SPORTS PRACTICES AND VIOLENCE AMONG YOUNG MOROCCANS FROM DIFFERENT SOCIAL CLASSES: A SOCIOCULTURAL PERSPECTIVE

The practice of sport is certainly characterised by a desire to go beyond ones abilities in order to achieve a good performance. Within this framework, we can often witness intense interactions that could easily tip over into different forms of violence. This sociological study is part of this context, and its aim is to focus on the impact of social representations on violence in sport. The aim of our research is, on the one hand, to identify the types of violence in relation to the properties of each sport and, on the other hand, to study the impact of the groups to which one belongs (socio-cultural aspect) on the construction of social representations in relation to the practice of competitive sport and, more specifically, violent behaviour. Three competitive sports were chosen: tennis, judo and football. social. The selected population consisted of 113 young amateur athletes, 15 parents and 06 coaches. We opted for a mixed approach to our research methodology, using both questionnaire and interview techniques. Analysis of the quantitative data showed that each sport was dominated by a particular social category. In football, 75% of participants belonged to a disadvantaged social class. Judo seems to attract young people from an average social category (62%), whereas in tennis 69% of participants belong to a privileged social class. The second observation concerns the distribution of the typology of violence, which seems to follow the logic of a socio-cultural distribution in terms of social class.体育运动的实践本质上以突破自身能力、追求优异表现为核心特征。在此框架下，赛场中时常出现高强度互动，这类互动极易演变为各类形式的暴力行为。 本项社会学研究正是立足于此背景展开，旨在探究社会表征（social representations）对体育运动中暴力行为的影响。 本研究的核心目标分为两部分：其一，结合各项体育运动的自身特性，识别其所对应的暴力行为类型；其二，研究个体所属群体的社会文化属性，对竞技体育实践（尤其是暴力行为）相关的社会表征构建过程的影响。 本研究选取了三项竞技体育运动：网球、柔道与足球。 本次研究的受访对象共计134人，其中包括113名青年业余运动员、15名家长以及6名教练员。 本研究采用混合研究方法，结合问卷调查与访谈两种数据采集技术。 定量数据分析结果显示，每项体育运动的参与者均集中于特定的社会阶层范畴：在足球项目中，75%的参与者来自社会弱势阶层；柔道项目的参与者则多来自社会中间阶层（占比62%）；而网球项目中，69%的参与者属于社会优势阶层。 第二项观测结果聚焦于暴力行为类型的分布特征，其分布逻辑似乎与社会阶层的社会文化分布规律相契合。
