Do conscientious athletes value world peace? Personality traits and value preferences of young athletes and non‐athletes

View through CrossRef
The preferred values and personality traits of young athletes allow to predict their decisions in the sports context. Of 120 primary and junior high school students that were surveyed, including 60 students following an extended sports curriculum and 60 students following a standard curriculum. The athletes practiced soccer, basketball and swimming. The Picture‐Based Value Survey for Children based on Schwartz's theory of universal values and the Picture‐Based Personality Survey for Children predicated on the Big Five model of personality were used in this study. Regression analysis with an interaction effect of type of school program on relationships between values and personality traits was carried out. Effects were observed between the type of program and preference for Universalism and Conscientiousness and preference for Hedonism and Agreeableness. In athletes, Conscientiousness correlated positively with preference for Universalism. In non‐athletes, a positive correlation was found between Agreeableness and preference for Hedonism.
