Abstract(s)
A presente investigação centra-se na expressão da agressividade nos adeptos de futebol, procurar explorar as diferenças nos níveis de agressividade basal entre indivíduos pertencentes a claques e não pertencentes, bem como analisar de que forma os diferentes contextos de visionamento, casa, cafés/bares e estádio, podem influenciar essa expressão. A investigação procurou, assim, contribuir para um melhor entendimento dos fatores individuais, sociais e situacionais que influenciam os comportamentos agressivos associados ao fenómeno do futebol, um cenário onde a emoção coletiva interage com elementos identitários e contextuais. A amostra incluiu 210 participantes, maioritariamente homens, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 59 anos. Os dados forma recolhidos por meio da aplicação de um questionário sociodemográfico e de um instrumento padronizado de avaliação da agressividade, designadamente Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire. Os participantes foram também categorizados segundo a tipologia de classes sociais de Goldthorpe, permitindo uma análise mais detalhada da diversidade socioeconómica e do perfil profissional dos adeptos. Os resultados revelaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os indivíduos pertencentes a claques e os não pertencentes, com os primeiros a apresentarem níveis mais elevados de agressividade, sobretudo ao nível da agressão física e raiva. Com isto, reforça-se a ideia de que o fator de pertença a claque pode atuar como potenciador da expressão da agressividade. No que diz respeito aos contextos de visionamento, foi registada uma associação significativa entre os contextos em que os jogos são assistidos e os níveis de agressividade reportados. Participantes que demonstraram tendência em assistir aos jogos em cafés ou bares apresentaram valores mais elevados de agressividade do que aqueles que assistem os jogos em casa. Assim, considera-se que o ambiente social, nomeadamente os espaços públicos podem estimular a propensão a comportamentos agressivos. Embora o visionamento em estádios não tenha revelado níveis significativamente mais altos do que em cafés/bares, apresentou níveis mais elevados do que o visionamento em casa. A análise das correlações indicou ainda que determinadas variáveis sociodemográficas, como o sexo, também podem influenciar a expressão da agressividade, sendo os homens a demonstrar valores mais elevados em quase todas as dimensões avaliadas. Em suma, os dados sugerem que tanto a pertença a claques como o local de visionamento dos jogos são fatores relevantes na expressão da agressividade entre adeptos. Estes resultados apontam para a importância do desenvolvimento de estratégias de intervenção ajustadas a diferentes realidades contextuais e grupais, promovendo uma vivência mais segura e saudável do desporto.
This study focuses on the expression of aggressiveness among football fans, aiming to explore differences in baseline aggression levels between individuals who are members of supporters' groups (claques) and those who are not. It also examines how different viewing contexts—such as watching at home, in cafés/bars, or at the stadium—can influence that expression. The research aims to contribute to a better understanding of the individual, social, and situational factors that influence aggressive behavior in the context of football, a setting where collective emotion interacts with identity and environmental elements.The sample consisted of 210 participants, mostly male, aged between 18 and 59 years. Data were collected through a sociodemographic questionnaire and a standardized aggression assessment instrument, specifically the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire. Participants were also categorized according to Goldthorpe’s social class typology, allowing for a more detailed analysis of the socioeconomic and occupational profile of fans.The results revealed statistically significant differences between members and non-members of supporters’ groups, with the former showing higher levels of aggression, particularly in physical aggression and anger. These findings support the notion that group membership may act as a catalyst for the expression of aggressiveness.Regarding viewing contexts, a significant association was found between the setting in which matches are watched and reported aggression levels. Participants who regularly watched games in cafés or bars showed higher levels of aggression compared to those who watched at home. This suggests that public and socially charged environments may increase the propensity for aggressive behavior. Although watching games at the stadium did not result in significantly higher aggression than cafés/bars, it still showed higher levels than home viewing.Correlation analyses also indicated that certain sociodemographic variables, such as gender, may influence the expression of aggressiveness, with men reporting higher scores across most assessed dimensions.In summary, the data suggest that both supporters’ group membership and viewing location are relevant factors in the expression of aggression among football fans. These findings highlight the importance of developing targeted intervention strategies adapted to different group and situational realities, promoting safer and healthier experiences in sports contexts.
