Nitra : Univerzita Konštantína Filozofa v Nitre, 2024. ISSN 2729-8183. Vol. 5, no. 2 (2024), pp. 90-102.The paper presents the results of research on the selected personality characteristics of professional interpreters and interpreting students, with a specific focus on gender differences. The characteristics studied were anxiety (measured by STAI) and achievement motivation (measured by AMI). The results of our research show that women (n=33) are characterized by higher anxiety compared to men (n=10). Regarding motivation, women (n=31) in our research were also characterized by statistically significant higher pride in productivity, status orientation, and competitiveness compared to men (n=10). However, these differences in personality characteristics do not cause significant differences in interpreting performance between men and women.en© vydavateľinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessrodové rozdielygender differencestlmočenieinterpretationinterpretingosobnostné charakteristikypersonality characteristicsArticle
