Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between stress, performance, and personality variables (conscientiousness and neuroticism) in professional athletes. Data from a first division professional soccer team in Brazil were used for the purposes of this study. Game performance was measured by Instat Index (Instat). Stress was measured by the Perceived Stress Scale, a scale given to players after every game in the league. Personality factors were measured by the NEO-Five Factor Inventory-Revised. A positive relationship between stress and performance was observed. Neither conscientiousness nor neuroticism mediated that relationship. Post-hoc exploratory analyses revealed significant relationships between other personality factors (extraversion, openness to experience, and neuroticism) and stress scores.
