Assertive behaviour
What many people call examples of good aggression (aggressively driving a golf ball or killing a shot in volleyball) are labelled assertive behaviours. Assertive behaviour is playing within the rules with high intensity, high arousal, without intention to do harm.

When is aggression acceptable?
In 1975, an ice hockey player attacked an opponent with thebutt of his stick. When the player went down bleeding, he grabbed his hair and repeatedly hit his head on the ice. Hewas suspended for 10 games (about 2 weeks). In court he wasnot convicted because “fighting is an accepted part of thegame, and so players must assume the risk of being injured inthis way”.Ice hockey players have been fined for refusing to fight!!!
In basketball Rudy Tomjanovich’s career was ended by an on-court assault. He was awarded $3.3 million in damages.In 1997 Latrell Sprewell punched his coach. He was banned by the NBA for 1 year and sacked by the club.

Can we identify aggressive people?People high in trait anger are more likely to become
highlyaroused and angry when they are losing than those
low in trait anger
People who have a previously watched or had aggressive
behaviour positively reinforced are more likely to be aggressive than people where aggression was
negatively reinforced

How can we eliminate aggression? Negative reinforcement from the media.Positive reinforcement of skilful, non-aggressive
players (e.g. fair play awards).Psychological support and guidance.Professional officiating (as in the NFL).Clear differentiation of aggression and
assertiveness.Severe punishments for aggressive behaviour.Governing bodies and law courts should punish
offenders.Society (esp. schools) should highlight non-
aggressive moralsTeach athletes to control aggressive tendencies
(relaxation, thought stopping etc.)
