aggression was used to scale the aggressiveness.
The test consists of ten questions with five levels of
responses. The level changes from strongly
disagree to strongly agree. The respondents were

suited their attitude. The inventory was scored
with the help of the scoring key given below. The
range of the score was from 10 to 50. The higher
the score, the more aggressive the player is.
