• Observed Prosocial and Antisocial Behaviors in Male Soccer Teams: Age Differences across Adolescence and the Role of Motivational Variables (2006, background): “In the sport domain, perceptions of performance climate corresponded to low levels of moral functioning among a small sample of adult male basketball players (Kavussanu, 1997).”
• Moral behaviour in sport: a critical review of the literature (2008, background): “…player and pushing another player when the referees are not looking, and asked players to report how often they engaged in these behaviours (e.g., Kavussanu & Roberts, 2001; Kavussanu, Roberts, & Ntoumanis, 2002; Kavussanu & Spray, 2006; Miller, Roberts, & Ommundsen, 2005; Ommundsen, Roberts,…”
• Contextual influences on moral functioning of college basketball players. (2002, background): “Finally, Kavussanu and Roberts (2001) reported that among female intercollegiate basketball players, high ego orientation corresponded to lower levels of moral functioning, greater approval of unsportsmanlike behaviors, and the judgment that certain intentionally injurious sport acts are legitimate.”
• Social psychology of exercise and sport (2005, background): “An ego orientation has been shown to be significantly and positively related to other-referenced and motivationally maladaptive outcomes such as cognitive and somatic anxiety (Newton and Duda 1995), indices of moral functioning in sport such as moral judgement, intentions, and behaviour (Kavussanu a”

• Achievement Goal Theory at the Crossroads: Old Controversies, Current Challenges, and New Directions (2011, unknown): “…several field studies show that youth and adult athletes who pursue performance goals tend to consider rule-breaking (e.g., fouls, deceiving the referee) and poor sportsmanship to be acceptable under some conditions (Kavussanu & Roberts, 2001; Sage & Kavussanu, 2007b; Sage, Kavussanu, & Duda, 2006).”
• High school athletes’ perspectives on support, communication, negotiation and life skill development (2009, background): “This finding could be in part attributed to the fact that males in sport tend to be more ego-oriented and slightly more supportive of performance-oriented climates (Kavussanu and Roberts, 2001; Miller et al., 2004).”
