“…Linder and Kerr (2001) established that social pressure can serve as an impetus for individuals to participate. Recours, Souville, and Griffet (2004) also identified socialization with a like-minded community through sport participation to be a significant factor in motivating an individual to participate in a given event.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore factors affecting participant awareness, attraction, and attachment to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s (NMSS) MS 150 PGA Tour Cycle to the Shore charitable bike ride utilizing the Psychological Continuum Model (PCM) developed by Funk and James. In addition, the authors sought to outline variables sport organizations can use to predict donor behavior. Design/methodology/approach – Data for this project were derived from an electronic survey distributed to race participants and was analyzed in SPSS® software. Regression analysis was employed. Findings – The findings support previous research employing the PCM; wherein social situational variables have the greatest influence on the relational significance of hedonic and dispositional needs in attraction and attachment to sporting events. The work supports the inclusion of communities as an additional attachment outcome. Practical implications – In all, 92 percent of riders were informed about the event through word of mouth (WOM) marketing, highlighting the importance this promotional technique in the awareness stage of the PCM. NMSS would be well served by capitalizing on the power of WOM. Originality/value – The research provides insight into predictors of fundraising efficacy. In terms of fundraising effectiveness, participants with four or more years of participation were six times more likely than first-year riders to raise $1,000 or more.

They used four factors: competition, exhibitionism, sociability and playing to the limit, which had been previously validated in the literature.…”

The purpose of this current study was to examine if the Participant Motivations Questionnaire (PMQ) (Gill et al., 1983) was still valid for action sports participants. This study also examined factorial invariance of motivational factors of action sports participation across genders. In other words, the study wanted to test the motivational factors of action sports participation assumed to underlie the motivational factors independently for the male and female college students. Based on the results of Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), the PMQ motivational factors of action sports participation do fit both male and female college students. The results of the multiple t-tests showed that female college action sports participants had higher motivation levels for achievement (p < 0.001), miscellaneous reasons (p < 0.01), skills development (p < 0.01), friendships (p < 0.01) and fun (p < 0.01).Keywords: action sports: action sports participatory fandom: participant motivations: multiple group confirmatory factor analysis.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Park, S.R. and Lee, S.

“…"While many activities outside of sport can, and do, fulfill mental well-being, social, and personal needs, sport is a unique and valuable outlet for needs which often go unfulfilled" (McDonald et al, 2002, p. 111). Researchers commonly identified competition (e.g., Kilpatrick et al, 2005), socialization (e.g., Recours et al, 2004), skill development (e.g., Tsorbatzoudis et al, 2006), enjoyment (e.g., Allender et al, 2006), weight management , and health pressures (e.g., Kilpatrick et al, 2005), as motives of participation. Most importantly, researchers found intrinsic motivations more commonly cited by participants than extrinsic motives (e.g., Kilpatrick et al, 2005;Recours et al, 2004;Tsorbatzoudis et al, 2006).…”
