GOMA-I-FREIXANET, M; PLA-CORTES, J y AVILES-ANTON, O. Differential personality profile of elite Spanish basketball referees. CPD [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.1, pp.1-9. Epub 29-Jun-2020. ISSN 1989-5879.
The aim of the present study was to find out if there is a differential personality profile at the Spanish basketball referees according to their performance level. We administered the NEO Revised Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R; Costa & McCrae, 1999) to 418 male referees by assigning them to two categories: the Successful Group (belonging to the ACB and LEB league competitions) and the Unsuccessful Group (belonging to the competitions of the regional Catalan Basketball Federation). After five seasons, we contacted again the referees of the unsuccessful group to make sure that they did not promote in their sports career and to ensure that the categories were not permeable. The comparison of both groups indicates that the referees who reach the elite display greater competence and assertiveness, are self-assured, efficient and organized, as well as dominant and with leadership skills. We suggest that those leading and organizing the training of sports referees should include in their programs activities promoting the skills -leadership and communication- of those who have already reached the elite.
