Abstract
Background and aim: Among the various characteristics, the one that can help a person to know himself and others better is personality. Many studies have shown that athletes are more prone to personality disorders compared to the general public. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the prevalence of personality disorders in female bodybuilders.
Methods: This research was a descriptive cross-sectional study. The subjects included 100 female bodybuilders in Qarchak city of Varamin in Tehran province in 2020 with 10 active clubs in this city who were selected through available sampling. Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI-III) questionnaire was used to collect research data.
Results: The age range of bodybuilders was 18-57 years with a mean of 32.37% and SD = 8.72. Most of the participants had a diploma. The results showed that there was a significant difference at the level of α = 0.01 between the theoretical means with the experimental means in the "hysterical" and "narcissistic" scales related to the patterns of clinical personality as well as in the "borderline" and "paranoid" scales which related to severe personality pathology. In these scales, unlike "borderline", the experimental means are higher than the theoretical average.
Conclusion: The findings showed that the prevalence of narcissistic, hysterical, and paranoid disorders in female bodybuilders was higher than expected while borderline personality disorder was lower than expected.
