Abstract	The aim of the present study was to examine whether demographic characteristics and perceptions regarding sport-ability and sport-league affect one's moral competence. A total of 685 athletes from five different sports participated in the study. The moral competence test was used, in order to assess players' moral competence. Also, players' sport-related perceptions and demographic data were reported. The ANOVAs revealed that athletes of individual sports and sports with no and/or low physical contact scored significantly higher in moral competence compared to team sport athletes who compete in high-contact sports. Moreover, players' age, education, sport experience and perceived sport ability were found to play a significant role in moral development, while their level of competition, and gender did not have a significant effect on their morality. Overall, results demonstrated that several demographic characteristics and sport-related perceptions should be taken into account when interpreting ones' moral profile. (Autor).
