- Abstract
This document is an editorial titled "Spectator sport and fan behavior: a sequel" published in Frontiers in Psychology. The editorial explores the relationship between spectator sports and fan behavior, examining the psychology, sociology, and anthropology that shape this connection. It discusses how spectator sports foster a sense of identity and community among diverse groups of people, and how fans emotionally invest in their chosen teams. The editorial also acknowledges that while spectator sports can create a sense of camaraderie, there are instances of aggressive or unruly behavior among fans. The document concludes by highlighting the need for further research in areas such as psychological motivations behind fan behavior, social dynamics within fan communities, and the impact of technology on fan engagement.
