Motivational Climate Is Associated with Use of Video Games and Violence in Schoolchildren: A Structural Equation Model According to Healthy Behaviors

“…A positive relationship existed between an ego-oriented climate and violent behaviour in schoolchildren who habitually engaged in physical activity. These findings corroborate those reported in previous studies [49,50], with direct relationships reported between an ego-oriented climate, aggressiveness and violent behaviour, and a task-oriented climate being related with lower levels of aggression [51]. An ego-oriented motivational climate is characterised by greater levels of rivalry between members of a group, greater competitiveness and maladaptive behaviour, which can lead to an increase in violent behaviour.…”

The Effects of Prosocial and Antisocial Behaviors on Emotion, Attention, and Performance During a Competitive Basketball Task

“…The perception that one has been treated disrespectfully is the most common source of anger (see Miller, 2001) with many studies showing that disrespectful treatment elicits anger (see Bettencourt & Miller, 1996). In previous sport research, players who perceived their teammates acting antisocially toward them during a single competition or the entire season reported more anger (Al-Yaaribi et al, 2016;Al-Yaaribi & Kavussanu, 2018), suggesting that antisocial teammate behavior has the potential to elicit anger.…”

“…Antisocial teammate behavior, on the other hand, may have negative consequences for the recipient's well-being and performance. Players' perceptions of antisocial behavior by their teammates during a match have been associated with more anger, less effort, and lower perceived performance (Al-Yaaribi et al, 2016;Al-Yaaribi & Kavussanu, 2018). In addition, antisocial teammate behavior has been inversely associated with commitment, and this relationship was mediated by effort and perceived performance.…”

Antisocial Behavior in Soccer Players: Using an Integrated Mediation Model of Personal Control and Social Learning Theory

“…Cheating is defined as an intentional rule‐breaking of the game to gain an unfair advantage over others (Kavussanu, 2019). These two behaviors have been investigated in recent years (Al‐Yaaribi and Kavussanu, 2017; Al‐Yaaribi and Kavussanu, 2018; Al‐Yaaribi, Kavussanu, and Ring, 2016; Guivernau and Duda, 2002; Hodge and Gucciardi, 2015; Hodge and Lonsdale, 2011; Kamis et al., 2016; Kavussanu, 2008; Kavussanu and Spray, 2006; Kavussanu, Stanger, and Ring, 2015).…”

“…While antisocial behaviors such as cheating and excessive aggression have long been part of sport and competition, criminologists have paid little attention to this line of inquiry to date. Additionally, the existing research on negative behaviors in sport tends to stem from the field of psychology, with these examples often minimizing the role of the social milieu (Al‐Yaaribi and Kavussanu, 2018; Kavussanu, 2019).…”
