Abstract

The study examined prosocial behaviour and the perception of fair play in the context of physical education and sport (PES) in adolescents participating in sports, and those not undertaking sports at all. The aim of this study was to explore and indicate potential associations between an understanding of the concept of fair play and selected behaviours (e.g., abiding by the rules, obeying decisions of the referee and sportsmanship) in youth. In total, 1257 secondary school students, aged 16.1 ± 0.87 years (627 girls and 600 boys), were recruited. For assessing the level of fair play awareness (L), the Fair Play Moral Dimensions Concept Scale (FPMDCS) was used. To measure the declared level of prosocial behaviours of students, the survey My Physical Education Class (MPEC) was used. Participants were divided into groups in relation to training experience (no sports, amateur sports, professional sports) and subgroups, with levels according to their understanding of the Fair Play concept (L 1 to L 3 ). The results show significant difference in all dilemmas in various groups in relation to scores in subgroup L 3 ( p = 0.056; p = 0.012; p = 0.003) with regard to subgroups L 2 and L 1 in the level of understanding fair play. Overall, the percentage of respondents who view fair play only in the context of sport (L 1 ) is 69%. Far fewer are those (31%) who understand it more broadly as a principle that applies to everyday life situations (L 3 ). It seems to be crucial to promote moral development during PES activities, especially the value of respect.
