INTRODUCTION:

The wonderful existence of this universe is nature, which is made by both Biotic and Abiotic

elements. The main difference between these is that a life can move. Though the Abiotics can’t

move but these can control the universe. The living organisms express its power of mobility in

bother for it. The king species of an animal kingdom- human being is also under this

variation.

‘Nothing is alike in this world’. Every person differs as regards to his behavior and

activities this type of differentiation is called scientifically in a word derived from Psychology as

personality differences. The interesting references of personality differences are followed.

Human personality refers to the uniqueness of expression, characteristics of individual and

it must be studied with in the social context in which it develops. It is not an isolated

phenomenon separate from the environment, although it is often perceived in such a way.

Rather, personality is expressed through the complex and inters dependent relationship

form between the individuals and his environment.

a person performs well in a socially sanctioned activity such as sport he will usually receive

reinforcement in the form of support from parents and others. The carriers of most athletes

reveal that they were strongly re- inforce early in life and encouraged devoting their

energies to sports.

METHODOLOGY:

The subjects for this study were male different colleges of West-Delhi. Subjects were

randomly selected and thus 600 male subjects were selected. The health records

maintained by the College administration were checked by the investigators to ensure that

the subjects selected were physically and mentally sound and ready to give their blood for

sampling. Thus they were taken to the laboratory for blood tests which was done by a

physical education teacher and the investigator was called in to make them aware of the

purpose, nature and advantages of the study. Everything was explained to them in detail to

they will get a mailed letter for further proceeding with date and venue. Though no special

techniques of motivation were used to motivate the subjects to put in their best efforts yet

the subjects were very enthusiastic and cooperative throughout the study.

On the basis of the availability of time, cause, equipment reliability and educational values of

scientific research in the field of physical education the following psychological variables were

selected i.e. Neuroticism and Extraversion.

The reliability of data by test- retests method by conducting the Esyneck Maudsley

Personality Inventory Questionnaire on subjects on the weekends in order to check the

reliability of the responses of the subjects. Coefficient of correlation of .92 was established

which was found to be significant at .05 level of significance with 79 degrees of freedom.

The subjects selected for the study were mailed a request letter requesting to represent at the

Personality Inventory Questionnaire. They were also ensured that this research result have

nothing to do with their grading in examinations the results of each candidate shall be kept

confidential and the detailed conclusions of this research project shall be mailed to them

after the completion of the study.

The Esyneck Maudsley Personality Inventory Questionnaire was then distributed to each

subject and was also supplied a pencil and a rubber. The instructions to fillup the

questionnaire were read at a dictation speed and the doubts raised by the subjects were

made clear by the investigator. It was made very clear to the subjects that the answers must

same test on next Sunday for establishing the reliability of data. The scoring of

questionnaire was done as per the procedure laid down by S.S. Jalota and S.D. Kapoor. In

order to test the hypothesis F- ratio was used to find out differences between different

blood groups. The level of significance was set at .05 level which was considered to be

appropriate for this type of study.

The analysis of data pertaining to Neuroticism on short scale of different blood groups is

The analysis of data presented in Table 1 clearly reveals that the calculated F-Ratio i.e.

analysis clearly reveals that there are no significant differences on Extraversion trait among

subjects of different blood groups.

GROUPS

extraversion on long and short scale and neuroticism on long scale among various blood

groups. This might be attributed to the fact that the subjects selected for this study were

small in numbers and psychological variables were measured by a questionnaire and not

by using any standardized psycho-physiological test. However significant variations were

found on neuroticism on short scale among different blood groups.

Personality has a very wide range and is complicated to understand and so its traits. One

cannot give a standard definition of personality. Personality itself is a confusing state.

Personality is dynamic whereas blood group is static. Personality changes according to the

situation whether it is environmental, health matter, tensions, worries and so on whereas

blood group does not change according to such situation. The rate of blood do change but

groups remains the same whatever conditions it may be. This study is based on two traits

i.e. neuroticism and extraversion, which were compared among four types of blood groups

i.e. A, B, AB and O.

Neuroticism means an emotionally unstable individual. A student of college level who is

always thinking about his career, family, examinations, results, friends and so on them it i.e.

quite obvious that he is not emotionally stable which may lead him to negative thinking and

force him to take wrong decision which can obstruct him to lead a healthful and tension

free life. Even during college age growth a person is surrounded with many conflicts and

an individual so there is no significant relation between the personality trait and blood

group.

control all his worries and tensions and take correct decision, which can help him to lead a

healthy and better life.

individual blood group as blood group has significance with the Genes one inherits and that

can change ones personality.

Another trait of personality in the study is extraversion. Extraversion means expressive.

Expressive are quick to speak and slow to listen. Those who are more expressive appears

They are observed to be talkative and sociable. They tend not to listen very well and are

so eager to tell others of what they have on their minds. So this trait of personality is so

extrovert that they hardly tend to control their emotions.

CONCLUSIONS:

Within the limitation of the present study the following conclusions may be drawn:
