Summary/Abstract: A rank correlation between component of anxious expectations and fears before the match and component of depression after the match in the personality of football referees was statistically proven in the past. We presume that there is a possibility that this relationship is in fact qualified by the temperament of referees. We evaluated subjective psychological experiences and states of 26 football referees through standardized questionnaire SUPSO. The questionnaire had been always administrated twice: directly before the match and immediately after its finish.
