註釋ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to use structural equation modeling to examine inter-relationships among aspects of personality, coping with time management stress, and life satisfaction with collegiate athletes. A sample of 256 athletes (M = 19.5 years) was administered standardized measurements of personality (NEO-FFI), life satisfaction (SWLS) and a modification of the COPE to assess coping responses. The results revealed that high levels of neuroticism were related to emotion-focused coping strategies and low levels of life satisfaction. Additionally, high levels of extraversion and conscientious were related to problem solving techniques, and high levels of life satisfaction. No coping mediation could be established for the Neuroticism or Extraversion models but full mediation was established for Conscientiousness. However, it is important to note that appropriate inferences and practical implications should not be made based on the results of this study because of large amounts of error and unexplained variation with the measures used. Therefore, further research is needed to make more concrete practical suggestions to athlete, coaches and college administrators regarding the mediating role of coping in the personality/life satisfaction relationship.
