ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether female athletes and non-athletes would show an increase in aggressive attitudes after exposure to filmed violence. The subjects were 40 college varisty athletes and 40 college women with no prior varsity experience. Experimental and control groups were randomly assigned and subdivided into pretest and nonpretest condition groups. The Menzies Aggressive Attitude Scale was used to determine baseline and postfilm aggressive attitude scores. The results demonstrated no significant differences in the baseline levels of aggressive attitudes between athletes and non-athletes, nor did taking or not taking a pretest affect postfilm aggression test scores. Aggression scores of athletes were not affected by observing filmed violence, while non-athletes exhibited a trend toward increased aggression scores. The results were consistent with the stated major hypothesis that athletes have the ability to resist an increase in aggressive attitudes after witnessing aggressive stimuli in the form of filmed violence. Investigates whether 40 female athletes and 40 non-athletes would show an increase in aggresive attitudes after exposure to filmed violence. The Menzies Aggressive Attitude scale was used to determine baseline and post film attitudes scores. Results support the hypothesis that athletes have the ability to resist an increase in aggressive attitudes after witnessing aggressive stimuli in the form of filmed violence.
