Abstract
The aim of the present study was to conduct a comparative analysis of aggression between team game handball and
basketball interuniversity players. A total of one hundred (n=100) male and female athletes were selected as the sample for this
study. The sample was further divided into two equal groups: 50 Handball players and 50 Basketball players. The data was
collected using the simple random sampling technique, and the age of the participants ranged from 18 to 27 years. To assess the
levels of aggression among handball and basketball interuniversity players, the Buss & Perry (1992) Aggression Questionnaire
was employed. The collected data were tabulated and subjected to statistical analysis. Descriptive analysis was performed by
computing means, standard deviations, and an independent samples t-test. The results revealed that no statistically significant
difference was found in the overall aggression levels between handball and basketball players. The findings suggest that despite
differences in physical contact levels and rule structures between the two sports, the expression of aggression among athletes
remains comparable.
