Year: 2013
Type: report
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect that personality type and attachment style\nhave on group cohesion within amateur sports teams. Pen and paper questionnaires consisting\nof four published questionnaires were administered to participants (N=68), both male (N=52)\nand female (N=16) using a convenience sampling. Results found that there was no\nstatistically significant relationship between attachment styles and the four subscales of group\ncohesiveness (ATGS, ATGT, GIS, GIT), some negative significant relationships between the\npersonality type Psychoticism and ATGS, ATGT and GIS, and a positive significant\nrelationship between the personality type Neuroticism and GIS. The study finds that\npersonality type appears to be a better predictor of group cohesiveness within amateur sports\nteams
