Abstract des Autors
The goal of this paper was to study, within sport area, the relationships between national identification and competitive behaviors. Social identity theory stated that social competition and intolerance toward the out-group can be used to deal with an insecure identity. The organization of tennis competitions with/without national risk (Davis Cup/individual competition) allowed to test the effect of a national identification context and league standing, as a threat to social identity, on competitive behaviors. An archival method (1990-1996) of collected results showed that competitiveness increases when tennis players' national identity is threatened by the opponent's superior league standing. Results are discussed according to the archival method used to explain behaviors in natural settings. Verf.-Referat
