Abstract
Personality and motivation are two topics that have each received a considerable amount of interest in the field of sport psychology. However, the nature of the relationship between the Big Five model of personality and self-determined motivation in athletics remains unclear. To address this issue, a sample of college athletes completed assessments of the Big Five model and self-determined motivation to participate in their sports. Results revealed that agreeableness, extraversion, and neuroticism were the strongest predictors of different levels of self-determined motivation. Practical implications and future directions in related research are also discussed.
