摘要:AbstractThis study aims to analyze the impact of orienteering sport taught through creative drama methods on individuals’ emotional instability/neuroticism, extroversion, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness dimensions. With this aim in mind, Adjective Based Personality Test (ABPT) (Bacanlı, İlhan ve Aslan, 2009) consisting of emotional instability/neuroticism, extroversion, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness dimensions and based on Five-Factor Theory was implemented on physical education department students studying at Kırıkkale University during spring 2010-2011 academic year. The ABPT was implemented on university students before they started studying orienteering sport taught by creative drama methods. The test consisting of emotional instability/neuroticism, extroversion, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness dimensions includes 40 items. The ABPT was implemented on the students again after they had completed the 10-week orienteering sport programme taught by creative drama methods. The findings of this study revealed that there was a meaningful difference between the emotional instability/neuroticism, extroversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, conscientiousness dimensions pretest and posttest scores of the study group in favour of conscientiousness dimension.
