“…Furthermore, it is also noticeable that psychological (roughly 40%) and physical violence (around 30%) are the most predominant type of violence among athletes. At the territory of Vojvodina (including Subotica), a similar conclusion was reached by Milovanović et al (2020b).…”

“…Besides that sport is a desirable environment for aggression and violence prevention, these behaviors appear in sports activities, as shown in earlier researches (Brackenridge et al, 2010;Milovanović, et al, 2020a;Milovanović et al, 2020b;Milovanović et al, 2019a;Milovanović et al, 2019b;Park et al, 2017;Ţivković et al, 2013).…”

“…Sport, as an environment and favorite extracurricular activity, can have both positive and negative outcomes (including aggression and violence) (Wankel & Berger, 1990). It has the power to affect individuals' health physically, mentally, and emotionally (Collins et al, 2018); be a socialization canal; filter out aggression; maintain prosocial behavior (Milovanović et al, 2020b), which can indirectly counteract with the effect of aggression (Wang et al, 2015); improve positivity, better problem and, conflict solving (Wankel & Berger, 1990); self-esteem (Richman & Shaffer, 2000); group cohesion between athletes (Milovanović et. al., 2020a); and reduce anxiety and depression (Wankel & Berger, 1990).…”

“…However, education and awareness play an important role in recognizing, preventing, dealing, and appropriately responding to these social phenomena (Brackenridge et al, 2010). In addition, important strategies are to understand these behaviors, promote acceptance of diversity (Milovanović, et al, 2020b), and stimulation consciousness towards this issue among athletes (Milovanović et al, 2020a), that in the end children would be oriented to solve conflict situations without harming others (Gentile et al, 2019).…”

“…The second part included questions about: a) the occurrence of peer violence in trained sport, b) the frequency of the peer violence among athletes, c) the time when (before, during, or after training; before, during, or after competition; during trips and sports camp) and the location where (gym, dressing room, training, and bathroom area) violence occur, c) forms of violence (physical, psychological and sexual). The survey was constructed by the authors of the research, which was used in earlier studies (Milovanović et al, 2020b). The participants' answers were measured on a fivepoint scale, from completely disagreeing to completely agree.…”

This study was designed to detect aggression and peer violence manifestation forms in youth sports in Subotica. The sample consisted of athletes (N=255), aged between 11 and 18 years. Besides presenting descriptive statistics, the Mann-Whitney U test was used to assess the differences in variables (gender, school age, training years, sport type) among the forms of violence that can occur and among the ones that do occur. The results indicate the presence of aggression and violence. The most frequent place is in the dressing room, and the more common period is after or during training and while traveling to competitions, sports camps, etc. The study indicates significant differences in sexual violence between primary and secondary school-age children. Moreover, physical and psychological violence is significantly dominant in collective sports compared to the individual ones. Recognizing the presence of these phenomena is the first step toward reducing their potential negative outcomes.

Aggression and interpersonal violence (IV) against children and youth are issues in contemporary society. The current study reports on the youth athletes’ perception of the aggression and IV prevalence and its manifestation forms in a Serbian context. The sample included athletes (N = 2091) between the age of 11 and 18 years. Data were collected through an ad-hoc questionnaire created by the authors. Respondents’ answers to introductory questions about the frequency of IV indicated its absence (78.1%). However, the answers to the questions about specific forms of violent peer behavior indicated forms as well as the time and place where IV most often occurs. They underlined that IV takes place mainly after training or competition and during sports camps; and that the dressing room is the most favorable place for these behaviors. They also confirmed that the most prevalent subtypes of IV are psychological (roughly 40%) and physical (approximately 30%). The respondents’ opinions and experiences about IV (psychological, physical, sexual) revealed that factors such as gender, location, and parents’ education level may influence the IV manifestation. Highlighting the prevalence and the most frequently manifesting types of aggression and IV could help in awareness-raising of these social issues.
