A comparison of aggression among athletes in strike and non-strikegame and sports

In this study, we assessed the Aggression between the athletes of Strike and Non-Strike game and sports. Eighty (N=80) male athletes of 19 to 24 years of age group (mean ± s: age = 21.1±2.8 years) were purposively sampled to participate in the present study. They were further divided into two groups which includes forty (n= 40) Strike athletes and forty (n= 40) Non-Strike athletes. Participants completed the Aggression Questionnaire constructed by Buss-Perry (BAQ, 1992) to measure Aggression. Statistical technique i.e. the student‘t’ test was applied to find out the significant differences between athletes of Strike and Non-Strike Athletes. To test the hypothesis, the level of significance was set at 0.05. The results revealed significant differences between the Strike and Non-Strike Athleteson the variable Aggression. However, strike athletes possessed a higher level of Aggression than Non-Strike athletes. The higher level of Aggression can be attributed to the high amount of Strike that occurs in Strike game and sports.
