Abstract
The purpose of the study was to measure and compare the personality
between amateur athletes and amateur esports players. A total of 200 subjects
were selected through purposive sampling consisting of 100 subjects from amateur
athletes and 100 subjects from amateur esports players. Big Five Inventory, a
44-item inventory created by John and Martinez in 1998 was used for collecting
data. Descriptive statistics and an independent t-test were applied to analyze
and compare the degree of difference in personality between amateur athletes
and amateur esports players and the level of significance was set at 0.05.
Results indicated that the calculated ‘t’ value for Extraversion 2.99>1.96,
Agreeableness -2.84>1.96, and Openness 5.01>1.96 showed a significant
difference between amateur athletes and amateur esports players at alpha 0.05.
While there were no significant differences in Conscientiousness -0.334<1.96
and Neuroticism -0.420<1.96 at alpha 0.05.
