This study examined antisocial and prosocial behavior of N = 439 adolescent athletes between 14 and 17 years of age (67 teams). Multilevel analyses showed that team membership explained 20% and 13% of the variance in antisocial and prosocial behavior in the sports context, respectively.

A trend was found towards a relation between higher levels of moral reasoning within teams and less antisocial behavior in the sports context.
