  2. Aggression & Violence in Sports “A Sequence of behavior in which the goal is to injure another person” (Miller et al., 1939). “Any Form of behavior directed toward the goal of harming or injuring another being…” (Baron, 1977) “ any form of behavior that is intended to injure someone physically or psychologically” (Berkowitz,1993)

  3. Types of Aggression A. Hostile: Goal is injury of another person (anger)( Bredemeier,1980). B. Instrumental: Occurs in the pursuit of some non-aggressive goal, and is not intended to be rule-violating but may cause injury.

  4. THEORIES OF HUMAN AGRESSION Instinct Theory 1. Aggression is an innate biological drive. 2. Aggression results in a purging or venting of pent-up emotions.( Cathartic theory) 3. Sport provides a safe and socially acceptable outlet for aggression. (Circular theory)

  5. Frustration - Aggression Hypothesis (Sargent’s Model) 1. Aggression is a natural consequence of frustration. 2. The strength of the tendency to be aggressive is related to the strength, degree and number of frustrations. 3. Most Aggression in sport results from frustration. 4. Motives are blocked 5. Emotional reactions:hostility, shame, displacement, regression,repression

  6. Social Learning Theory 1.The need for aggression is a learned response. 2. Aggression begets further aggression.(Circular Theory) 3. Aggression does not serve as a vent or Catharsis against further aggression.

  7. Smelser’s (1962) Valued Added Theory • Structural conduciveness-social circumstances where collective behavior could result. • Structural strain- a social situation in which people feel dissatisfied with their social environment • Growth and spread of a generalized belief that someone or something is responsible for the strain and the view that a quick remedy is possible

  8. Smelser(Cont.) • Precipitating factors- one or more dramatic, public actions or events which confirm the generalized belief. • Mobilization of participants for action- a gathering of those individuals who share the generalized belief. • Breakdown of social control mechanism-deterioration in the integrity of social control agents

  9. Sport Related Aggression Research A. Point Differential - More aggression penalties occur as the game score differential increases. B. Plays at Home or Away (Varies by teams and situations) C. Outcome of Participation - Losing team observed to be more aggressive. D. League Standings - Lower teams commit more aggressive acts. E. Period of Play - Acts of aggression increase as game proceeds.
