| dc.description.abstract | The aim of this study was to investigate the effect that personality type and attachment style
have on group cohesion within amateur sports teams. Pen and paper questionnaires consisting
of four published questionnaires were administered to participants (N=68), both male (N=52)
and female (N=16) using a convenience sampling. Results found that there was no
statistically significant relationship between attachment styles and the four subscales of group
cohesiveness (ATGS, ATGT, GIS, GIT), some negative significant relationships between the
personality type Psychoticism and ATGS, ATGT and GIS, and a positive significant
relationship between the personality type Neuroticism and GIS. The study finds that
personality type appears to be a better predictor of group cohesiveness within amateur sports
