Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between anger and aggression in contact and noncontact sports. A total of 210 volunteer athletes (94 contact, 116 noncontact) were included in this study. All participants were asked to complete the Tehran Multidimensional Anger Scale (TMAS) and the Competitive Aggression Questionnaire (CAQ). The results revealed that all anger subscales were positively associated with indices of competitive aggression in both contact and noncontact sports. However, only anger-in and anger-out could significantly predict changes related to competitive aggressive behaviors. The results also revealed that anger control-in’ and anger control-out’ were negatively associated with indices of competitive aggression in both contact and noncontact sports.
