Abstract

Non-ethical conduct during sports is as common as physical education activities. Awareness of potential behavior during physical education and factors affecting it isvital, because it may contribute towards improving students' proper training. The purpose of this study was to rate conduct in physical education settings, examining possible impact of educational level and gender on such patterns and their relation to unfair play in sports activities. This study included 724 physical education students (326 male and 398 female) in junior (n = 266) and senior (n = 458) secondary school. The study examined the effect of educational level and gender on perceived behavior patterns in physical education settings and their relationship with unfair play in sport activities. Results showed gender and educational level differences in the way participants' perceived students' moral conduct. Further, significant relationships were found among unfair play and perceived conduct.
