Associação entre temperamento, esporte escolar e desempenho acadêmico: revisão de escopo e estudo transversal

Abstract

Introduction: Physical Education is an important curricular component that contributes to the development of students during childhood and adolescence. It can impact the development of psychological characteristics such as personality, temperament, and character. The aim of the present study was to identify how personality, temperament, character, and socioemotional competence are investigated in school-aged children and adolescents. Methods: The study followed the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA). It was registered in the Open Science Framework (OSF). Searches were conducted in the PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science databases, and Google Scholar was used for gray literature searches. The PCC framework guided the search strategy: Population – “children,” “adolescents,” and “students”; Concept – “personality,” “temperament,” “character,” “emotional regulation,” “social skills,” “moral development,” and “social values”; Context – “physical education and training,” “youth sports,” and “sports.” Results: The search identified 8,957 articles. A total of 750 duplicates were removed. During the selection process, 5,094 studies were excluded based on titles and abstracts. Consequently, 1,065 articles were assessed in full text. In the end, 100 articles remained in the final analysis. Conclusion: The findings of this scoping review regarding objectives, methods, instruments, and outcomes provide essential insights for offering concrete practical strategies within Physical Education. These can support teachers and school administrators in fostering students’ holistic development and highlight new research opportunities based on existing gaps in the literature.
