This research aims to explore and describe the average rates obtained from the assessment of four dimensions of attitudes: Commitment, Convention, Cheating and Gamesmanship. Accordingly, a sample of 219 children and young athletes, from apprentices of collective sporting modalities of both sexes and ages ranging from 13 to 16 years, said the “Inventário de Atitudes para a Tomada de Decisão Moral no Esporte Juvenil” (IATDMEJ-23). It was found that, in the male sex, the dimensions Commitment and Gamesmanship (indissolubles) are the dimensions that appear in first place, followed by the dimensions Cheating and Convention (indissolubles). In the female sex, the attitudes dimensions Convention and Commitment (indissolubles) of moral decision making appear in first place, followed by dimension Gamesmanship in second place and, at last, Cheating. In comparison between sexes, the dimensions Gamesmanship and Cheating are more latents in the male sex and, the dimension Convention, in the female sex. Further studies are suggested in individual sporting modalities controlling differents variables.
