| The purpose of this study is to identify goal orientation and instrumental aggression tendencies among handball players participating in the MSSP Kinta Dua District tournament. In this study, the following aspects were examined; goal orientation, individuals that influence instrumental aggression and situations perceived to influence the athletes’ likelihood to aggress. The ‘Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire’ (TEOSQ) by Duda and Nicholls(1991) was used as the research instrument, together with the ‘Judgement About Moral Behaviour in Youth Sport Questionnaire (JAMBYSQ) by Stephens, Bredemeier & Shields(1993). A total of 166 athletes (85 males and 81 females) from the teams participating in the quarter finals of the district level handball tournament were taken as research samples. The results reveal that athletes’ participation in the MSSP Kinta Dua District handball tournament was task-oriented. There was a significant difference between the task orientation of male and female athletes, while for ego orientation, no significant difference was found. It was also discovered that the athletes have the tendency to use instrumental aggression that was influenced by their teachers or coaches. The situations that influence the male athletes to aggress is the ‘draw score’ situation, while the female athletes will use instrumental aggression in situations that ‘arouse their spirits’ |
