PEREIRA, Rafael; NUNES, Carlos Henrique Sancineto da Silva  e  PIRES, Jeferson Gervasio. Personality and Coping in League of Legends Pro Players. Aval. psicol. [online]. 2022, vol.21, n.1, pp. 25-33. ISSN 1677-0471.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15689/ap.2022.2101.16268.03.

Personality has been identified as a predictor of Coping strategies in the context of traditional sport. In this study, we investigated the association between measurements of Big Five Factor and coping strategies in professional League of Legends (LOL) players. 138 people participated, aged between 16 and 37 years (M = 21.24, SD = 3.77), who answered the Big Five Inventory and Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28. Correlations were made between the scores of these instruments, and regression of coping skills in personality factors. Neuroticism and Conscientiousness are associated with the use of Coping skills, which suggests that personality is a relevant variable in understanding the use of adaptative strategies to deal with adversity while playing LOL, however, other studies should be carried out in the future.
