Effect of physical activity on physical self-concept and violent behaviour: An empirical study
Abstract
This study aimed to determine and compare different sociodemographic and psychosocial variables, such as violent behaviour and physical self-concept in order to find answers to this problem. A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out on a total of 321 students (69.8% female and 30.2 male) from different Education Degrees at the University of Granada. The instruments used included an ad hoc questionnaire and several standardized questionnaires to assess psychosocial variables: the Self-Concept Form 5 (AF-5), the Violent Behaviour at School scale, and the Attitudes towards Physical Activity and Sport scale (E.A.F.D.). Regarding the level of physical activity, the highest score was for practical activity, and regarding violent behaviors, the highest values were recorded for relational aggression. As for the relationship between sex and the other variables, men have a higher physical self-concept than women (p<0.05), while the opposite was true for emotional self-concept (p<0.05). Men exhibited greater aggression than women (p<0.05), and regarding the perception of their own emotions, the use and regulation of emotions was similar, although more pronounced among men than women. Regarding physical self-concept in relation to violent behaviors, it was found that those with higher levels of violence also had a worse physical self-concept (p<0.05). In conclusion, increased physical activity leads to greater control of negative emotions (violence) and also a better self-perception.
