Abstract
The article considers the relation between locus of control and life-purpose orientations of sportsmen with varying skill level, and determines the influence of a skill level as a moderator in this relationship. The study has found that both internality and externality play a significant role in this process. Sportsmen-internals show higher indices of life meaningfulness compared to externals. There is also a tendency in the increase of life meaningfulness with a higher sports skill. Yet, no relationship between locus of control and a skill level has been found, which demonstrates that locus of control and life-purpose orientations do not depend on a skill level of a sportsman. The results show that internal locus of control correlates with a positive view of life, while a skill level influences some of these relations not being a moderator.
