Description
Sport scientists have shown an increased interest in the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of sport fans in recent years (Wann, Melnick, Russell, & Pease, 2001). For instance, investigators have facilitated our understanding of attendance decisions (Williamson, Zhang, Pease, & Gaa, 2003; Zhang, Smith, Pease, & Lam, 1998), coping strategies (Wann & Grieve, 2008; Wann, Grieve, Waddill, & Martin, 2008), psychological well-being (Wann, 2006b), and motivation of sport fans (Funk, Mahony, & Ridinger, 2002; Wann, Grieve, Zapalac, & Pease, 2008; Wann, Schrader, & Wilson, 1999). However, perhaps the greatest advances have come in our understanding of the role of team identification in fan attitudes and behaviors. Team identification concerns the extent to which a fan feels a psychological connection to a team (Wann & Branscombe, 1993), that is, the extent to which the fan believes that the role of team follower is a central component of his or her social identity. A number of researchers have examined the causes and consequences of sport team identification.
