“…According to some findings, athletes who play team sports are more extroverted and experience less anxiety, which may be related to the need and desire to cooperate and be surrounded by people, as well as to the fact that in team sports there is a diffusion of responsibility (Raharjo et al 2018). Sports psychology literature often mentions factors of sports success, which can be highlighted in four periods:…”

The primary aim of the paper is to conduct research on the personality traits and pre-competition anxiety of Esports and sports players, in addition to confirming differences in personality and pre-competition anxiety between the two examined groups. The research has been conducted on 67 (N=67) subjects, 30 of whom are semi-professional or professional gamers who participate in state-level and regional-level competitions. The remaining 37 subjects are the highest-ranked athletes in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The t-test, a type of inferential statistic, has been used to determine statistical differences in disposition between the arithmetic means of the two groups, using BFI-44 (α=0.78) and CSAI-2 (α=0.60) measuring instruments. It has been anticipated that the Esports players are ranked lower at Extraversion (E) and Agreeableness (A) levels, while their Neuroticism (N) level is higher compared to the results of the athletes. The research indicates that all of the three hypotheses regarding the Big Five Model have been confirmed – on the scale of Extraversion (E) with significance levels of p=0.000 (p<0.0001); on the scale of Agreeableness (A) with significance levels of p=0.002 (p<0.01); on the scale of Neuroticism (N) with significance levels of p=0.042 (p<0.05). Furthermore, the fourth and fifth research hypotheses, proposing there is a statistically significant difference in cognitive and somatic anxiety (CSAI-2) in Esports players and athletes, were not confirmed. The sixth research hypothesis was confirmed, showing that there is a statistically significant difference between Esports players and athletes on the self-confidence dimension (CSAI-2) with p=0.030 (p<0.05). Results gathered on this sample could serve as an important part of understanding the differences between Esports players and athletes.

“…Recently two studies have compared individual and team sports (Reche et al, 2019;Reche-García et al, 2020) but not lifesaving and futsal, which are addressed in this study. It is clear from the scientific literature that individual sports athletes have different characteristics from team sports athletes, in relation to personality (Nia and Besharat, 2010;Raharjo et al, 2018), in terms of the use of mental skills (Kajbafnezhad et al, 2011) in mental toughness (Kumar, 2017) in relation to manifesting anxiety and depression are athletes in individual sports are more likely to present them than those in team sports (Pluhar et al, 2019), in addition in team sports passion profiles are higher than those of individual sports (Kovacsik et al, 2020).…”

This research aims to analyse the differences in optimism, resilience, engagement and competitive anxiety as a function of the sport modality practiced in lifeguarding (individual sport) and futsal (team sport); the sport category by age (cadet or youth) and gender. The LOT-R optimism questionnaire, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) and the Competitive Anxiety Scale (SAS-2) were applied to a sample of 189 participants (139 men and 50 womwn) aged between 14 and 17 years. The following statistical tests are performed: Cronbach's alpha, Pearson's linear correlation, Student's t-test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Levene's test and multivariate linear regression. The data indicate that there are significant gender differences in total anxiety (p <0.001) and all its dimensions (somatic, worry, worry-free), also in optimism and pessimism (p < 0.001), as well as in total engagement (p = 0.051) and the absorption dimension (p < 0.001). When comparing the sample by sport categories, there are statistically significant differences in somatic anxiety (p = 0.036) and deconcentration (p = 0.034), as well as in LOT-total (p ≤ 0.001) and pessimism (p ≤ 0.001). In relation to the sport modalities, lifeguards show more anxiety 38.39 (0.49) and more commitment 4.58 (0.87) while futsal athletes reach higher scores in deconcentration 8.45 (2.29). It is concluded that the variables of commitment and resilience had a statistically significant positive effect, and the category of <16 years had a statistically significant negative effect, so the lower the category, the higher the optimism.

“…Numerous studies evidence the beneficial impact of exercise (different types over different periods) on self-esteem [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. In a synthesis effort, the main characteristic that refers to individual sports is that the athletes can target personal performance goals without responsibility to the team [ 16 , 17 ]. The athlete can progress at his own pace; he needs independence, self-discipline, perseverance, and self-control.…”

On the basis of the integrative concept of self-esteem discussed in sport-related literature, various studies refer to its importance in the context of sports activities. Self-esteem is often understood as a personality trait because it tends to be durable and stable. No accurate description is available regarding the types of sports in which subjects participated. The main purpose of the research was to identify and compare the levels of self-esteem and self-confidence of athletes practicing individual and team sports. The self-esteem and self-confidence levels were measured by the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg 1979) and the Self-Confidence Test (Romek, 2000). All participants were males. Subjects were divided into two categories: 40 for individual sports and 40 for team sports. There were two evaluation periods: P1, the beginning of the preparation period, and P2, the beginning of the competition period. There were statistically significant differences for P1 (p < 0.002) and P2 (p < 0.003). The differences between the average values of the two periods were 5.8 points and 3.8 points, both favorable to the group of athletes who practiced individual sports. There were significant differences between the individual and team athletes in self-esteem level. Individual athletes presented a higher level of self-esteem.
