“…This idea is consistent with previous studies which have applied social identity theory to explain sports fans' identification with their team, noting a range of antecedent motivations and psychological, physiological and sociological outcomes (Greenwood et al, 2006;Katz & Heere, 2013;Lock & Funk, 2016;Spaaij & Anderson, 2010;Tyler, 2013;Wann, 2006). Specifically, team identification has been associated with a need for geographically, ethnically and socially defined community groups to come together in times of adversity (Inoue, Funk, Wann, Yoshida, & Nakazawa, 2015), to express their national pride and cultural identity (Bernache-Assollant, Bouchet, Auvergne, & Lacassagne, 2011), providing psychological relief from feelings of depression and alienation, whilst promoting feelings of belonging and self-worth (Branscombe & Wann, 1991).…”

Research question: Spectating at sports events comprises on-pitch and off-pitch benefits. Value may also derive from spectator-to-spectator interaction, however, we do not know whether all types of interaction have similar effects on value creation and subsequent wordof-mouth behaviours. We investigate two types of spectator-to-spectator interactionbetween known/familiar others, and between unknown others. We study their effects within a framework grounded in Customer Dominant Logic and Sport Value Framework, integrating on-pitch sport performance, off-pitch service quality, overall satisfaction, team identification and word-of-mouth intention. Research methods: Hypotheses were tested using a survey of 1,002 spectators of a British Premier League football club. Respondents were asked about the last game they attended. Data was analysed using Structural Equations Modelling and PROCESS analysis. Results and Findings: Customer-to-customer interaction was antecedent to overall satisfaction and team identification. Satisfaction and team identification led to word-ofmouth intention, with team identification having greater effect. Evaluation of on-pitch performance (the football match) influenced overall satisfaction more than off-pitch service quality. The study contributes to knowledge in finding that customer-to-customer interaction with familiar accompaniers influenced satisfaction more than interaction with anonymous-other spectators. However, the latter contributed more to team identification and indirectly to word-of-mouth. Implications: The study highlights the importance to sports events organisers of facilitating customer-to-customer interaction. While promotion of many sports events focuses on game performance, this study highlights the importance of promoting the social benefits of attendance in increasing positive word-of-mouth. Suggestions are made, including provision of social media platforms within events to promote interaction among spectators.

“…In sum, the SIA posits that group identification increases the availability and quality of emotional support from in-group members. In line with this proposition, evidence indicates that developing a high level of team identification can facilitate the exchange of helping behaviors among fans of the team and increase the perceived quality of emotional support (Inoue, Funk, Wann, Yoshida, & Nakazawa, 2015;Inoue, Sato, Filo, Du, & Funk, 2017;Levine, Prosser, Evans, & Reicher, 2005). Importantly, the effect of team identification on perceived emotional support may exist regardless of whether or not a person attends games (Inoue et al, 2017;Wann et al, 2008).…”

Objective:We investigate how (a) attendance at sport games and (b) identification with a sport team as fans (i.e., supporters of the team) influence older adults' perceptions of emotional support, belonging and subjective well-being (SWB). Methods: An experimental pilot study was conducted with 50 older adults, followed by a main survey study administered to 534 older adults from various communities across the United States. Results: Pilot study results indicated that game attendance and team identification had a positive and significant influence on older adults' perceptions of emotional support from fellow team fans. These results were replicated in the main study, which also showed that older adults' perceived emotional support from fellow fans was positively associated with their sense of belonging which predicted their SWB.

“…First, people could increase their subjective well-being by Spectatorship and Life Satisfaction 4 behaviorally engaging in sport events as spectators (Pawlowski et al, 2014). Second, people could maintain and enhance their well-being by psychologically engaging in sport events through social identification with teams competing in the events (Inoue, Funk, Wann, Yoshida, & Nakazawa, 2015).…”

“…Regarding the psychological pathway, the relationship between team identification (i.e., social identification with a sport team) and subjective well-being can be predicted based on social identity theory (SIT; Tajfel & Turner, 1979). Research has shown that team identification is associated with social well-being, a collective and public evaluation of life functioning measured by collective self-esteem, social life satisfaction, or community cohesion (Inoue, Funk, et al, 2015). However, evidence of the positive relationship between team identification and Spectatorship and Life Satisfaction 5 subjective well-being-a more personal and private evaluation of one's own life (Keyes & Lopez, 2001)-is inconclusive, with a review of empirical studies suggesting that team identification could have an adverse effect (Inoue, Berg, & Chelladurai, 2015;Vallerand et al, 2008).…”

Elite and professional sport events have been recognized as potential mechanisms to enhance well-being. This multicountry study investigates how engagement in such events, behaviorally through live spectating and psychologically through team identification, is associated with life satisfaction. Data from Australia (N = 268) revealed a positive association between live spectating and life satisfaction through a two-wave design measuring live spectating and life satisfaction in separate surveys. Data from the United States (N = 564) confirmed the live spectating–life satisfaction relationship found in Study 1. Additionally, Study 2 revealed individuals with higher levels of team identification perceived greater emotional support from other fans, and this perception, in turn, predicted life satisfaction. Our findings provide sport managers with implications for positioning appeals in support of sport programs and designing events that facilitate engagement to promote life satisfaction in the community.
