Sports scientists
increasingly recognize that performance outcomes are influenced not only by
physical fitness but also by an individual’s psychological makeup and
sociological profile. This highlights the importance of socio-psychological
dimensions in athletic performance. Aronson (1977) [1] defined aggression
as behavior intended to cause harm or pain, emphasizing the element of intent.
This study aimed to analyze aggression differentials among champion and
non-champion boxers and male and female boxers. A total of 280 boxers
participating in inter-college competitions in northern India were selected
through random sampling. Aggression levels were measured using the Aggression
Scale developed by Roma Pal and Tasneem Naquavi (1980) [4], with a
reliability and validity coefficient of 0.78 each.
