Aggression Levels of Spectators in Terms of Stages of Behavior Change and Gender

Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the levels of aggression in football spectators attending university in terms of stages of behavior change and gender.564 football spectators who were university students in 2017 Football Season filled in the Aggression Scale and Stages of Behavior Change Questionnaire. T-test, one way variance analysis and LSD tests were conducted for statistical analysis. Total aggression scores of the spectators, most of whom were educated in sports, was found as 45.40 in women and 59.96 in men. The differences between the behavioral, cognitive, affective and total scale scores of men and women were found to be significant (p<0,001). While both genders were found to have intermediate levels of aggression, the aggression levels of women spectators were found to be lower when compared with men. When total aggression scale scores were analyzed in terms of the stages of behavior change, the highest average was found in those within the pre-contemplative stage with 62.54, while the lowest average was found in those within the maintenance state with 54.25. There is a significant difference between total scale and sub-scales in terms of the stages of behavior change (p<0,05). The scores of those within the stage of pre-contemplation decrease as the stages advance to contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance. The aggression levels of university student football spectators were found to decrease as the level of activity increased according to the stages of behavior change. According to the stages of behavior change, it was concluded that the participants who were doing sports had lower aggression levels when compared with those who were not contemplating or those who were contemplating to do sports. It was suggested that the rates of doing sport should be increased in order to decrease the aggression levels of spectators.
