This study partially replicated a former one showing a relationship between aggression and performance among hockey players. With certain penalties used as a measure of aggression, two groups of male college ice hockey players were compared for differences in goals and assists. Those rated high in aggression scored significantly more goals than those low in aggression. The direction of differences in assists was the same but did not reach significance. When the same groups were compared for shots on goals, significant differences were found, favoring the high aggressive group. This findings was discussed in light of energy output and efficiency. Attempts to relate performance and personality measures were not successful when comparisons on a self-report measure of anger were analyzed.
本研究部分重复了之前一项表明曲棍球运动员攻击行为与表现之间存在关联的研究。以某些处罚作为攻击行为的衡量标准，对两组男性大学冰球运动员的进球数和助攻数差异进行了比较。攻击行为得分高的球员比得分低的球员进球数显著更多。助攻数的差异方向相同，但未达到显著水平。当对同一组球员的射门次数进行比较时，发现了显著差异，高攻击行为组占优。根据能量输出和效率对这一发现进行了讨论。在分析基于愤怒的自我报告测量结果进行比较时，将表现与人格测量相关联的尝试未获成功。
