Sport Fans: The Psychology and Social Impact of Fandom examines the affective, behavioral, and cognitive reactions of fans to better comprehend how sport impacts individual fans and society as a whole. Using up-to-date research and theory from multiple disciplines including psychology, sociology, marketing, history, and religious studies, this textbook provides a deeper understanding of topics such as: - the pervasiveness of sport fandom in society - common demographic and personality characteristics of fans - how fandom can provide a sense of belonging, of uniqueness, and of meaning in life - the process of becoming a sport fan - sport fan consumption - and the future of sport and the fan experience.

Sport Fans expertly combines a rigorous level of empirical research and theory in an engaging, accessible format, making this text the essential resource on sport fan behavior." --
