Incidence of personality and resilience in the onset of burnout in a sample of Spanish athletes
Abstract
The aim of this research was to know the level of burnout in athletes and the relation between this syndrome and personality from Costa and McCrae’s five factors model, adding also the resilience. The sample consisted of 141 athletes (M = 21.20; SD = 3.64). IBD-R, NEO-FFI, Resilience Scale, and IPAQ were used to record and measure the variables previously mentioned. Results indicated that the participants had moderated levels in all dimensions of burnout. Also, being a man was associated to higher burnout levels, as well as being federated, participating in an individual sport and spending a higher quantity of hours training. Age didn’t turn out to be an influential variable in the suffering of this syndrome. Moreover, results indicated a vulnerable personality pattern from Five Factors Model, consisting on high levels of neuroticism and low levels of responsibility, kindness, openness and extraversion. Lastly, resilience was also a protective variable for burnout.
