Locus of control in situations of successes and failures and personality traits in young athletes practicing team sports

Abstract

background The aim of this study was to analyze locus of control in situations of successes and failures and personality traits in young people attending sport and non-sport classes. Based on a review of studies, it was presumed that young people who practice team sports have a higher internal locus of control, higher openness to experience, higher conscientiousness, and higher emotional stability than their peers who do not practice sport.
