Abstrak

The research aims to build a scale of negative emotional behavior for some players in the Iraqi Premier League football using the descriptive approach. The exploratory study was conducted on a sample of ( 22 ) players, and the main study was conducted on a sample of ( 98 ) players who represented their clubs in competitions. The researcher used appropriate statistics suitable for the nature of the research, and ( 5 ) axes were identified (loss of concentration - physical stress - negative emotional arousal - severe anxiety - psychological tension) as they are the basic pillars of the negative emotional behavior variable. The researcher concluded that there is a relationship between the axes of negative emotional behavior and the questions posed for each axis and the dimension to which the phrase belongs. We recommend applying these axes to know the negative emotional behavior of the Premier League players, as well as studying other axes that may cause this negative behavior towards the players, while emphasizing the role of the psychological specialist supervisor in limiting this phenomenon that has begun to expand in the Premier League football.
