Aggression is a bad personality characteristic that has been linked to involvement in sports. Depending on the sport, the demands placed on the athlete, and other factors, aggression and violent conduct can occasionally cross the line into unethical territory in athletics and at other times be an integral part of it. Different behaviors that are considered to be aggressive all have the same goal in mind: to cause the opponent pain or harm. Researchers from all around the world have carried out numerous studies, yet there are still problems in the gray zones. This study aimed to compare football and chess players' levels of aggression. A technique called quota sampling was used to choose the individuals. The Buss-Perry Aggressiveness Questionnaire (BAQ) (1992), which consists of 29 items evaluating four attributes—physical aggression, verbal aggression, hostility, and anger—was used to quantify aggression. Players of chess and football were compared for aggression using an independent sample 't' test.
