Abstract
The sample involved 718 healthy males aged 19 to 27 with a proportion of subjects not engaged in any sport and those who were engaged in the sports typical of more than 0.5% of Yugoslav population of this age and sex. Five scales were used to assess the attitudes toward self-management, clero-nationalism, autoritarianism, conformity and social hostility.
The only discriminative function significant on the level of error type I of o.o was defined by the low values on the scales of hostility and autoritarianism, but also by the negative attitudes toward the value of the socialist self-management.
The greatest positive values on this dimension involved volleyball, automobilism, water-polo and athletics, whereas the negative values were attached to boxing, judo, bicycling, table tennis, skiing and football. However, due to relatively low canonic correlation (0.35) and a small number of entities in some sports, these results must be regarded with extreme caution and verified in further investigations. But, without any doubt it may be said that those engaged in various sports differ in socially extremely undesirable construction of attitudes and that it is high time someone re-examined the socialization influence of the coach and others responsible for the upbringing of youth systematically engaged in sport
