Abstract Details

The primary purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the relationship between perfectionism, anxiety, and anger on reactive aggression in male, contact sport athletes. A total of 50 male athletes competing in three contact sports, ice hockey, rugby, and football completed the surveys. A significant regression analysis revealed that the Sport-MPS subscales of perfectionism predicted levels of reactive aggression, as measured by the Bredemeier Athletic Aggression Inventory, specifically the concern over mistakes subscale and the organization subscale. Also, it was found that levels of reported state-anger, anxiety, and perfectionism significantly predicted levels of reactive aggression. Future research directions and study limitations will be discussed
