TY - JOUR PY - 2009// TI - Comparisons of rates and forms of aggression among members of men's and women's collegiate recreational flag football teams JO - Journal of prevention and intervention in the community A1 - Warden, Katherine B.

SP - 209 EP - 215 VL - 37 IS - 3 N2 - The purpose of this study was to compare rates and forms of aggression among members of men's and women's recreational flag football teams during loosely supervised recreational periods on a college campus. We obtained data on forms of aggression using an event recording system. The data supported the hypothesis that overall rates of aggression were higher among male teams. It turned out that the frequency of the three forms of aggression that we observed across men's and women's teams had the same rank order, but that the relative proportions of the three forms of aggression were quite different. The implications of these findings for future research on aggression and on the supervision of recreational teams are discussed.
