health risks through personality assessment.

在美国大学样本中,人格特质、行为冲动、极限运动参与与受伤之间的相互关系。
目的:极限运动中不断增加的参与和伤害,其特点是受伤风险增加,与寻求感觉和冲动等人格特征呈正相关。然而,不同的自我报告和人格行为测量与极限运动的关系程度尚不清楚。参与者:数据来自1019名本科生。方法:参与者完成自我报告调查,评估感觉寻求(SSPTS)、冲动性(BIS-11)、大五人格特质(TIPI)和行为冲动性任务。结果:感觉寻求,尤其是风险寻求分量表,与极限运动参与密切相关(r =。24, p r =。结论:这项工作有助于为参与一系列极限运动的个人量身定制预防和干预措施,最终通过个性评估减轻健康风险。
