Sport team emotion: Conceptualization, scale development and validation
The purpose of this study was to identify key emotions associated with professional sport team brands and to develop a valid, reliable scale to measure the recall of these emotions. A pool of 30 potential emotions was drawn through a content analysis, a qualitative study (n = 67), frequency analysis (n = 560), and categorization process. The identified emotions were subjected to an exploratory factor analysis (n = 260) and confirmatory factor analysis (n = 286). The emotion recall scale consists of 24 emotions representing 7 dimensions: connectedness, elation, competitiveness, surprise, anger, unhappiness, and worry. The authors offer evidence of internal consistency of the scale and convergent, discriminant, and criterion validity evidence. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
This report provides a summary of a workshop on forecasting in travel behavior research. The scope of the workshop focused on the examination of predictive models from experimental and operational perspectives. Three key issues on complexity, measurability, and transferability over time were given as the guiding directions for discussion.
