DIMENSIONS OF KARATE MAN PERSONALITY AS PREDICTORS OF LIFE SATISFACTION

Summary/Abstract: The main goal of the research was to identify significant relations between dimensions of personality and life satisfaction. The representative sample of 137 examinees (65 female and 72 male juniors (seniors)) aged 11-17 was tested by International Personality Item Questionnaire (IPIP50) and Life Satisfaction Scale. Results of the coefficient of reliability (Croncbah α) point at satisfactory psychometric characteristics of applied tests. The results of t-test showed statistically significant gender differences in result distribution among the examinees at five variables of personality dimensions: extroversion, amiability, conscientiousness, neurotic behavior and intellect. Significant linear correlations of low intensity (positive direction) were defined between the variables of personal characteristics (extroversion, amiability, conscientiousness, and intellect) and the association of neurotic behavior variable (negative direction) and life satisfaction variable .The results of multiple regression analysis defined: I) statistically significant linear correlation of low intensity between the variables of personality dimensions and life satisfaction, II) predictory variable (dimensions of personality) explain 36% of the proportion of mutual variance of criterion variable (life satisfaction) and III) beta-coefficients of independent variable of extroversion (ß=.24; p<.01) and conscientiousness (ß=.19; p<.01), have positive significant influence on total variability of criterion, whereas beta-coefficient of neurotic behavior has significantly negative role in life satisfaction variable prediction (ß=-.35; p<.01).
