Abstract
With the global popularity of sport, and especially football, it is no wonder there is a large number of sports fans and supporters all over the world. Although the situation with violence on football bleachers is not like it once used to be in England, football fans in Croatia also have a bad reputation. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship among the group norms, self-esteem and aggression on the example of the members of the football fan group from Zagreb called Bad Blue Boys (BBB). The survey was conducted on 345 members of the BBB and for that purpose two instruments were designed: The Scale of the Fans' Aggressive Behaviour and The Scale of Subjective Group Norms. In addition to these, two other scales were used: The Revised Collective Self-Esteem Scale and The Self Liking/SelfCompetence Scale. The results show that the combination of group norms and self-esteem explains 23.8% of the variance of verbal aggression and 7.9% of the variance of physical aggression. While collective self-esteem is a significant predictor of both verbal and physical aggressive behavior, descriptive norms are more important in explaining the verbal, and prescriptive norms in explaining the physical aggressiveness.
