Sažetak
The research investigated personality of high risk sports athletes. Our aim was to investigate personality dimensions and compare the results with non risk sports athletes and non athletes. 38 high risk sports athletes participated in the research (alpinists, sky divers, parachute gliders, white water kayakers, downhill mountain bikers, motocross riders, downhill skiers and Nordic jumpers, the non risk sports athletes consisted of 38 swimmers, track athletes, sailers, still water kayakers, rowers, Nordic skiers, sports climbers and karate players, whereas non athletes were equalled with both groups in age and education and included 76 non athletes. We used the Big Five Observer scale. We found, that high risk sports athletes scored highest in emotional stability, they were followed by non athletes and the lowest scores were achieved by non risk sports athletes. The same order of groups was shown in conscientiousness and energy. Openness was highest in non risk sports athletes, followed by non athletes and the lowest score was achieved by high risk sports athletes. The differences in acceptability were not significant.
