Attitude and personality differences in physically active and inactive university teachers.

This study assessed peronality factors and attitudes toward physical activity in a sample of university teachers. One group (N = 20) of subjects regularly participated in various forms of physical activity; the second (N = 20) showed no such interest. The psychological measures used were the Cattell 16 PF Form A and the Kenyon questionnaire on attitudes toward physical activity. Attitudes about physical activity rather than personality traits were shown to be important within the subpopulation studied.
