Resumen:
Sumario:The aim of the study was to identify instruments used to assess the aggressiveness of sports fans and describe their operational and psychometric characteristics. A systematic literature review was carried out, following PRISMA guidelines, in the BVS, PsycINFO, PubMed/MedLine, Science Direct, Scopus and Web of Science databases, using the Boolean descriptors and operators: scale OR test OR inventory OR questionnaire AND aggression OR violence OR aggressiveness AND spectators OR fans. 198 studies were found and, after exclusion criteria, 15 remained. In these studies, 11 instruments were identified. These instruments showed differences in theoretical bases, number and content of dimensions, administration method and type of response. In order to verify the robustness of the instruments, the psychometric evidences were scored. The findings of the present review showed the lack of specific instruments to assess the aggressiveness of fans, which can help researchers in the potential creation of measures for this purpose.
