Dispositional Neuroticism and Conscientiosness of the Basketball Referees in Finland and Sweden 2002 (Swedish)Student paper second termStudent thesis

Abstract [sv]

Successful officiating is more than knowing the rules and running fast. The purpose was to study a) if there exists any difference in personality characteristics between high- and low-level basketball referees, b) examine definitions about officiating basketball. 20 Finnish and 20 Swedish referees were divided into two groups: high- and level (M age = 30,9, sd = 9,2). A version of a personality questionnaire NEO-PI was used consisted of two dimensions Neuroticism and Conscientiousness. Open-ended questions were added for background information. It was found that there were differences between judging levels, as well as between the countries. The conclusion was that the high-level referees had some personality characteristics that were stronger than the average referees. A referee is a psychological-physical-social component person, which needs advice in every area for being the best possible referee.
