The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between life aggression and sport aggression among athletes.

Results show that there was no significant difference of life aggression between male and female athletes (p>.05). However, there is a significant difference of life aggression between contact and non-contact sport (p<.05). Results also show that there was a significant difference of sport aggression between male and female athletes (p<.05), contact and non-contact sport (p<.05). Pearson Correlation showed that there was a moderate and positive correlation between life aggression and sport aggression (r=.46) among athletes.
