Abstract
This study compares aggression in sixth grade students (N=661) from a large southwestern city by participation in a broad range of physical activities. Aggression scores (M = 12.96 ± 12.1, range 0-66) reflect the previous week frequency of verbal aggression (teasing, name-calling, hitting, encouraging students to fight, threatening to hurt or hit), physical aggression (pushing, slapping, kicking), and anger (getting angry easily, being angry most of the day). The sample (51% male) reported a mean age of 11.8 ±.74) and included 70% Hispanic, 17% African-American, 6% Caucasian, and 4% Asian. Results indicate that students who participated in aggressive sports were significantly higher in overall forms of aggression while students who participated in less aggressive sports actually had reduced overall aggression.
