“…Participation in sports and engagement in physical activities improve life satisfaction by fulfilling people's basic psychological needs such as competence, autonomy, and relatedness, which in turn promote life satisfaction (Ryan and Deci, 2001;Funk et al, 2011a;Sato et al, 2016b). Similarly, recent studies have demonstrated that good sport event experiences may have positive effects on not only spectators' behavioral responses but also their overall assessment of physical and mental health (Funk et al, 2011a;Sato et al, 2014Sato et al, , 2017Du et al, 2015;Inoue et al, 2015Inoue et al, , 2017Baker et al, 2018;Hyun and Jordan, 2020). In other words, attendance at sport events might provide a context where people could obtain psychological benefits such as enjoyment and selfesteem and support personal development and learning, which in turn contribute to people's life satisfaction (Iwasaki, 2007;Inoue et al, 2017).…”
