Abstract

Background: It is necessary to deal with the aggressive behaviour of young people and find out whether sport can play a role in this area. So far, findings indicate modification role of sports activity and its type in terms of contact's occurrence, in the behavior of individuals. Objective: The aim of the study is to compare the level of the dimension of aggression and anxiety trait between nonathletes and contact and noncontact sport athletes and to assess the relationship between dimensions of aggression and the level of anxiety trait across the groups. Methods: The research group consisted of 153 males aged 22.07 ± 2.49 years: 47 contact sport athletes, 51 noncontact sport athletes and 55 nonathletes. Dimensions of aggression were evaluated by the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire, anxiety trait was evaluated by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. The differences between the groups were assessed with the Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U test was used for posthoc pairwise comparisons. Relationship between dimensions of aggression and anxiety trait was assessed by the Spearman correlation coefficient. Results: We found that nonathletes were more physically aggressive than contact sport athletes and they also displayed a higher level of anger and hostility. Moreover, nonathletes were more hostile, physical and verbally aggressive than noncontact sport athletes. Nonathletes also had a higher level of anxiety trait than athletes. There was no difference between athletes in any dimension of aggression and anxiety trait level. Besides that, we found a significant relationship between anxiety trait level and physical aggression across the groups. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that sports activity can be beneficial for personality in both contact and noncontact athletes. Sport activity may be one of the factors which increase the possibility of releasing of aggression, while "contactness" of the sport does not play any major role in the aggression of athletes.
年轻男性接触与非接触运动员攻击与焦虑特质水平
背景:有必要处理年轻人的攻击性行为,并找出体育是否可以在这方面发挥作用。到目前为止,研究结果表明,体育活动及其类型在接触发生方面对个体行为的改变作用。目的:比较非运动员与接触性和非接触性运动运动员的攻击维度和焦虑特质的水平,并评估各组间攻击维度与焦虑特质水平的关系。方法:研究对象为男性153例(22.07±2.49岁),其中接触性运动运动员47例,非接触性运动运动员51例,非接触性运动运动员55例。攻击维度采用Buss-Perry攻击问卷评估,焦虑特质采用状态-特质焦虑量表评估。采用Kruskal-Wallis检验评估组间差异,采用Mann-Whitney U检验进行事后两两比较。攻击行为各维度与焦虑特质的关系采用Spearman相关系数进行评估。结果:我们发现非运动员比身体接触运动的运动员更具攻击性,他们也表现出更高的愤怒和敌意。此外,非运动员比非接触运动运动员更具敌意、身体和言语攻击性。非运动员的焦虑水平也高于运动员。运动员在攻击性和焦虑特质各维度上均无显著差异。此外,我们还发现焦虑特质水平与肢体攻击之间存在显著的关系。结论:我们的研究结果表明,体育活动对接触和非接触运动员的个性都有好处。体育活动可能是增加攻击性释放可能性的因素之一,而运动的“接触性”对运动员的攻击性不起主要作用。
