Redefining the Role of Team Performance in the Team Identification-Social Psychological Health Model

Abstract Details

2014, Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.), Xavier University, Psychology.
Research supports that identification with a sports team and team proximity are related to social psychological well-being. Team performance also influences fans' self-esteem and affect. The current study explored the impact of team performance in addition to team proximity and team identification on fans' social psychological well-being and affect. A total of 160 undergraduate participants completed measures of team identification, social psychological well-being, and affect prior to the start of the 2013 NFL regular season. Seventy-eight participants completed the measures again at the conclusion of the season. Contrary to previous research, fans of distant and local teams scored similarly on the measures of social psychological well-being regardless of degree of team identification. Team performance interacted with team identification on fans' affect but not social psychological well-being. Findings warrant replication and potential reconsideration of the theorized ubiquity of the relationship between team identification and social psychological well-being.
