Tey were administered online the NEO-FFI and IBD-R questionnaires, and a brief demographic form. Te results show major diferences in personality characteristics among the participants according to their position in the game, establishing positive relations and linear predictive mainly between emotional exhaustion and cordiality, and negatively with the ability to maintain results; as well as the depersonalization was positively predicted by cordiality and the ability to assess the results.
