摘要：AbstractThis study aims to highlight the need for fair-play among sportsmen and women in society, during trainings and competitions, and how their attitudes and behaviours reveal the presence of fair play. My working hypothesis is that sportsmen and women's varies depending on their level of training, the type of sports that they practice and their level of qualification. The group on which I conducted my research is made up of sportsmen and women who practice the following sports: athletics, football, handball, rugby, volley. Data analysis and interpretation was done using SPSS 11.0 for Windows, a special software for psychological statistics. The research methods aim to prove the relevance of fair-play in high performance sports achievements and for an appropriate conduct in society. In order to investigate sportsmen and women's opinions and attitudes in society and in competitions we designed and used a questionnaire to test fair-play, a questionnaire to test sportsmen and women's “moral values” and a questionnaire for sportsmen and women's “behavior self-determination”. The results of the questionnaire showed that sportsmen and women who practice individual spots have lower scores for fair-play in competitions and social conduct in comparison with practitioners of team sports.ConclusionsFrom a qualitative point of view one can argue that the lack of statistically significant differences between our study groups could be due to the fact that fair-play has the same importance for all sportsmen and women. Data analysis and result interpretation confirmed our working hypothesis.
