In this study, 160 pupils (79 boys and 81 girl) of the fourth grade of elementary schools in Bijeljina were questioned. The obtained and processed data show: City pupils (boys especially) have a more elaborate, more completely formed attitude than the village pupils regarding the questions of competitive atmosphere and at attractiveness (level of being interesting) of collective sports in the physical education classes. More of the city pupils, than those from villages, think that sport is a bridge between people, that sport strengthens friendly relationships between people, but that without moral and material assistance of the parents and of the whole society an individual or a collective cannot achieve significant successes in sport. A far greater number of boys (than girls), in the city and in the villages also, read sports texts in newspapers and magazines, which is explained by the fact that sport at that age is much more interesting to boys than to girls. Generally, male pupils in the city have a more positive attitude towards sport and sports journalism than pupils (male and also female) in the villages.
