Aggression -> behaviour that harms another human being/intentional/outside the laws or rules of the game or activity
Hostile aggression
- intention to harm outside the rules
- often an emotional response to another performer/situation
- sole purpose being to cause hurt/injury
Instrumental aggression
- intends to harm as a means to another goal
- e.g. rugby tackle with great force with intention of making them fear you, primary motivation is to put them out of the game
Channelled aggression
- positive form of aggression
- when a performer is able to divert aggressive feelings into useful, positive actions i.e. working harder/better to concentrate
Assertive behaviour -> behaviour that involves the use of physical force but is within the rules/ethics of a sport and is therefore acceptable
