    • Abstract:
      The article presents a study which examines the fear of failure and experience in sport as predictors of antisocial behavior in sport settings and education. It notes that the findings of the study reveal that individuals with high fear of failure often use more aggressive behavior as a coping mechanism to alleviate the fear they experience. It was also found out that sport experience is not a strong predictor of antisocial behavior among men and women.
