“…However, our athletes did not indicate to justify this temporal suspension of morality as appropriate (cf. Kavussanu et al, 2013), as their moral disengagement appeared to remain stable across the two contexts.…”

“…Moral disengagement has been consistently and positively associated with antisocial behaviour (e.g. Hodge & Gucciardi, 2015;Kavussanu, Boardley, Sagar, & Ring, 2013;Stanger et al, 2018;Stanger, Kavussanu, Boardley, & Ring, 2013). The relationship between moral disengagement and prosocial behaviour is less clear, with some studies reporting a negative relationship Stanger et al, 2018), and others reporting null findings (e.g.…”

This study examined whether (a) adolescent (Mage = 15.13, SD = 1.55) team-sport athletes' (N = 137) perceived motivational climate, moral disengagement, and prosocial and antisocial behaviour differ in training and competition contexts, (b) moral disengagement mediates the relationship between motivational climate and prosocial and antisocial behaviour in training and competition, and (c) indirect effects between motivational climate, moral disengagement, and prosocial and antisocial behaviour are moderated by context. Repeated measures ANOVA revealed that athletes reported higher performance climate and antisocial behaviour in competition than in training, whereas mastery climate, moral disengagement and prosocial behaviour did not differ between contexts. Moderated mediation analysis revealed that the relationships between mastery climate and antisocial behaviour, and between performance climate and antisocial behaviour, were both mediated by moral disengagement in both contexts. No mediation effect was moderated by context. The findings of this study contribute to a better understanding of personal and contextual influences on athletes' moral functioning in sport.

“…Moral disengagement has been defined as "…a set of psychological mechanisms that individuals use to minimize negative emotional reactions-such as guilt-when engaging in harmful conduct" (Kavussanu et al 2013, p. 454; see also Bandura 1991). When one is morally disengaged, s/he minimizes personal responsibility for harmful behavior, reconstructs harmful behaviors into nonthreatening ones, blames the victim and misrepresents the harmful effects of the behavior (Kavussanu et al 2013). Further, moral disengagementalong with ego and task orientations-have found to be associated with sport moral behavior in previous research (Kavussanu 2008).…”

In this paper, a vision for the future of U.S. NCAA Division I university sport is presented. It is argued that this context could serve as the place where performance "excellence" is rooted in caring. However, U.S. sport at this level must become purposefully structured to include educational components related to moral thinking, feeling, and behaving. Otherwise, it will continue to foster a type of disconnected or "game reasoning" mentality, building "characters" vs. character (Shields & Bredemeier, 1995). Using U.S.-focused feminism as the necessary first intervention, the paper is situated within a care moral orientation (e.g., Gilligan 1979Gilligan , 1982 as well as sport psychology moral development scholarship (e.g., . A brief review of the current state of affairs in U.S. NCAA Division I university sport is presented first. Next, selected literature related to a care moral orientation and moral disconnection in U.S. psychology and sport psychology is highlighted. Finally, one vision of what a model of conscious, caring and connected U.S. NCAA Division I sport research and practice could look like is offered. Specifically, those who have the power to influence sport would develop character and the related skills of moral consciousness, caring, and connection, undergirded by feminist moral principles and reflective practice. Feminist (and all) sport psychology professionals are in a prime position to engage with sport constituents to enhance athletes' overall experience, where character does matter, and, so, too, does performance.

“…Atrelada a essa concepção positiva relacionada ao esporte ressalta-se a emergência do "fair play", que em linhas gerais se define pelos comportamentos pró-sociais praticados por atletas em contextos competitivos (Kavussanu, Boardley, Sagar, & Ring, 2013;Lee et al, 2008).…”

Sin embargo, los índices de consistencia interna (alfa de Cronbach) fueron aceptables solamente para dos factores (status: α = 0,62; moral: α = 0,70), en el factor de competencia este índice fue un poco por debajo de lo aceptable α = 0 56). En el Estudio 2, se buscó comprobar la estructura factorial del YSVQ-2, contando con una nueva muestra de 200 jóvenes atletas. En el, se realizó un Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (AFC), donde los resultados mostraron indicadores de ajuste del modelo cerca de la recomendada: χ² (148) = 108,43, p < 0,001, χ² / gl = 2,26, GFI = 0,92, CFI = 0,90, RMSEA = 0,08 (IC90% = 0,06-0,10). Así, el estudio presentó evidencias de validez factorial del YSVQ-2 para el contexto brasileño, pero se recomiendan nuevas investigaciones de validez de este instrumento.
