The aim of this study is to deepen our understanding of endurance (marathon) runners and their underlying personality traits. In essence the study aims to explore why psychopathy may be a predictor for how many marathons a person runs with psychopathy being defined by Levenson’s self report psychopathy scale?
Objectives of study
The central question that this project asks, is: Is psychopathy a predictor for marathon running? In particular, this study will address the following hypotheses:
H0: Gender and age of marathon runners does not impact psychopathic traits.
H1: Repeat marathon runners display a higher level of psychopathic traits than single marathon runners.
H2: Secondary psychopathy traits will be more prevalent than primary psychopathic traits in multiple marathon runners.
H3: Time passed since last marathon impacts the level of psychopathic traits.
