Research On The Relationship Between E-Sports Performance And Personality Characteristics

Traditional sports require athletes to have a good habitus and physical quality,while e-sports,as a new sport,pay more attention to the psychological characteristics and psychological quality of athletes.Exploring how to promote the development of e-sports and improve the overall level of e-sports has become the main task of the development of e-sports in China.It has become a tidal current to conduct in-depth discussion and research on the characteristics of college students' participation in e-sports.The main significance of this study is as follows: to provide methods and suggestions for guiding college students to participate in e-sports.The differences in personality characteristics between high and low level players were discussed,and the EEG technology was used to supplement the differences,hoping to pave the way for future studies.Since the personality questionnaire is subjective,the EEG power spectrum characteristics are used as a more objective indicator for the selection of e-sports athletes.E-sports advocates and publicizes the e-sports culture spirit of hard work,health and intelligence,and harmonious cooperation,which makes people separate from the competition of physical quality and turn to the competition of more mental skills.According to the characteristics of different sports,the physical and psychological requirements of the athletes vary greatly.E-sports requires relatively lower requirements on athletes in terms of physical and psychological quality,and relatively easier to master the basic skills.However,it requires higher requirements on psychological characteristics and psychological quality.Up to now,many researches on sports psychology in China have shown that the distribution trend of personality traits of athletes of different sports subjects is not consistent.Some research have found that e-sports athletes have some special advantages compared with other athletes.But the research on e-sports athletes is still in the physiological stage,personality characteristics of high and low level athletes.300 league of legends players were recruited,and the interpersonal sensitivity scale and affective neuroscience personality scale were used to evaluate high and low level players.Statistical results indicated:(1)interpersonal sensitivity scale showed that low-level players scored higher than high-level players in the four sub-dimensions: interpersonal awareness,identity need,timidity and vulnerability.(2)the total score of interpersonal sensitivity scale showed that the score of high-level players was significantly lower than that of low-level players.(3)In the entertainment sub-dimension of the affective neuroscience personality inventory,the scores of high-level players were significantly higher than those of low-level players.On the other hand,an analysis of the correlation between EEG and e-sports performance found that Alpha waves were significantly stronger in high level players than in low level players.Power-alpha2 was negatively correlated with the sub-dimension of timidity in interpersonal sensitivity scale.Power-alpha2 was negatively correlated with the total score of interpersonal sensitivity scale.
