Genetic associations with personality and mental toughness profiles of English academy football players: An exploratory study

Alexander B. T. McAuley et al.

Summary: Psychological characteristics play a significant role in the performance and future success of youth football players. While genetic factors may explain individual differences in psychological traits, there is limited research on psychogenetics in football. This study explored the association between ten single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and personality and mental toughness profiles in academy football players. The results suggest that psychological characteristics of youth football players are partially determined by genetic factors.

Dimensionality of the Mental Toughness Questionnaire (MTQ48)

John L. Perry et al.

Summary: The debate over whether mental toughness is a unidimensional or multidimensional construct is ongoing. The study found support for the bifactor conceptualization of mental toughness, suggesting it should be considered as a general trait comprising related constructs that provide psychological advantage in performance and promote positive mental health. Suggestions were made for future research directions to address limitations in the existing measurement of mental toughness.
