Abstract:
This study investigates the personality traits of men’s state-level cricket players from Arunachal Pradesh using the Big Five Inventory (BFI), a psychological framework based on the Five- Factor Model. The research focuses on five core traits: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience. A total of 50 male players aged 18 to 25 participated. The objective was to assess the prevalence and distribution of these traits within the sample using a descriptive survey method. Statistical tools like mean, standard deviation, and percentile analysis were employed. Results revealed high levels of conscientiousness and agreeableness, moderate extraversion, low neuroticism, and strong openness to experience. These insights are essential for coaches, selectors, and sports psychologists to optimize team dynamics, leadership roles, and training methodologies.
