مقایسة پرخاشگری بین ورزشکاران بهصورتبرخورد گروهی و غير برخورد گروهی و غیر ورزشکاران

Aggression is among the most significant issues in many societies today, specifically in younger generation, leading to numerous problems. This inspires researchers to look for ways to solve this individual and social problem. One of these well-known ways to reduce aggression is exercise and sports. As a result, the aim of the present study is to compare the aggression among athletes of various disciplines including collision groups, non-collision groups and non-athletes. The design of the study is descriptive and of scientific-comparative kind. 120 people were selected randomly from the male athletes and non-athletes in Yazd.  The demographic-aggressive questionnaire of Bass and Perry (1992) was employed for the purpose of this study. For data analysis, descriptive statistics and inferential tests of goodness of fit (k-s) and one-way ANOVA were used. The results showed that non-athletes were significantly more aggressive compared to group sport athletes (collision and non-collision). The results further showed that there is no significant difference in terms of aggression between athletes of the collision group sports and those of non-collision group sports.
