Abstract
The present study aims to find out the effect of neuroticism on the frustration tolerance capacity of national-level competitive male road cyclists. To conduct the study, 25 male players from a national-level 20 km road cycling event were selected. The age range was 18 to 30 years. Purposive sampling was used for the selection of subjects. Reactions to Frustration Scale prepared by Dixit and Shrivastav (2011) was used to assess frustration tolerance capacity in male players of national level 20km road cycling event while the neuroticism dimension of personality was assessed through the Hindi version of the PEN inventory prepared by Menon (1978). A significant positive correlation was observed between neuroticism and frustration tolerance capacity of national male 20 km. road cyclist. Since a lower score on the frustration tolerance scale indicates better tolerance to frustrating situations, the results show that an increase in neurotic tendencies also leads to inferior frustration tolerance capacity of male competitive road cyclists. It was concluded that neuroticism also considered as emotional stability significantly affects frustration tolerance capacity with more emotional stability enhancing the frustration tolerance capacity of national male players of a 20 km road cycling competition.
