Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify the positive social behavior aspects among the practitioners of collective/team and individual sports activities in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The study also opts to identify the succession of the components of positive social behavior among the players of collective teams and individual games. The study is conducted on a sample of 100 males and 100 females, and the sample subjects are distributed according to the nature of the game practice, whether individual or team games. Dr. Tawfiq Abdel-Moneim has developed a list of positive social behavior that is used as the research testing tool. The list consists of five variables: openness, participation, optimism, positive impact, and tolerance. The results show that there is a slight difference in the order of the variables of positive behavior, with the participation of the players of the team games in the lead while the individual game practitioners lead the optimism variable. In addition, there are no significant differences between the two male samples from the collective and individual game practitioners according to the positive social behavior variables. However, there are statistically significant differences at level )0.1( among the individual games subjects who are higher in the variables of tolerance, openness, and positive effectiveness, and at the level )0.5( in participation.
