ABSTRACT:
A Likert type Attitude Towards Violence Scale (ATVS) was administered to undergraduate students. Males (N is 376) showed significantly higher scores, indicating a willingness to accept violence as a way to solve problems, than females (N is 153). Members of male varsity contact sports teams (e.g., football, lacrosse) had higher scores than members of male varsity non contact sports teams (e.g., golf, tennis). Male varsity athletes who were members of non contact sports teams did not have significantly higher ATVS scores than male students who were not members of varsity athletic teams. There was no significant differences in ATVS scores between females who participated in varsity sports and females who did not. ATVS scores are independent of social-economic background. The higher ATVS scores were obtained by members of the male varsity football, lacrosse, and wrestling teams. An attitude toward violence scale was administered to 376 male college students and 153 female college students. Males showed significantly higher scores, indicating a willingness to accept violence as a way to solve problems than females. Members of male varsity contact sports teams had higher scores than members of male varsity non-contact sports teams. There was no significant difference in scores between females who participated in varsity sports and females who did not.
