Abstract |
The purpose of the present study was to demonstrate the effects of the undergone feeling of injustice on the adoption and justification of aggressive behaviours. Male soccer players (196) completed a questionnaire presenting fair or unfair situations. They had to choose one of the four proposed reactions (no aggression, verbal aggression, nonhurting physical aggression, hurting physical aggression) and to justify it on a five point Likert scale. The results of this study showed that players who were confronted with injustice chose more aggressive reactions than players who were not. Furthermore, all players, whatever the experimental condition, justified the adoption of unaggressive behaviours. However, a negative correlation between the chosen behaviour and its justification was found among players who were not confronted with injustice.
