“…These results confirm the predictions of social interdependence theory, but only partially support the predictions of the theories related to social dominance. The negative relationship between cooperativeness and harm-intended aggression is consistent with previous evidence (Bay-Hinitz, Peterson, & Quilitch, 1994;Berkowitz, 1989;Napier, 1981;Nelson, Gelfand, & Hartmann, 1969;Tjosvold & Chia, 1989). The positive relationship between cooperativeness and prosocial behavior also corroborates previous research (Johnson & Johnson, 1983;Solomon et al, 1990).…”

This study examined the relationships among cooperative experiences, social interdependence predispositions, harm‐intended aggression, victimization, and prosocial behaviors with 217 elementary school children from 3rd to 5th grade. Path analysis using LISREL indicates that cooperative experiences predicted cooperative predispositions, the absence of individualistic predispositions, and prosocial behaviors. Cooperative predisposition predicted prosocial behaviors and the absence of harm‐intended aggression. Competitive predisposition predicted harm‐intended aggression. These findings validate social interdependence theory and partially support theories related to social dominance. Providing frequent cooperative learning experiences may be an important tool to increase students' cooperativeness and thereby reduce the frequency of harm‐intended aggression, increase the frequency of prosocial behaviors, and reduce students' individualistic predispositions.

“…The survey results also indicate the fact that majority of the respondents themselves indulge in aggressive behaviour, coupled with rash decisions during the game owing accumulated aggression (2) . However, a vast majority of the respondents claim that their aggression lasts as long as the game does, and their decisions post the game are independent of the game, whatsoever the situations created during the game.…”

“…The above statement represents the very fact of an alpha male complex appearing in sportsmen that links reckless crass behaviour with elite ruthless performance on -field. Gelfand and Hartman discovered that participation in simple activities raised boys' and girls' levels of aggression, regardless of the final result of the activity (2) . This certainly goes on to imply that the need of the hour is to manage the psychology of a sportsperson beyond the realms of his or her sporting arena.…”

Background:Sport aggression is a common phenomenon visible among athletes on the field of play. At times, such behaviour is expected of an athlete. Peak performance is claimed to be a resultant product of approaching a player or a sport with a certain amount of aggression. The objective of the research paper is to determine if aggression attributed to participation in sport has its ramifications beyond the field of play for an athlete.Methods: The research was conducted using a self-administered survey of close-ended questions distributed among the general population.Results:The results of this research postulate that aggression is present in professional as well as recreational realms of play and is in fact acquired rather than innately possessed. The results depict a trend of aggressive outbursts within the field of play. However, such outbursts or effects of accumulated aggression are limited to the field of play and do not find themselves manifested beyond that. Conclusion:In summation, sports and aggression are inseparable and instances of violent outburst are visible among athletes beyond the pitch. However, the frequency of such occurrences is negligible when compared to the general population.

“…Historically, many of these were field studies of naturally occurring intergroup conflicts, such as Sherif, Harvey, White, Hood, and Sherif's (1961) classic Robbers Cave experiment, in which two parties of adolescents participated in a series of competitive activities for a group trophy and individual prizes. In these studies, the researchers were mostly interested in frustration as a cause of competitive group behavior, and they therefore implemented various types of punishments of opponents or teammates to serve as measures of aggression (see also Nelson et al, 1969;Worchel, Andreoli, & Folger, 1977). More recently, researchers have adopted virtual environments, such as video games, to study individual and intergroup frustrations, not only because they are increasingly common in everyday life, especially for adolescents and young adults, but also because they allow meticulous manipulation and control of the contingencies thought to elicit (or prevent) frustration.…”
