<![CDATA[The purpose of this study is to investigate the differences in anger levels between athletes engaged in team game sports and those involved in martial arts. This research employs a quantitative approach using a causal-comparative method to explore emotional differences based on the type of sport. The population consists of athletes who participated in the 2018 West Java Provincial Sports Week (Porda). A purposive sampling technique was applied to select a total of 60 athletes, with 30 athletes representing team game sports (18 volleyball players and 12 basketball players) and 30 athletes from martial arts disciplines (18 karate practitioners and 12 taekwondo practitioners). Data were collected using the Sport Emotion Questionnaire (SEQ), which is designed to measure emotional responses in a competitive sports setting. The results reveal a significant difference in anger levels between the two groups. Specifically, martial arts athletes reported higher levels of anger compared to their counterparts in team sports. This finding suggests that the nature of individual competition and direct physical confrontation in martial arts may contribute to heightened emotional arousal, particularly anger. Meanwhile, athletes in team sports, who rely more on collective strategies and communication, may experience anger differently. These insights highlight the importance of emotional regulation strategies tailored to the specific demands of each sport.]]>
