Abstract
This study explored that Personality related elements for general self-effacing: contrasting varsity Basketball players and non-players university students. We used a cross-sectional survey method, gathering responses from 209 under graduation students, 103 athletes of basketball and 106 were non-athletes from seven different universities. For data collection, we used the Big 5 Inventory-10 (BFI-10), the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE). Both tools showed good reliability. The results showed that, for athletes, Agreeableness was significantly and positively predicted self-efficacy. For non-athletes, traits of conscientiousness were linked positively to self-efficacy, while extraversion was linked negatively. Other personality traits were not seemed to have much effect in either group. However, GE, extraversion, conscientiousness and openness showed significantly higher mean score than non-athletes, neuroticism significantly higher scored in non-athletes compared to athletes. Overall, these findings suggested that personality traits influenced how self-efficacy feel in different ways depending on whether they participate in sports. Agreeableness was seemed more improving and protective trait for self-efficacy in student-athletes, while conscientiousness matters more for non-athletes. This research offers new insights into the psychological profiles of Pakistani university students, whether they play sports or not. Future studies should consider tracking changes over time and exploring different sports environments to better understand how personality traits linked to self-efficacy over the long run.
