From the Paper:

"One study looked at the differences in same sex soccer teams and coed soccer teams. ?The purpose of the present study was to replicate and extend Stephens and Bredemeier (1996) in two ways. First, in addition to participants in an all-girls soccer league, a sample of male and female soccer players in a coeducational league was utilized. Second, based on research linking experience in higher contact sports with lower levels of moral reasoning in sport (Bredemeier et al., 1987), age and level of contact/collision sport experience were added as a potential predictors of likelihood to aggress."
