“…Of these themes, our review of recent sport management studies as reported in Table 2 revealed that an increasing number of the studies have addressed the themes of the psychological impact of sport spectatorship. In contrast, there is a lack of research to specifically investigate the social psychological benefits of sport spectatorship-a research theme rated as the most important by the respondents of this consultation exercise-with only two studies (Collins & Heere, 2018;Oja, Wear, & Clopton, 2018) identified by our review addressing this theme.…”

A growing number of studies have been published to understand how spectator sport may influence the health of a population. However, it is unknown if these studies address research questions relevant to professionals engaging in the promotion of spectator sport. We conducted a web-based survey with 136 practitioners employed in U.S. college athletics to identify their research priorities and needs regarding spectator sport's influence on population health. The combination of qualitative and quantitative analyses show that future research needs to be focused particularly on one of the following research themes: (a) social psychological benefits of sport spectatorship and (b) psychological impact of sport spectatorship. The findings further suggest the integration of environmental well-being and eudaimonic well-being into the domain of population health. Based on these findings, we propose future research directions as informed and guided by the practitioners' perspectives.

“…In spite of the severe criticism expressed towards sport, participants indicated that their interest and willingness to participate, spectate or volunteer in sport remains entirely unchanged due to the expected results that their engagement with sport entails, with the perceived severity of incidents of lack of integrity having similarly no impact. As a result, and despite participants' emphasised mistrust towards it, sport's ability to deliver social outcomes that is cited in academia and Government policy appears to be considered possible (HM Government, 2015;Schulenkorf et al, 2016;Collins and Heere, 2018). Nevertheless, since this possibility was examined in this study through participants' intended future engagement with sport, additional research is needed in order for the actual future engagement with sport through participation, volunteering and spectatorship to be examined, allowing us a better view on the possibility of sport to still deliver social outcomes unaffected, despite the emphasised mistrust towards it.…”

“…It is widely argued that sport plays an important role in creating the cultures and identities of our communities (Houlihan and Malcolm, 2015), reducing inequalities (Collins and Kay, 2003) and developing social capital (Elmose-Østerlund and van der Roest, 2017; Kumar, Manoli, Hodgkinson and Downward, 2018). Indeed, there is a plethora of research advocating for sport as a mechanism for social and community development.…”

“…Indeed, there is a plethora of research advocating for sport as a mechanism for social and community development. For example, engagement, participation, voluntary involvement and spectatorship have been found to foster social inclusion and cohesion (Coleman, 1988;Arai and Pedlar, 2003;Lockstone-Binney, Holmes, Smith and Baum, 2010;Collins and Heere, 2018). As a result it is argued that individuals within a community will collaborate for their mutual benefit and that of society to behave with integrity and have high moral attitudes (Hooghe and Stolle, 2003).…”

Perceptions of integrity in sport: insights into people’s relationship with sport

Supported by a wealth of research, current UK Government policy emphasises the important role of sport in delivering social outcomes. What is not considered in the current policy and academia are the logically plausible adverse associations that would follow when sport is shown to lack integrity, an increasing phenomenon nowadays. If sport is found to lack integrity, then does this alter people's perceptions and their relationship with it? In this study,we aim to answer this question by examining people's views on the lack of integrity in sport and their propensity to participate, volunteer and spectate sport in the UK context. Data collected through 18 focus groups reveal a perceived 'normalisation' of the lack of integrity in sport and an overall belief that sport cannot manage its integrity. The findings suggest that paradoxically, even though sport is viewed as untrustworthy, people's propensity to participate, spectate and volunteer in sport remains unchanged. Consequently, even though sport is viewed as corrupt and unable to improve, its perceived role as a mechanism for social outcomes appears to remain unaffected, creating a potentially vicious circle in which sport has little to no pressing urgency or strong motivation to protect its integrity.

“…On the other hand, the members of these "fraternities" belong to worldwide global consumer society that oversteps the borders of separate national societies thanks to the technologies that serve the mediated society. As a result, bonding ties in social networks of the mediated society create new bridging ties and new reservoirs of global SC (Birendra et al 2018;Phua et al 2017); these reservoirs have been nourished by global symbols such as "football" (Behrens et al 2018;Collins -Heere 2018), "rock" (Eastman 2012), "Hollywood" (Mossig 2008), "hip-hop" (Clech 2016;Emdin -Lee 2012), "opera" (Kotnik 2016;Coons 2014), "Ikea" (Dodd 2017) etc. This list includes references to conflicting global communities that overstep the borders of national societies despite their conflicts.…”

Creative and Social Capital: Concepts, Problems and Contradictions

Creative and Social Capital: Concepts, Problems and Contradictions. The article deals with creative and social capital (SC) in the light of creative society. SC has both positive and negative aspects. The first are trust, economic development, ecological consciousness, etc. The latter are intolerance for certain individuals, stagnant relations, depression of the initiatives, etc. The negative aspects have been connected with the lack of creative aspirations within a social group. There is a dialectical relation between social and creative capital (CC). Although creative workers need certain support from their social environment, creativity does not only use social ties to spread creative results, but also ignores them by appealing to a new creative community. The comparison of SC and CC opens very different approaches towards society. In the case of SC, we still have the privileged classes who consolidate the whole society. Even in the case of the creative class we face the relics of (Post)Marxist economic approach if we correlate the activity of so called creative class with economic prosperity of a region. In the case of creative society, we have very different approach. If every person is more or less creative, we do not have the creative classes or parties as holders of CC any more. This (neo)liberal approach means also the dissemination of any form of capital, as well as elimination of attitude formed by economic priority in our societies.
