Abstract

This study aimed to reveal the relationship between the personality traits and burnout levels of athletes from different branches. The study was conducted with the relational research model among the quantitative research methods. The study group included 305 athletes consisting of 46 wrestlers, 91 boxers, 25 runners, 89 weightlifters, and 54 football players. The data were analyzed through SPSS 20 package software. The data analysis used descriptive statistical analysis and Pearson correlation analysis to determine the direction and severity of the relationship between the variables. As a result of the descriptive statistical analysis, it was determined that the boxers scored higher in the reduced sense of accomplishment, emotional and physical exhaustion, and depersonalization dimensions. It was concluded that athletes in the athletics branch had higher scores in the extrovert and neuroticism dimensions, and athletes in the weightlifting branch had higher scores in the psychoticism dimensions. According to the correlation analysis, it was found that there was no statistically significant relationship between the personality traits and burnout levels of athletes.
