ABSTRACT:
The present study is a replication and extension of Stephens and Bredemeier's (1966) study of likelihood to aggress in female youth soccer players. Three hundred and seven soccer players, representing three age-group coed leagues (n=257: Under -11, under -12, and Under -13) and one all-girls league (n=20), answered a soccer-specific test battery which included an assessment of players' perceived ability, goal orientation, perception of coach's goal orientation, perception of team's pro-aggressive norm, moral motive, and likelihood to aggress. Results of stepwise multiple regressions indicated players' perceptions of their team's pro-aggressive norm was the primary predictor of likelihood to aggress for boys and girls in the coed leagues, as well as for girls in the all-girls league. Moral motive and perceived ability also contributed to the prediction equation for the boys in the coed leagues; perception of coach's ego orientation also added to the prediction equation for the girls playing in the all-girls league.
