Description :
From the large sample of subjects selected for PhD, 120 Ss
were pooled out on the basis of
predetermined criteria of gender and success orientation. Gender and success orientation were treated as
an independent variables, each varied at two levels. Aggression was dependent variable. A 2x2 factorial
design was use
d and three hypotheses were tested in the study. Male sportsperson exhibit significantly
more aggressive behavior than female sportsperson. The sportspersons having individual success
orientation are significantly more aggressive than those having group su
ccess orientation. The
interactional hypothesis reads as, male sportsperson having individual success orientation are
significantly more aggressive than female sportspersons having group success orientation. First the data
were treated by descriptive stati
stical techniques mean and standard deviation. .finally, two way analysis
of variance was applied. Findings of the study revealed that male sportsperson were significantly more
aggressive than female sportspersons. Strong association was found between indi
vidual success
orientation and aggression. Results fail to support interactional hypothesis. It seems with regards to
aggression, gender and success orientation functioned independently.
