The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between personality traits and prosocial and antisocial behaviors displayed in team athletes. In this respect, the data was collected from a total of 481 (64 females and 417 males) participants engaged in team sports. The relational screening model was used in the study. The Prosocial and Antisocial Behavior in Sports Scale, Five Factor Personality Inventory and Personal Information Form prepared by the researcher were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics, and Pearson Correlation Coefficient were used in the analysis. As a result of the analysis it was determined that there was a positive and a significant relationship between prosocial behavior-team (PT), prosocial behavior-opponent (PO) and extroversion, responsibility and openness sub-dimensions. However, significant negative difference was determined between prosocial behavior-team, prosocial behavior-opponent (PO) and neuroticism. Accordingly, as prosocial behaviors of team athletes increase, the neuroticism level of the athletes decreases. A negative significant relationship was determined between the scores obtained from the antisocial behavior-team (AT) and antisocial behavior-opponent (AO) and the sub-dimensions of consistency and responsibility. There was a significant positive correlation between the neuroticism sub-dimension. There was no statistically significant relationship between the sub-dimensions of extraversion and openness.
