This original empirical study examined the relationship between personality characteristics and the level of physical aggression. Participants from introductory level college courses completed a survey with a modified physical aggression scale and extraversion and introversion measurement scales. However, in this particular study we discovered that our predictions were reversed. There was no statistical significance, p=0.213. The extroverted individuals had lower physical aggression scores, opposite of the hypothesis. Overall, this study has opened another door in the realm of sport psychology: can you predict an athlete's performance based off of their personality?
