Özet:

The objective of this study is to examine the aggressive behaviors and proclivity of the students of Faculty of Sports Sciences of Selçuk University, studying at different departments. The study group is constituted by total 349 students, being 155 males and 194 females, studying at different departments of Faculty of Sports Sciences of Selçuk University. While the personal information form was used for the socio-demographic information, a 7-item likert-type Aggression Scale developed by Kiper (1984) was utilized to obtain the values of aggression. Following testing the homogeneousness and variances of the data, Independent Sample t Test was used in identifying the changes for the gender factor, One-Way Anova for multiple comparisons, and Tukey HSD test in determining the source of the difference. The Crombach Alpha value for this study was determined as 0,82. Statistical changes were observed in the aggression values depending on the gender and department factors (p<0.05). While no change was found in the destructive aggression category in view of the gender variable, it was determined that the average values of males were statistically higher than females in the categories of assertiveness, passivity, and overall aggression (p<0.05). It was found that the students of the coaching department have the highest average value in the entire aggression subcategories and that the changes are statistically significant (p<0.05). In the light of such findings, it is considered that the new functional model charged by the society on females and males will be effective in the changes found between the male and female students, along with the  socio-cultural structure, social status, and roles. In addition, the reason for the changes depending on the department factor among the students can be considered as the fact that they are made subject to different recruitment criteria and examinations when being placed into departments, in addition to the differences of their sportive fields where they are studying. It is a noteworthy result that the aggression scores of the coaching students is high despite the fact that they take more practice-based classes. Regardless of its cause and source, sense of aggression must be considered as a sense and behavior that must be brought under control without reaching a dimension that inflicts damage on persons and the society.
