“…However, social learning theory principles cannot explain the absence of the higher off- problems such as aggression (Donnellan et al, 2005). Bojanić et al (2019) showed higher self-esteem of team sports athletes in comparison to combat sports athletes.…”

On-field aggressive behaviour is often seen on sports fields and numerous theories tried to identify its origins. This study tackled the question of whether the youth athletes in contact and non-contact sports could be differentiated on the basis of the hostile and competitive aggression, and some other characteristics that showed to be related to the aggressive onfield behaviour. The study sample comprised 154 of (51% girls) young athletes aged between 10 and 15 years from various contact and non-contact disciplines (wrestling, boxing, taekwondo, football, swimming, athletics, and dance). Participants completed several questionnaires regarding their aggressive behaviour, motivation, anxiety, self-esteem and emotional regulation. Only the competitive, but not hostile, aggression was more present among the youth athletes in contact sports. From all other characteristics, self-esteem, although in a lower extent, predicted affiliation of the non-contact sports group.

“…The moderation effect of financial awards was detected as significant between the subscale confidence and achievement motivation and cognitive trait anxiety. Confidence is made up of self-assessment of one's own activities, the outcome of the social comparison process with others, and a reflection of fan, audience, or media support (Keegan et al, 2010;Harwood et al, 2015;Kaplánová and Gregor, 2018;Bojanić et al, 2019). If the environment is favorable and supportive, it is manifested by increasing confidence and the motivation to achieve success of athletes; if the environment is hostile, it reduces the performance (Hays et al, 2009;Kaplánová, 2019b).…”

Objective: Financial awards can be an important factor affecting athletes' mental preparation and various skills to manage stress. Since such a link has not yet been studied, the study has been designed to evaluate the moderation effect of financial awards in relation to football players' anxiety and coping skills. Methods: The study consists of 110 male football players aged 18-32 years old (mean ± SD: 23.98 ± 3.01 years) who were divided into two groups: financial awarded (n = 48) and financial unawarded for sports performance (n = 62). The anxiety of football players was measured by the Sport Anxiety Scale SAS-2. Coping strategies to manage stress were assessed by the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory ACSI-28. The effect of financial awards in relation to football players' anxiety and coping skills was evaluated by the mediators' model using the PROCESS software (Hayes, 2018).

“…The study of anxiety during volleyball and basketball competitions showed a statistically nonexistent lower level of the variable (by 9%) in basketball players [3]. Comparisons between the group of martial arts (wrestling, karate, judo, kick boxing, taekwondo and MMA) and the group of team games (football, basketball, volleyball and handball) showed significantly higher levels of self-esteem and neuroticism of game players [4].…”

Background and Study Aim. Psychology is a very important field of knowledge in every area of human life, and personality and temperament have a large impact on the quality of human life, including mental and physical health, and indirectly on the results achieved in elite sport. The purpose of the study was to verify the assumption that there are differences in the psychological profile of professional sportsman students depending on the gender and type of sports discipline. Material and methods. The research covered athletes of both sexes belonging to academic sports clubs practicing volleyball, basketball and judo. The size of each of the six groups was 24 people. Standardized psychological tests were used to determine the levels of selected personality and temperamental traits: trait anxiety, neuroticism, extraversion, briskness, perseveration, sensory sensitivity, emotional reactivity, endurance, activity, and six components of aggressiveness: physical aggressiveness, verbal aggressiveness, indirect aggressiveness, negativism, suspiciousness, resentment, irritability, overall and guilty sense. Two-way analysis of variance (sex * sport) was used to assess the differences between the groups. Results. Women showed higher trait anxiety, extraversion, perseveration, emotional reactivity results and lower physical aggressiveness levels compared to men. Basketball practitioners had the lowest levels of aggressiveness components, and the highest levels of briskness. Conclusions. The results suggest that the psychological profile of women participating in competitive sports may account for a higher emotional cost than men in terms of competition and failure. This fact should be taken into account by the coaches of female sports teams. The differences between sports may be due to the different structure of the task.
