Abstract

This paper presents a study of the disruptive behaviors in children and adolescents and its relationship with the systematic practice of physical activity and sport. In addition, the influence of the type of sport in the manifestation of antisocial participant’s responses is analyzed. The main instrument of the study has been the Dissocial Factor of the questionnaire for the detection of disruptive behavior in children and adolescents (Cuestionario para la Detección de los Trastornos del Comportamiento en Niños y Adolescentes–ESPERI). 525 minors composed the sample. Among the results it is highlighted that children and adolescents regularly involved in sport practice present a smaller number of dissocial behaviors than those who do not practice any sport. Furthermore, the sport modality constitutes an important factor that influences the internalization of social response patterns; in this respect, individual modalities present-generate a lower number of dysocial responses than team sports.
