Description
Summary:Teams from the 10 provinces, the Yukon, and Northwest Territories competing in the annual Canada Winter Games served as subjects ( N = 203) in an investigation of the relationships of conservatism, birth order, and leadership to aggression. C-Scale scores were negatively related to coaching staffs' ratings of players' aggression though unrelated to two behavioral measures. Birth order was unrelated to aggression but later borns were more conservative and of lesser stature than firstborns. Conservatism bore no relationship to leadership although leaders were less aggressive in their play than teammates.
