Abstract

Sports impart teamwork, perseverance, and healthy competition through athletic participation. However, unsportsmanlike conduct among athletes, coaches, and spectators undermines the values of sports. This study aimed to determine the significant relationship between the levels of aggression and sportsmanship. This study used a descriptive-correlation type of research method. The data were collected among Football and Basketball athletes of the Mindanao State University–Main Campus University Intramural Games using a standardized questionnaire on levels of aggression and sportsmanship. The data was treated utilizing Pearson Product Moment Correlation or Pearson r to measure the significant relationship among the variables. Findings showed that most respondents were aged 21-23. Also, the majority of the aggression level was low and fair, while most of the respondents’ level of sportsmanship was average. Further, the study showed that the levels of aggression revealed no significant relationship to sportsmanship. This implies that the level of aggression is not a factor to consider when determining the sportsmanship behavior of an individual, particularly among athletes in the university intramural games.
