The main goal of the research was to identify significant relations between dimensions of personality and life satisfaction. The representative sample of 137 examinees (65 female and 72 male juniors (seniors)) aged 11-17 was tested by International Personality Item Questionnaire (IPIP50) and Life Satisfaction Scale. Results of the coefficient of reliability (Croncbah α) point at satisfactory psychometric characteristics of applied tests. The results of t-test showed statistically significant gender differences in result distribution among the examinees at five variables of personality dimensions: extroversion, amiability, conscientiousness, neurotic behavior and intellect. Significant linear correlations of low intensity (positive direction) were defined between the variables of personal characteristics (extroversion, amiability, conscientiousness, and intellect) and the association of neurotic behavior variable (negative direction) and life satisfaction variable .The results of multiple regression analysis defined: I) statistically significant linear correlation of low intensity between the variables of personality dimensions and life satisfaction, II) predictory variable (dimensions of personality) explain 36% of the proportion of mutual variance of criterion variable (life satisfaction) and III) beta-coefficients of independent variable of extroversion (ß=.24; p<.01) and conscientiousness (ß=.19; p<.01), have positive significant influence on total variability of criterion, whereas beta-coefficient of neurotic behavior has significantly negative role in life satisfaction variable prediction (ß=-.35; p<.01).
Key words:
five-factor model of personality, questionnaires, karate player, predictor, life satisfaction.
DIMENZIJE LIČNOSTI KARATISTA KAO PREDIKTORI ZADOVOLJSTVA ŽIVOTOM
Cilj ovoga istraživanja usmeren je na identifikovanje relacija između dimenzija ličnosti i indikatora zadovoljstva životom. Odgovarajući uzorak ispitanika od 126 karatista (mlađi seniori), uzrasta od 18 do 20 godina, testiran je Upitnikom za samoprocenu ličnosti (McCrae i Costa, 1991) i Skalom zadovoljstva životom (Pavot i Diener, 1993). Rezultati Krombah–alfa koeficijenata ukazuju na zadovoljavajuću pouzdanost primenjenih instrumenata. Utvrđene su značajne interkorelacije niskog intenziteta (pozitivnog smera) između varijabli crta ličnosti (ekstraverzija, prijatnost, savesnost i intelekt) i asocijacija varijable neuroticizam (negativnog smera), sa varijablom zadovoljstvo životom. Nalazi višestruke regresione analize ustanovili su: I) statistički značajnu pozitivnu linearnu korelaciju, visokog intenziteta, između varijabli dimenzija ličnosti i zadovoljstva životom (R=,66; p<,01) , II) prediktorske varijable (dimenzije ličnosti) objašnjavaju 36% proporcije zajedničke varijanse kriterijumske varijable (zadovoljstva životom) i III) značajan pozitivni doprinos u tumačenju ukupnog varijabilitеta kriterijuma imaju nezavisne varijable ekstraverzija (ß=,37; p<,01) i savesnost (ß=,19; p<,01), dok negativan statistički značajan udeo u predviđanju zavisne varijable zadovoljstvo životom ima dimenzija ličnosti neuroticizam (ß=-,35; p<,01). Dobijeni rezultati upućuju na to da se na osnovu testiranog modela dimenzija ličnosti karatista može uspešno izvršiti predikcija zadovoljstva životom. Praktične implikacije dobijenih rezultata sastoje se u dijagnostifikovanju, planiranju, programiranju i kontroli navedenih psiholoških komponenti tokom trenažnih procesa.
