IDO MOVEMENT FOR CULTURE

It is inevitable that everyone dealing with sport will encounter the phenomenon known as ”aggression”. Rarely can we find a subject that is as considered as aggression and violence. To study the above cases, the aim of this research is to carry out a survey about aggression rates in some fields of sport, compare these fields with each other and compare athletes with non-athletes. 105 elite athletes in different sports, 38 persons in swimming (non-contact sport), 32 persons in controlling karate (limited contact) and 35 persons in kickboxing (contactable sport) who) participated in the second Iranian Olympiad in 2008, were compared with 105 non-athletes.
All of subjects completed an aggression questionnaire, compiled by Buss and Perry [1992]. After analysis of the questionnaires and using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) with the comparison between different types, data were obtained from the aggression questionnaire.
The findings of the research indicate a significant difference in the different levels of aggression between research types (p<0.001). Tukey’s test also shows that the greatest difference was in the kickboxing group and the least difference was in karate and swimming. The results show that except in kickboxing which is contact and rough, athletes in other fields do not have significantly different aggression factors from non-athletes and the theory that athletes in non-contact and limited-contact fields have more aggression than non-athletes is not borne out by the result of this research.
