Description

The current investigation examined the state social psychological health (i.e., social life satisfaction and loneliness) of individuals while they attended a sporting event and while they were at their place of residence. Based on the Team Identification--Social Psychological Health Model (Wann, 2006), it was hypothesized that the participants (who as a group were highly identified with one of the teams in competition) would report more positive levels of well-being at the game relative to their residence. Data collected from 53 individuals tested at a collegiate basketball game and then again three to six weeks later at their residence confirmed expectations. **********
