An Evaluative Study of Aggressive Behavior Levels Among Futsal Students

Abstract

The importance of this research stems from the fact that aggressive behavior is a psychological factor affecting the performance of futsal students, especially given the fast-paced nature of the game, the small size of the field, and the frequent direct contact between students. This increases the likelihood of aggressive behavior emerging during lessons, training, and competition. The research problem arose from observing varying levels of aggressive behavior among first-year futsal students and the need to evaluate and diagnose this variable. This will provide scientific indicators that contribute to developing psychological and educational programs that promote positive sports behavior and reduce aggressive behavior. This research aimed to evaluate the level of aggressive behavior among first-year futsal students and to establish standardized scores and levels that can be used to assess this variable. To achieve the research objectives, the researcher used a descriptive survey methodology. The research sample consisted of 100 first-year students from the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences during the 2025-2026 academic year, selected randomly. Appropriate statistical methods were used to analyze the data.

The results showed that the mean score for aggressive behavior was 38.18, with a standard deviation of 2.84. The highest percentage of the sample (79%) exhibited moderate levels of aggressive behavior, followed by low levels (14%), and then high levels (7%). The researcher concluded that aggressive behavior among futsal students is concentrated at the moderate level and recommended conducting periodic assessments of this variable and incorporating psychological and educational programs to reduce aggressive behavior and promote positive sportsmanship.
