Most of aggression studies in sport context were conducted by questionnaires or interview, in contrast, this study was conducted by ERP to observe the behavioral data and psychological changes in the athletes’ attacking behavior. Purpose: To investigate the differences of aggressive and neurophysiological responses in different physical contact type athletes by obtaining the aggressive scores of hostile, proactive and reactive items in Taylor aggression task and Decision Related Negativity (DRN) and Feedback-Related Negativity (FRN) from ERP. Methods: A total of 32 participants were enrolled in the study consisting of 12 Taekwando athletes from opened group (Age mean = 19.67+1.37 years) for the physical contact group, 9 tennis and badminton players from opened group (Age mean = 19.67+1.22 years) for the non-physical contact group, and 11 university students who had no exercise habit (Age mean = 22.18+1.25 years) as the control group. Each of participants filled out the Big Five Mini Markers, Aggressive and Angry contest scales, Anger Rumination Scale then followed by Taylor aggression paradigm task and EEG at the same time. Results: First, there were no significant differences on three scales among groups. Second, the behavioral data from the Taylor Aggression Task has shown that the non-physical contact group had higher aggressive scores of hostile, proactive and reactive responses than control group. Third, the ERN dada has revealed that at the decision making stage there was DRN shown (presented) in all of three groups, and at the outcome stage the FRN amplitude in the control group was significant higher than the other two groups but only at the most (highly) aggressive context. Conclusion: In the competitive context in order to win the athletes had shown more aggressive action, especially shown on the non-physical contact athlete. Through the sports training athletes usually faced the challenges with calm and positive emotion but the control group without sport training experiences had much higher negative emotion when faced the challenging task.
