Abstract

The purpose of this research was to test if the ways sport fans felt while supporting their favourite teams – both in terms of typical feelings and changes in feelings over time – were associated with different combinations of harmonious passion (HP) and obsessive passion (OP) for being a sports fan. We conducted two studies in which fans reported how they typically felt while watching their favourite teams (Study 1, N = 430), and how they were feeling at three time points throughout an 8-month season (Study 2, N = 418). The results showed that the most adaptive fan outcomes (i.e., low negative feelings, high positive feelings and enjoyment) were associated with high HP combined with low OP. In contrast, the least adaptive fan outcomes (i.e., high negative feelings, low positive feelings and enjoyment) were associated with low HP combined with high OP. These results help us understand more about how the feelings of sports fans are shaped by combinations of HP and OP.

热衷于体育运动的球迷有何感受？采用四方方法进行研究

本研究的目的是测试体育迷在支持自己喜爱的球队时的感受--包括典型感受和随时间变化的感受--是否与作为体育迷的和谐激情（HP）和痴迷激情（OP）的不同组合有关。我们进行了两项研究，让球迷报告他们在观看自己喜爱的球队时的典型感受（研究 1，人数 = 430），以及他们在为期 8 个月的赛季中的三个时间点的感受（研究 2，人数 = 418）。结果表明，适应性最强的球迷结果（即消极情绪低、积极情绪高和享受）与高HP和低OP相关。相反，适应性最差的粉丝结果（即负面情绪高、积极情绪低和享受感低）与低 HP 和高 OP 相关联。这些结果有助于我们进一步了解体育迷的感受是如何通过 HP 和 OP 的组合而形成的。

期刊介绍： Motivation and Emotion publishes articles on human motivational and emotional phenomena that make theoretical advances by linking empirical findings to underlying processes. Submissions should focus on key problems in motivation and emotion, and, if using non-human participants, should contribute to theories concerning human behavior. Articles should be explanatory rather than merely descriptive, providing the data necessary to understand the origins of motivation and emotion, to explicate why, how, and under what conditions motivational and emotional states change, and to document that these processes are important to human functioning.A range of methodological approaches are welcome, with methodological rigor as the key criterion. Manuscripts that rely exclusively on self-report data are appropriate, but published articles tend to be those that rely on objective measures (e.g., behavioral observations, psychophysiological responses, reaction times, brain activity, and performance or achievement indicators) either singly or combination with self-report data.The journal generally does not publish scale development and validation articles. However, it is open to articles that focus on the post-validation contribution that a new measure can make. Scale development and validation work therefore may be submitted if it is used as a necessary prerequisite to follow-up studies that demonstrate the importance of the new scale in making a theoretical advance.
