Abstract

This study conducts a comparative analysis of badminton players across multiple competitive tiers to explore their psychological attributes within the domain of physical education. The primary objective is to elucidate the psychological profiles of badminton players at national, inter-university, state, and inter-collegiate levels. One of the focal variables under scrutiny is sports aggression. Rigorous statistical methodologies were employed by the researchers to ensure the robustness of the findings. The initial step involved conducting a normality test, utilizing the Shapiro-Wilk test, to assess whether the data met the assumptions requisite for parametric analysis. Subsequently, descriptive statistics were utilized to present the mean and standard deviation of the collected data once the normal distribution was confirmed for all variables. Inferential statistics, specifically a One-Way ANOVA test, were then employed to examine significant differences between player groups. The observed disparities in aggression shed light on the diverse experiences encountered by players at different stages of their athletic careers. The results reveal a significant distinction observed among players at various levels on the Sports Aggression Inventory. Consequently, the null hypothesis was rejected at the 0.05 significance level. These findings hold implications for trainers, coaches, and sports psychologists involved in the realm of badminton, while also contributing to the understanding of psychological dimensions in sports.
