Introduction
explain the behavior of sports persons in athletic setting both practice and competitive with a view
to enhance performance. Today there is no sport without sports psychology. It is well know that
psychology grew out of philosophy and within a few decades of the modern era of science and
education, it shaped into a huge banyan tree with hundreds of branches and offshoots making it a
recent phenomenon a distinct addition to that ever expanding family of psychology. Known as
hybrid science, a fusion of sport, science and psychology-sports psychology is all about sports
behavior especially with muscle-mind interaction, there influences and their outcomes in the
context of sports, which is basically a form of active reaction, but which has turned intensely
concentrating, are focusing excreta. Team interaction and convention are all practical tasks in which
athlete’s teachers/coaches and sports psychologists play reciprocally cooperative but decisive roles.
All other things being equal athletic event/sports are winning in the mind. One of the goals of
applied sports psychology is to investigate human performance stabilize and to enhance sports
performance.
The physical and sports are important factors of common education. Here the education is
important but not the only the physical activities. That is the psychological factors should be given
common education. Along with physical education that should be given an equal importance.
Initially the people are to spend their leaser-time by involving in physical activities. Which is to
As a time-past the people got increased and also the participation in physical activities also
got increased. This change to increase in interest and also the competition.
By this the lot of sports persons are becoming professional oriented. Today as there is immense
competition among these persons, so a person with just physical abilities, motor abilities, and any
other kind of physical abilities at peak-level they sports persons want to become successful he is
psychological factors alsoaining plays an important role. So the psychological training is need to be
given. That includes motivation, achievement motivation, aspiration levels, anxiety and arousal,
Therefore a success in the field of sports needs both the physical and psychological factors. This
gets us to an understanding that it is default and very much necessary to train the physical education
teachers, coaches in these psychological factors as they are directly linked with the people involved
in sports.
Among these psychological factors the “aggression” is important one. And the birth of this factor
The one opinion says that this comes along with birth and be a survival of the fittest.
Whereas the other opinion says that it depends on the environment where he grows.
The sports persons get into depression when the factors like fear, worry, socio-inequity, attitudinal
factors. Encroach an him. Leading to change in his normal behavior by expressing himself in
abnormal behavior is situational. So this person to control on his emotions to balance the aggression
factor.
A person also needs to have control on his aggression to much of aggression and also to low of it is
dangerous because his low aggression pulls –him back in the participation of the sports itself and
that of high aggression leads to an irregular activities such as breaking of rules and non coordinative
Ex:- in the field of cricket the behavior of the player Harbajan Singh with his teammate srishant.
This level of aggression also depends on the sports:- age, his surrounding environment and the
Physical education trends have developed recently to incorporate a greater variety of activities.
Introducing students to activities like bowling, walking/hiking, or Frisbee at an early age can help
students develop good activity habits that will carry over into adulthood. Some teachers have even
begun to incorporate stress reduction techniques such as yoga and deep-breathing. Teaching non –
traditional sports to students may also provide the necessary motivation for students to increase
their activity, and can help students learn about different cultures.
Another trend is the incorporation of Health and Nutrition to the physical education
curriculum. The Child Nutrition and WIC Re-authorization Act of 2004 required that all school
districts with a federally funded school meal program develop wellness policies that address
nutrition and physical activity. While teaching students sports and movement skills, P.E. teachers
are now incorporating short health and nutrition lessons into the curriculum. This is more prevalent
at the elementary school level, where students do not have a specific Health class. Recently most
elementary schools have specific health classes for students as swine flu, school district are making
it mandatory for students to learn about practicing good hygiene along with other health courses.
Many colleges and Universities offer both Physical Education and Health as one certification. This
push towards Health education is beginning in the intermediate level, including lessons on bullying,
In America, the physical education curriculum is designed to allow school pupils a full range of
modern opportunities, dozens of sports and hundreds of carefully reviewed drills and exercises,
including exposure to the education with the use of pedometer, GPS, and heart rate monitors, as
well as state-of-the-art exercise machines in the upper grades. Some martial arts classes, like
wrestling in the United States, and Pancake Silt in France, Indonesia and Malaysia, are taught to
teach children self-defense and to feel good about themselves. The physical education curriculum is
designed to allow students to experience at least a minimum exposure to the following categories of
activities: aquatics, conditioning activities, gymnastics, individual/dual sports, team sports, rhythms,
and dance. Students are encouraged to continue to explore those activities in which they have a
Sports psychology is the study of the psychological factors that affect participation and
performance in sports. It is also a specialization within the brain psychology and kinesiology that
activity, and exercise and apply these to enhance individual and team performance. It deals with
increasing performance by managing emotions and minimizing the psychological effects of injury
and poor performance. Some of the most important skills taught are goal setting, relaxation,
visualization, self-talk, awareness and control, concentration, confidence, using rituals, attribution
training, and periodization. Sport psychology defined in laymen’s terms: there are many psychology

tools you can apply in sports. Some of the psychology tools are mentioned above, but most
successful sport psychologists will analyze each individual to determine their learning style. The
latest and most effective psychology used in sports today is neuro-linguistic programming (NPL).
NPL categorize each individual’s learning style whether it’s visual learning, auditory (hearing)
learning, or kinesthetic (hands on or emotional) learning. For example, if you learn from hearing,
you would benefit from imagining in your mind the sound of the crowd cheering your name after
you have won a competition. The emotional experience you receive from imagining the sound of
the crowd cheering your name is then enhanced by using NLP techniques, also you will be taught to
recall this emotion at will while in competition to motivate yourself to perform at a higher level.

Definition of terms
Football:
Association football, soccer, or simply football is a team sport played between two teams
each consisting of eleven players. It is a ball game played on a rectangular grass (sometimes
artificial turf) field with a goal at each and. The object of the game is to score by maneuvering the

PSYCHOLOGY:
In order to understand where we are going, it sometimes helps to take a look at where we have
been. While psychology is a relatively young discipline, it has a rich and colorful history. With
iconic figures like Sigmund Frieud and B.F. Skinner, studying the history of psychology provides
an intriguing glimpse into the minds of some of the preeminent thinkers of the past century.
AGGRESSION:
In psychology, the term aggression refers to a range of behaviors that can result in both physical
and psychological harm to oneself, other or objects in the environment. The expression of
aggression can occur in a number of ways, including verbally, mentally and physically.

University students is U.S.A. Attitudes were assessed through the attitude towards physical activity
inventory developed by Kenyon (1968), while physical activity behavior was assumed by the use of
a scale developed by ZoichKowsky (1979). Datawas collected on the physical activity belief of
subject by a scale development by the researcher. Data was analyzed through the use of univariate
and multivariate statistical procedures. Results depicted that there was no relationship among
attitudes, physical activity behavior and physical activity belief of subjects. However, there were
some relationship between some specific attitudes and physical activity behavior and physical
activity belief. Subjects also chose individual physical activities and dual and team activities.

any differences between Americans and Jordanians in their reasons for participating in and
dropping out of youth sport programmers. The second purpose was to examine factors in
achievement motives that might discriminate from Americans extrinsic/intrinsic motivation and
achievement goals. The most important reasons that Americans had for sports participation were
liking to have fun, liking to improve skills and liking to learn new skills. For Jordanians liking the
team spirit, liking to be popular and liking to travel were the most important reasons for
participation. Both Americans and Jordanian drop outs listed emphasis on winning and losing and

Analyses revealed that boy’s participation and interest in high contact sports and girls
participation in medium contact sports (the highest level of contact sport experience they
reported) were positively correlated with less mature moral reasoning and greater tendencies
to aggress. Regression analyses demonstrated that sport interest predicted reasoning maturity

A comparative study of adjustment and aggression of inter university football and handball
players.
Introducing students to activities like bowling, walking/hiking, or Frisbee at an early age can
help students develop good activity habits that will carry over into adulthood. Some teachers
have even begun to incorporate stress-reduction techniques such as yoga and deep-breathing.
Teaching non-traditional sports to students may also provide the necessary motivation for
students to increase their activity, and can help students learn about different cultures. For
example, while teaching a unit about lacrosse (in, say, Arizona, USA), students can also learn a
little bit about the native American cultures of the northeast and eastern Canada, where lacrosse
integrate academic concepts from other subjects as well (social studies from the example above),
which may now be required of many P.E. teachers. There are four aspects of P.E. which is
physical, mental, social, and emotional. Psychology is the science of mind and behavior. Its
immediate goal is to understand behavior and mental processes by researching and establishing
both general principles and specific cases. For many practitioners, one goal of applied
scientist. Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and
social behavior, while also exploring the physiological and neurobiological processes that
especially in abnormal psychology and also in social psychology. In our daily life there has been
a continuous struggle between the needs of the individual and the external forces, since time
successfully to the demands of living survived and multiplied while who did not died. Therefore
adaptation or changing of if one self or one’s surrounding according to the demands of external
environment became the basic need for our survival. It is as true today with all of us as it was
with Darwin’s primitive species. In psychology, as well as other social and behavioral sciences,
aggression (also called combativeness) refers to behavior between members of the same species
that is intended to cause pain or harm. Predatory behavior between members of one species

Introduction
However valid, reliable and adequate the data may be, it does not serve any useful purpose
After the data been collected, it was processed and tabulated using Microsoft Excel-2013
software and SPSS V.21.0.1 Software. The data collected on aggression from Football and
Handball players Inter-University level. The aim of the study is to “A STUDY AMONG
LEVEL”. Then the data were analyzed with reference to the objectives and hypotheses by using
unpaired ‘t’ test with respect to aggression. The statistical significance was set at 5% level of
significance (p<0.05) and the results obtained thereby have been interpreted.
Hypothesis:
To achieve this hypothesis, the t-test was applied and the results are presented in the
following table.
Table 2: Results of t-test between Football and Handball with respect to Aggression scores.
From the results of the above table, we clearly seen that, a significant difference was not observed
between Football and Handball with respect to Aggression scores (t=.055, p<0.05) at 0.05% level of
significance. Hence, the null hypothesis is accepted and alternative hypothesis is rejected. It means
that, the Football have significant higher Aggression scores (mean=23.6250) than Handball
(mean=20.8750). The mean and SD scores of Aggression is also presented in the following figure 1.

SUMMARY
The purpose of the study was to find out the Aggression level of Inter-University Football
In order the achieve the purpose of the study 80 selected men Football and Handball players only.
To assess the level of Aggression inventory question was used and the data were collected from
subjects.
Then the data was analyzed with reference to the objectives and hypotheses by using
independent t-test to find out the difference between Football and Handball by using SPSS V:
21.0.1 statistical software and the results obtained thereby have been interpreted.
DISCUSSION:
Football & Handball are similar games with one is having played with foot from one is
having played with hand. The rules are also similar. But the area of playing is different. Handball is
played in small area so lot of contact has been expected between played in large area so not of free
area is there to move. Although in this study significant difference not occurred between football &
Handball game players because these games are not popular in these sides accept few areas players
