Systematic review of the literature about moral in the sport context
Abstract
This study aims to investigate sports orientation as a factor of influence in the moral development in athletes associated with their quest for autonomy and emancipation. This is a Systematic Review of the literature on morality in the sports context, including studies from 1982 to 2015. A total of 113 studies were evaluated and presented following indications of three sections: a) methodological characteristics of the studies; b) variables associated with morality; and c) main theoretical supports. This research presents new findings on the variables that are related to the moral in the sport context and the search for autonomy and emancipation throughout its athletic formation. With these results, it is hoped to contribute to the training process of athletes in the Brazilian context, being a source of information for professionals in psychology and other areas on how to make sport a factor contributing to human development from the beginning of their practice, whether in childhood, adolescence or in professional athletes.References
