Resumo:This study uses factorial analysis to investigate the sociability of sportsmen in different fields and to check whether a person’s general level of sociability corresponds to the social profile of his (or her) sport. Are team players more sociable than solitary sportsmen ? Each individual’s level of sociability is assessed by analysing how often he goes out and/or attends social gatherings, using factorial analysis. A graph of these two prime behavioural elements provides a pictorial representation of any given sportsman’s statusIt seems that the presence or absence of a partner or adversary correlates poorly with a sportsman’s level of sociability. Surprisingly, the milieu in which the sport is practised does appear to be a discriminatory factor. It emerges that out-door sportsmen are more sociable than those who practise their sport indoors.
