Abstract
The main purpose of the present study was to investigate female aggression in semi-contact sport. More specifically, two areas were examined: the types of aggression, hostile or instrumental, that occurred in girls basketball and soccer and the types of aggression that were committed within both sports. The subjects (N = 57) for this study were female athletes ( ages 15-18) who were sampled from various Midwestern high schools: basketball athletes (n = 32) and soccer athletes (n = 25). Subjects responded to a modified form of the Bredemeier Athletic Aggression Inventory (BAAGI-S). One way ANOVA's indicated non-significant differences for the hostile aggression and instrumental aggression subscale scores between basketball and soccer. Paired t-tests revealed significant differences within the hostile and instrumental means for the basketball players. Further testing also revealed a significant difference within the hostile and instrumental scores for the soccer athletes. Demographic results indicated homogeneous characteristics for the variables of years in sport and age.
