Abstract Details

2017, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Communication.
This online longitudinal multi-wave study investigated impacts of sports spectatorship on students of two college football powerhouses — The Ohio State University and the University of Alabama. Specifically, the study looked at changes of self-esteem, mood, university affiliation and university football team affiliation with data collection occurring before and after watching football games. The study found some significant effects on self-esteem, mood, university affiliation and university football team affiliation at the university levels for individual waves but not overall. During this study, there was an on-campus incident at one university that may have affected these results.
