Background: although much is known about risk for athletic injury, research on the roles ofindividual differences in personality and temperament on athletic injury has lagged. wehypothesized that professional athletes with high sensation-seeking and extraversion scores, andwith low effortful control scores, would experience more injuries over the course of a season,would have more severe injuries, and would miss more total days of play.methods: prospective design with questionnaire report at time one and injury tracking throughoutan 18-week athletic season. setting: professional hockey team in the united states. participants:eighteen professional hockey players (ages 21-33).measurements: players completed self-report personality (sensation-seeking scale, form v) and temperament (the adult temperament questionnaire) measures. quantity and severity of injury, as well as playing time missed, were tracked for 18 weeks.results: on average, players experienced almost 6 injuries causing a loss of 10 playing daysthrough the season. those players scoring high on boredom susceptibility and total sensation-seeking incurred more total injuries. those scoring high on temperamental neutral perceptualsensitivity suffered more severe injuries.conclusions: athletes who suffered more injuries reported a preference for stimulatingenvironments and boredom with non-stimulating environments. injury severity was not correlatedwith sensation-seeking but was related to temperamental perceptual sensitivity. implications foridentification of injury-prone athletes, pre-injury training, and post-injury treatment are discussed.
