Internal relation between Personality trait Statistical outcomes among Junior College Divers and their performance

Objective: Personality trait can predict divers' behavioral performance underwater. However, we know very little about the innate personality of the junior college diving students. To gain a better insight of personality characteristics of them, we carried out a personality survey base on Eysenck questionnaire. Method: 93 college diving students participated in this survey and totally 74 valid questionnaires recovered. Four dimensions were rating by the self-report scale of 85 questions. Descriptive analysis, T test and variance analyses are processing by SPSS20.0. Results: Statistical results indicated that college divers are more extraverted (t=10.838, p=0.000), more neurotic (t=2.747, p=0.008) and unlikely psychoticism (t=-1.332, p=0.187). Differences were found in Gender only in Liar scale score (F=7.025, p=0.010). Conclusion: These outcomes suggested that parts of the character of the college divers' are suitable for diving activities. And emotional control training is needed in the curriculum setting for them in the process of safe diving.
