| Abstract | ||
| The purpose of this study was to examine anger as a state and as a trait of some individual combat sports players (Karate, Judo, Taekwondo, Fencing.) and its relationship to sport orientation (competitiveness – win orientation – goal orientation ). One hundred and forty, 35 players from each sport, from teams throughout Sharqia, Egypt, participated in the study. The players’ ages ranged from 15-18 years, and their competitive experience ranged from 2-5 years. The State Trait Anger Inventory (Spielberger, London) and The Sport Orientation Questionnaire (SOQ) were used. Data analysis showed significant direct correlation relationships between trait anger and sport orientation dimensions and between state anger and win and goal orientation of all the combat sports players in general. Significant differences were also found between players characterized by trait anger in all the sport orientation dimensions. There are also significant differences between the players who are characterized by state anger in win orientation. | ||
