Abstract

The purpose of this study; It is an examination of the relationship between the personality traits and imagination skills of horse archery athletes. The participant group of the study consisted of 109 athletes who were licensed and actively engaged in horse archery in Turkey in 2024, when the research was conducted. A survey was used as a data collection tool in the study. The questionnaire used consists of three parts: "Five Factor Personality Scale", "Sport Imagery Inventory" and "Personal Information Form" created by the researcher. The data obtained was analyzed with the SPSS package program. In addition to descriptive statistics; t test, one-way analysis of variance and Pearson Moment Correlation test were applied. A relationship was determined between the total personality score of the athletes and cognitive imagery, extraversion, agreeableness, self-control, neuroticism and openness to experience. At the same time, it was determined that the athletes' gender, age, income level and education level did not affect the athletes' imagination levels. It has also been determined that age, income level and sports year affect the personality characteristics of athletes. For athletes involved in archery, imagery in sports is an important factor affecting sports performance. Applied mental training programs can be developed to improve athletes' imagination strategies and strengthen their personality traits.
