ABSTRACT

This study examined the effect of sport participation on personality as well as positive and negative affect. A sample of 100 participants (50 sports students and 50 non-sports students) age ranged 13-19 years, was taken from the schools. NEO-BFI and PANAS scales were used to examine the participants. Findings of the present study revealed significant difference between sports students and non-sports students on the dimensions of personality as well as positive and negative affect. The findings suggest that sport participation increased positive affect, enhanced emotional stability, reduced neuroticism and facilitated extraversion tendency.
