Data from: Motivation and moral attributes in sport

This research’s aim was to analyze the relation between self-determined
motivation, sportspersonship and athletic aggression in volleyball
players. Participated on this study 54 athletes between adults and youths
from both genders. As measure instruments were used: Sport Motivation
Scale (1995), Multidimensional Sportspersonship Orientations Scale (1997)
and Bredemeier’s Athletic Aggression Inventory (1985). The data collection
was performed during training. For the data analysis the Mann-Whitney
test, Spearman correlation and Cronbach’s Alpha were used. The data
evidenced that overall selfdetermined motivation was found to be a
favorable factor in relation to a positive attitude towards sport’s social
conventions, rules and judges influencing on the worry and compromise with
the opponent, being able to interfere over the tendency to behave
aggressively.
