Resumen

La relación entre personalidad y calidad de relaciones en atletas, especialmente entre compañeros de equipo no ha sido explorada en profundidad. El presente estudio pretende examinar si las características de personalidad medidas a través del modelo de los Cinco Grandes están asociadas a la calidad percibida de relaciones entre compañeros de equipo, medida a través de las facetas de apoyo social, conflicto y profundidad de relaciones. 43 atletas universitarios estadounidenses participaron en el estudio rellenando el Inventario de Personalidad y el Inventario de Calidad de Relaciones. Los análisis de regresiones revelaron que el factor de Amabilidad estaba asociado al apoyo social, mientras el Neuroticismo estaba asociado a la profundidad de la relación. Dichos hallazgos sugieren que estos dos factores tienen una contribución independiente a la calidad de la relación entre compañeros, una relación que ha sido sistemáticamente ignorada a pesar de ser un elemento vital del funcionamiento de un equipo.
