Abstract

The results of a review on the effects of choleric aggression in sports with physical contact are presented. This research was based on eight articles from four databases (PsycInfo, Ebsco, Proquest, Elsevier) and three journals (Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology, Perceptual and Motor Skills, and Revista de Psicología del Deporte), published between 1995 and 2007. The review showed that few conceptual models study the relation between choleric and sport performance. Statistical results in this review showed that, partially, and not definitely choleric aggression enhances performance in sports with physical contact (50% of studies), nevertheless, the other 50% of studies reported no benefit from this emotion on performance. The split conclusions about the relevance of choleric aggression, based on the empirical evidence analysis in a small portion of the literature should not preclude the study of this relation. Methodological measures are suggested to research on this issue.
