Abstract	The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between sports participation and self-reported violent, delinquent, and aggressive behaviors in rural high school populations. Three-hundred and thirty-eight athletes and non-athletes from four rural high schools completed the YRBSS and the Conflict Behavior Scale (CBS). The results indicated that: (a) males demonstrated similar violent and delinquent behaviors to other urban and suburban populations, (b) male non-athletes reported significantly more assaults, trouble at school, drinking while driving, trouble with the police, and marijuana use than male athletes, and (c) female athletes reported significantly less and male athletes reported significantly more aggressive behaviors than their non-athlete counterparts on the CBS. These data illustrate that violent, delinquent, and aggressive behaviors do exist in rural populations, but that sports participation does not necessarily influence higher rates of these behaviors.
