Recent research suggests that the number of winners wearing red were greater than those wearing blue in a competitive context. Red is viewed as the color of arousal; blue is viewed as the color of calmness. In view of this, the present study investigated whether wearing red or blue influenced the wearers ’aggression in the context of sports. In the experiment, 56 participants were randomly assigned to a red condition, a blue condition, or a control condition. In the control condition, participants wore gray sweat suit. All participants completed a questionnaire that assessed their aggression in an imagined same-sex boxing match. Then, all participants were asked to hit a punching bag for 45 seconds. The number and strength of these punches were other measures of aggression. Results revealed that wearing red did not affect wearers ’aggression. On the other hand, wearing blue decreased wearers ’evaluation of their aggression, but not the number and strength of their punches. The implications of these findings regarding wearing different colors are discussed.
