Abstract

In research about personality in the sport context, there is a lack of definitive conclusion, which derive mainly from methodological, statistical and interpretive problems,, recommending an approximation from different models and methodologies (Cox, 2002; Vealey, 2002). In this sense, the Millon model of personality (2001) can be a complement to traditional theories in the study of personality with athletes. The objectives of this research work are double: a) to replicate Garcia- Naveira’s studies (2004, 2007b) with competition football players from the Millon model of personality, and b) to study possible personality differences based on the demarcation that the players hold within the team. The sample consisted of 209 competition football players of the Community of Madrid, aged between 18 and 25 years old (M = 22.30, DT = 2.12). The players are divided into forwards (n = 49), midfields (n = 94) and defenses (n = 66). The instrument selected for the assessment of the personality of the athletes was Millon Index of Personality Styles (2001). The results indicate that the competition football players are characterized by a particular personality style and it depends on the demarcation they hold.
