GONZALEZ-GARCIA, Higinio  y  PELEGRIN, Antonia. Numerous families and anger in athletes and physical activity practitioners. Acción psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.15, n.1, pp.71-86.  Epub 24-Jul-2023. ISSN 2255-1271.  https://dx.doi.org/10.5944/ap.15.1.21467.

The objectives were: (a) To know the differences in anger in athletes and physical activity practitioners raised in large and non-numerous families; (b) Check the differences in anger in athletes raised in large families and not numerous; (c) Know the differences in anger in athletes raised in large families and not numerous with national successes. The sample consisted of 442 athletes and physical activity practitioners. To measure the different variables were used, the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI-II) and the Oviedo Scale of Infrequency of Response (INF-OV). The results showed significant differences in trait anger, temperament, internal anger expression and anger expression index. When the group of athletes was analysed separately, excluding the physical activity practitioners’ group, the results showed significant differences in trait anger, temperament, external anger expression and anger expression index. On the other hand, athletes with national successes showed significant differences in anger reaction. It was concluded that athletes and physical activity practitioners grown up in large families have lower levels of anger than those of non-numerous families. Therefore, the number of siblings must be considered as a risk variable in athletes who have high levels of this emotion.
