Full textAbstract:
Electronic sport or esport is a trend that involves playing competitive video games professionally. Traditional sports and esport have been compared to each other because of their similarities. Esport has grown in terms of viewership. Every year more spectators get interested and the number rises. One popular genre played in esports is MOBA. It stands for Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. Two teams face each other, and the goal is to destroy the enemy’s base with the help of their selected character, in-game mechanics and objectives. There are several focus points to highlight for the spectator. Hence, a dedicated spectator interface in the esports scene helps understand the progression of the game while watching. Developers might want to market their MOBA game into the esports scene, but it is hard to know what spectators want within the interface. This study investigates the major factors to consider when designing a spectator interface for a gaming genre; multiplayer online battle arena games (MOBA) in a competitive setting. The methods used to achieve the results were literature studies that include spectatorship, cognitive theories, and game interface theories. Analysing a popular MOBA game spectator interface and redesigned the interface of a game named League of Legends. Redesigns will go through an iterative process with the help of feedback, using questionnaires and interviews on the target group. Results discovered factors that could provide the spectator with a better viewing experience and contributed to producing a guideline for designers. The study concluded the guideline could help future work or contribute to previously established guidelines for general competitive games. However, further investigations are required to explore and validate the proposed guidelines in practice.<br>Elektronisk sport eller esport är en trend som handlar om att spela tävlingsinriktade videospel professionellt. Traditionella sporter och esport har ofta jämförts med varandra på grund av likheterna. Esport har vuxit enormt när det gäller tittarskap. Varje år blir fler åskådare intresserade och antalet stiger. En populär genre som spelas i esports heter MOBA. Det står för Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. Två lag möter varandra och målet är att förstöra fiendens bas med hjälp av spelmekanik och spelmål. Det finns flera fokuspunkter som ska visas för åskådaren. Därför används ett dedikerat åskådargränssnitt i esport-scenen för att hjälpa förstå spelets utveckling medan åskådaren tittar på. Utvecklare vill möjligtvis marknadsföra sitt MOBA-spel i esport-scenen, men det kan vara svårt att veta vad åskådarna vill ha inom gränssnittet. Denna studie undersöker de viktigaste faktorerna som ska beaktas när man utformar ett åskådargränssnitt för en spelgenre; flerspelarspel online (MOBA) i en tävlingsinriktad miljö. Metoderna för att uppnå resultaten var litteraturstudier som inkluderar åskådarskap, kognitiva teorier och spelgränssnittsteorier. Analys av ett populärt MOBA-spel åskådargränssnitt och redesignade gränssnittet för spelet som heter League of Legends. Det omformade gränssnittet kommer att gå igenom en iterativ process med hjälp av feedback med hjälp av frågeformulär och intervjuer på målgruppen.

Full textAbstract:
Wherever we go, marketing is all around us. Sport events are no exception. Sport events have during the last years become a platform and a communication tool for marketing companies. The major reason for the increasing attraction of sport games is because of its’ enormously attraction of audience. A company that uses sport games in order to market itself is usually a sponsor for a sport association or team. A sponsoring company is provided with the opportunity to associate itself with a team and/or a game. Sponsoring and non-sponsoring companies utilize the amount of audience to reach as many customers as possible. The sponsoring companies need to pay a sponsorship fee. The non-sponsoring companies free ride at the expense of the sponsors, by not paying any fees. The ambushing companies aim, is to draw the consumers’ attention away from the sponsors and onto themselves. The purpose of this research is to study the consumers’ acceptance regarding marketing from non-sponsoring companies in sport games. It is interesting to study a consumer perspective of ambush marketing since the research field is not very explored. A qualitative study with quantitative elements has been used in order to capture the consumers’ opinions. The method used resulted in comprehensive findings. The results show distinct differences within the quantitative and the qualitative findings. The conclusion of this research is that consumers somehow accept the free riding strategy. Consumers believe that they do not lack knowledge regarding sponsoring companies. However, the consumers may lack knowledge concerning the harm ambush marketing causes the sponsoring companies.

Full textAbstract:
This research interrogates South Korean women’s gender, ethnic and national identity construction revealed through sport spectacle. Two phases of the interviews were conducted for the research: focus group interviews during the 2004 Athens Olympics and individual interviews between March and April 2005, the period of the final qualifying stage for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Newspaper extracts on the Olympics and the football matches were presented in the interviews. The analysis of the women’s identity construction was contextualized in relation to South Korea’s socio-cultural, historical and political networks. Globalisation provides the overall framework for the research. Globalisation has dramatically transformed the way people construct their relations to themselves, others and their nation. The research explored how the interviewed women produced and reproduced the meanings and values of the sport events and sport games in search for a sense of security and certainty in the ever-shifting global context. Their struggles to ‘live’ in the new social milieu, a process of reterritorialisation, were also analysed. Moreover, the women’s relationships with North Korea were examined based on the concepts of the ethnic identity and also of the nation as a historical community with shared culture, tradition and history. Although infamously labeled internationally as part of the ‘axis of evil’, North Korea provided a source of ambiguous identity to the interviewees. The women’s perceptions of Japan, South Korea’s old enemy, were also investigated around the themes of postcolonial identities. In addition, the research demonstrated the women’s gendered perceptions of sportswomen and sportsmen and an idea of nationhood represented by them.

Full textAbstract:
THROUGH THE FIGURE OF FICTIONAL CHARACTER KATNISS EVERDEEN, THIS DISSERTATION STUDIES HOW THE FILM INDUSTRY SIMULTANEOUSLY ENTRENCHES AND DISRUPTS GENDER, SEXUAL, AND RACIAL NORMATIVITIES. THE PROJECT USES TEXTUAL ANALYSIS AND PARTICIPANT RESEARCH TO ANALYZE HOW THE FILMS AND NOVELS OF THE HUNGER GAMES SAGA ENCAPSULATE BOTH DOMINANT AND ALTERNATIVE CONCEPTIONS RELATED TO FEMININITY, MASCULINITY, WOMANHOOD, AND MOTHERHOOD. IT ALSO EXPLORES IF AND HOW THE FEMALE HEROINE CAN BE READ AS FEMINIST AND PRODUCES A SENSE OF EMPOWERMENT. I CONCLUDE THAT ALTHOUGH THE INDUSTRY IS PRODUCING NEW MODELS OF WOMANHOOD THAT CHALLENGE TRADITIONAL GENDER ROLES, IT STILL PERPETUATES ROMANTIC IDEALS AND IDEALIZES THE HETEROSEXUAL NUCLEAR FAMILY AS THE ULTIMATE PATH TO FULFILLMENT FOR WOMEN. THE RESULTS OF THE PARTICIPANT RESEARCH SHOW THAT WHILE YOUNG WOMEN ARE CRITICAL OF CERTAIN ASPECTS OF THE SAGA, OVERALL THEY VALUE HAVING STRONG FEMALE CHARACTERS IN FICTION TO WHOM THEY CAN RELATE.

Wilson, Shana M. "The Relationship between Superstitious Behaviors of Sports Fans, Team Identification, Team Location, and Game Outcome." TopSCHOLAR®, 2011. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/1056.
Full textAbstract:
The present study examined how a fan's desire to participate in superstitious behaviors depends on team identification, team location, and game outcome. The study is a 2 (team identification: high vs. low) x 2 (game outcome: close game vs. blowout) x 2 (location of team: local vs. distant) between subjects factorial design. Participants for the current study included 234 students, recruited from undergraduate psychology classes at Western Kentucky University. Participants completed the Sport Spectator Identification Scale, read a randomly assigned vignette differing in team location and game outcome, and filled out the Superstition Questionnaire to measure their desire to complete superstitious behaviors based on the vignette. They also filled out the Desirability of Control Scale, and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales to account for the possible covariates of desirability of control and anxiety level. An analysis of the covariates showed that there were no significant correlations between desirability of control or anxiety level and the desire to complete superstitious behaviors. Results indicated that highly identified fans reported wanting to perform more superstitious behaviors than low identified fans. However, no main effect was found for game outcome or team location, and there were no interactions. This finding reiterated the importance of team identification and its effects on the fan. The study also brought new variables to the table, game type and team type, that could be used in future research.

Full textAbstract:
Démarche d’accompagnement au spectacle vivant, l’école du spectateur incite à appréhender le théâtre comme une pratique artistique vivante à travers la représentation. Le travail proposé dans cette recherche envisage le spectateur dans son rapport à la langue étrangère dans l’expérience de la théâtralité. Il s’agit de comprendre comment la langue des apprenants se construit dans la confrontation avec les langages de la scène. Dans un premier temps, nous situons l’école du spectateur en tant que pratique de la théâtralité envisagée comme ce qui fait la spécificité de l’énonciation théâtrale, nous en définissons les enjeux pour un apprentissage de la langue étrangère. Notre cadre méthodologique confronte perspective interactionniste dans la réception collective des pièces, analyse du discours et de la gestuelle, notamment dans le jeu dramatique. Nos analyses montrent comment les apprenants s’approprient le spectacle en le co-reconstruisant dans les interactions et en s’appuyant sur une forme de mémoire collective. Nous envisageons ensuite le rôle des émotions et des perceptions dans la réception ainsi que dans la construction de langages pluriels, soulignant la relation esthétique qui s’instaure avec les spectacles. Nous analysons dans quelle mesure la subjectivité de l’apprenant se construit, notamment à travers les phénomènes d’identification. L’école du spectateur est enfin envisagée comme lieu d’exploration et d’expérimentation des langages dans le retravail créatif du texte scénique, travail qui fait émerger une troisième voix dans le croisement de différentes formes d’énonciation, créant des procédés d’interdiscursivité produits par la réception toujours active des spectacles<br>Considered as a tool to understand living performance, the school of the spectator encourages participants to apprehend drama as a living artistic practice through representation. This work considers the spectator in his or her relation to the foreign language through the experiment of theatricality. The targeted language of learners builds up through the confrontation with the languages of the stage. First, we define the school of the spectator as a practice of theatricality considered as the specificity of theater enunciation, the issues are then considered within the context of French as a foreign language acquisition. Our methodology confronts interactionist perspectives in the collective reception of plays, discourses and gestures analysis, in particular in dramatic play. The study demonstrates how the learners take ownership of the performance by co-rebuilding it through interactions and by leaning on a form of collective memory. We then examine the role of emotions and perceptions in the reception and construction of several languages, underlining the aesthetic relationship built between participants and the performances. We analyze how the subjectivity of learners grows, especially through the identification process. Finally, the school of the spectator is considered as a place for the exploration and experimentation of languages through the creative re-working of the scenic language. This practice allows a third voice to emerge in the crossing of various forms of enunciation, creating interdiscursivity processes produced by the always active reception of performances by spectators

Mo, Zhexun. "A Few Essays on the Political Economy of Inequalities in Africa and China." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris, EHESS, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024EHES0057.
Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse de doctorat s’inscrit dans mes intérêts de recherche générale à l’intersection de l’économie du développement, de l’économie politique et de l’histoire économique. Plus précisément, mon programme de recherche se concentre autour de deux axes principaux. D’une part, en numérisant des ensembles de données historiques à grande échelle, j’explore les vicissitudes à long terme des inégalités sous des formes multidimensionnelles en Afrique et en Asie de l’Est, en particulier leurs déterminants historiques (via l’avènement et la fin du colonialisme, la montée et la chute de différents régimes politiques, etc.) et leurs interactions à long terme avec le développement contemporain et les résultats de la croissance. D’autre part, j’adopte une perspective plus micro en concevant des expériences d’enquête transnationales pour comprendre comment les gens perçoivent subjectivement les inégalités et forment leurs préférences en matière de redistribution, en particulier dans les pays en développement où la forte présence d’institutions traditionnelles et des trajectoires de croissance uniques peuvent avoir façonné la vision des citoyens sur l’inégalité et le développement de manière différente, les idées tirées pouvant également éclairer les politiques pour un développement plus durable à long terme. Dans cette thèse de doctorat, je tente de répondre à ces questions en me concentrant sur les dimensions de recherche susmentionnées en quatre chapitres traversant les territoires de l’Afrique de l’Ouest et de l’Asie de l’Est. Dans le premier chapitre, j’examine les déterminants historiques de la conception des institutions coloniales françaises en Afrique de l’Ouest, En particulier, je me concentre sur l’un des épisodes de travail forcé les plus draconiens intégrés dans le système de conscription de l’époque, spécifiquement au Mali colonial où les réservistes militaires étaient exploités pour les travaux publics et la construction de chemins de fer. J’estime les répercussions à long terme du travail forcé colonial en collectant manuellement un énorme ensemble de données historiques sur les soldats coloniaux au Mali avec mes collègues qui recherchent sur le développement au Mali contemporain. Dans mes deuxième et troisième chapitres, je m’éloigne du colonialisme en Afrique de l’Ouest et me plonge dans l’étude des perceptions des inégalités et de la formation des préférences redistributives dans la Chine contemporaine. À travers deux expériences d’enquête consécutives avec mes co-auteurs,nous constatons que les attitudes des citoyens chinois envers les inégalités et les préférences pour la redistribution diffèrent significativement des idéaux occidentaux, et nous tentons de rationaliser cet ensemble unique de préférences avec l’expérience économique transitoire de la Chine et la faible agence politique de la population. Dans mon dernier chapitre, je retourne dans l’histoire de la Chine au 20e siècle et, avec mes coauteurs, nous estimons l’évolution à long terme de l’accumulation de la richesse nationale chinoise depuis la fondation de la République de Chine (1911) jusqu’en 2020. Nous trouvons des modèlestrès frappants en ce qui concerne la dynamique de l’accumulation de la richesse d’un pays ayant subi des trajectoires politiques et de développement drastiques au cours du siècle dernier, ce qui ouvre la voie à plus de dialogues pour comprendre la relation complexe entre inégalité et croissance en Chine et dans le monde en développement en général à l’avenir<br>This Ph.D. dissertation speaks to my general research interests at the intersections of development economics, political economy and economic history. Specifically, my research agenda centers around two main axes. On the one hand, by digitizing large-scale historical datasets, I explore the long-term vicissitudes of inequalities in multi-dimensional forms in both Africa and East Asia, in particular their historical determinants (via the advent and end of colonialism, the rise and fall of different political regimes, etc) and their long-run interactions with contemporary development and growth outcomes. On the other hand, I zoom in from a more micro perspective, by designing cross-country survey experiments, in order to understand how people subjectively perceive inequalities and form preferences for redistribution, especially in developing countries where the strong presence of traditional institutions and unique growth trajectories could have shaped citizens to view inequality and development in alternative manners and the insights from which could also inform policy-making for more sustainable development in the longer run. In this Ph.D. thesis, I attempt to answer these questions centering around the aforementioned research dimensions in four chapters, traversing the territories of West Africa and East Asia. In the first chapter, I examine the historical determinants over the design of French colonial institutions in West Africa. In particular, I zoom in on one of the most draconian forced labor episodes embedded in the conscription system at the time, specifically in colonial Mali where military reservists were exploited for public works and railway construction, and estimate the long-term developmental repercussions of colonial forced labor by hand-collecting an enormous historical dataset on colonial soldiers in Mali together with my colleagues researching on development in contemporary Mali. In my second and third chapters, I depart away from colonialism in West Africa, and dive into investigating inequality perceptions and the formation of redistributive preferences in contemporary China. Via two consecutive survey experiments with my co-authors, we find that Chinese citizens’ attitudes towards inequalities and preferences for redistribution differ significantly from the western ideals,and we attempt to rationalize this unique set of preferences with China’s transitional economic experience and low political agency of the population. In my final chapter, I go back into the history of China in the 20th century, and together with my co-authors, we estimate the long-run evolution of Chinese national wealth accumulation from the founding of the Republic of China (1911) till 2020. We find very striking patterns with regards to the dynamics of wealth accumulation of a country having undergone drastic political and development trajectories over the past century, which paves the way for more dialogues on understanding the intricate relationship between inequality and growth in China and the developing world at large in the future

Huang, Yuchen. "Meritocracy and Redistribution." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris, EHESS, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024EHES0022.
Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse de doctorat explore la relation entre la croyance en la méritocratie et la demande de redistribution, en mettant l’accent sur la Chine. Elle remet en question l’hypothèse courante de la littérature selon laquelle les résultats liés à l’effort sont considérés comme justes et ne nécessitent pas de redistribution, tandis que ceux liés aux circonstances et chances sont perçus comme injustes et justifient la redistribution.Dans le premier chapitre, à partir de données d’enquêtes internationales, je constate que de telles préférences se trouvent principalement dans les pays Occidentaux, Éduqués, Industrialisés, Riches et Démocratiques (WEIRD), en particulier les nations anglo-saxonnes et protestantes européennes. Une corrélation positive entre la croyance en le rôle de l’effort dans la réussite et la demande de redistribution est répandue dans les pays en dehors du monde développé occidental, où plus on croit que l’effort paye, plus on désire la redistribution. Le deuxième chapitre, co-écrit avec Yuqian Nora Chen et Zhexun Mo, présente une expérience d’enquête auprès d’un échantillon représentatif de chinois, où les répondants réduisent significativement leur demande de redistribution lorsqu’ils voient des exemples de personnes devenant riches par des moyens non forcément méritocratiques mais représentatifs de la période de transition du marché. Une enquête subsidiaire confirme que les répondants ne considèrent pas ces exemples comme des signes de capacité personnelle extraordinaire ou d’inefficacité gouvernementale. Nous concluons que ces exemples représentant les chanceux de la transition bénéficient d’une grande légitimité parmi les chinois pour deux raisons potentielles : l’équité relative par rapport à l’inégalité politique avant la réforme et l’intérêt personnel pour l’ensemble de la population à justifier le gain dans le processus de transition.Le troisième chapitre, co-écrit avec Margot Belguise et Zhexun Mo, discute l’une des raisons potentielles d’une telle préférence dans le cas de la Chine : une forte conformité au statu quo. Nous revisitons un résultat expérimental récent par Almås et al. (2021) où le peuple chinois semble ne pas faire la différence entre les inégalités basées sur le mérite et la chance. Nous proposons que ce phénomène pourrait être dû à une plus grande adhésion du public chinois au statu quo, ce qui conduit à une préférence apparemment faible pour la redistribution à la fois lorsque l’inégalité est due à l’effort et à la chance. Pour tester cette hypothèse, nous avons mené une expérience de redistribution incitative avec des étudiants d’universités d’élite en Chine et en France, en faisant varier la répartition initiale des gains entre deux travailleurs réels à redistribuer. Nous montrons que les répondants chinois choisissent de manière cohérente et significative plus de non-redistribution (en jouant le statu quo) dans les deux scénarios de statu quo très inégal et relativement égal que nos répondants français ; et que les répondants chinois qui s’éloignent du statu quo font la différence entre les inégalités basées sur le mérite et la chance. Notamment, nos résultats montrent que la conformité des individus chinois au statu quo est particulièrement prononcée chez ceux issus de familles de classe ouvrière et agricole, tandis qu’elle est remarquablement absente chez les individus dont les familles travaillent le secteur privé<br>This PhD dissertation studies the relationship between belief in meritocracy and demand for redistribution with survey and experimental data and with a particular focus on China. Specifically, the dissertation revisits a commonly used assumption in the literature which equates the differences in results due to effort or personal responsibility with fairness and un-redistributability, and those due to circumstances or luck with unfairness and demand for redistribution.In the first chapter I use cross-national survey data to explore whether the assumption of meritocratic preference hold across the world. I found that that such preferences these preferences are mainly, if not only, found in Western, Educated, Industrialised, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) countries, especially Anglo-Saxon and Protestant European natiions. A positive correlation between belief in the role of effort in success and demand for redistribution is widespread in countries outside of the western developed world, where the more one believes that effort pays off, the more he or she desires redistribution.The second chapter, co-authored with Yuqian Nora Chen and Zhexun Mo, is a survey experiment with a representative sample of China citizens which shows that the respondents significantly reduces their demand for redistribution when they see examples of people getting rich via non-meritocratic ways that are representative of the market transition period. A subsidiary survey further confirms that the respondents do not understand these examples as signs of personal ability or governmental inefficiency. We conclude that those examples representing the lucky few in the transition process enjoy a high legitimacy among the Chinese respondents for two potential reasons: relative fairness compared to pre-reform politically manufactured inequality and a self-interest motivation for the whole population to justify the gain in the transition process.The third chapter, co-authored with Margot Belguise and Zhexun Mo, discusses one of the potential reasons of such preference, at least in the case of China: a strong status quo conformity. We revisit a recent experimental result by Almås et al. (2021) where the Chinese people appear to not differentiate between merit- and luck-based inequalities. We propose that this phenomenon might be due to the Chinese public’s greater adherence towards the status quo which lead to a seemingly low preference for redistribution both when inequality is due to effort and due to luck. In order to test this hypothesis, we run an incentivized redistribution experiment with elite university students in China and France, by varying the initial split of payoffs between two real-life workers to redistribute from. We show that Chinese respondents consistently and significantly choose more non- redistribution (playing the status quo) across both highly unequal and relatively equal status quo scenarios than our French respondents; and that the Chinese respondents who move away from status quo do differentiate between merit- and luck-based inequalities. Notably, our findings show that Chinese individuals’ conformity to the status quo is particularly pronounced among those from families of working-class and farming backgrounds, while it is conspicuously absent among individuals whose families have closer ties to the private sector

Basketball is one of the favorite sports in Taiwan, but the audience numbers of basketball games are different between different games. Women basketball games in particular attract less attention. In order to develop a strategy of sports event development, understanding the consumer behavior of sports events is necessary. The purpose of this study is to explore the audience's spectating behavior in HBL, UBA and WSBL, domestic women's sports event and discuss the factors of audience's spectating behavior. The data was collected through Questionnaire Survey and the subjects were the audience of these competitions in 2014. A total number of questionnaires was 600 and 503 shares valid questionnaires were recovered. The dependent variables were audiences' spectating motivation and identity, and the data analysis adopted multiple regression analysis. Result: About population statistics: Female was the major spectating population of these three sports events. The age of 16 to 25 was the main audience. The result, partial support the hypothesis, indicates that the intensity of spectating motivation and the athletes with whom audiences identify has an influence on spectating behavior. In addition, different competitive levels have a moderation on the relationship between motivation and spectating behavior. Moreover, different competitive levels have a moderation on identity and spectating behavior. Factors of HBL spectator motivation were appreciation of sport, attraction of sport, vicarious achievement, female sports supporting and knowledge; in addition, that of UBA were attraction of sport, vicarious achievement and female sports supporting; moreover that of WSBL were appreciation of sport, attraction of sport, vicarious achievement, female sports supporting, escape, knowledge, ambience and et al. These factors had significant positive influences on spectating behavior. The points of attachment of HBL audiences' were woman basketball identification, sport identification and team identification; that of UBA were woman basketball identification and team identification; that of WSBL were woman basketball identification, sport identification and level of sport identification. These factors had significant positive influences on spectating behavior. This research suggests some advises.

Abstract
Basketball is an extremely competitive and variable sport with high watchable value. During a intense and fierce game, the basketball referee needs to make their calls under the seconds of time, thus the happenings of mistakes are unavoidable. Therefore, most of the times, the referees confront with the situation of being criticized and questioned, leading to debates and controversies. The purposes of this research were: 1) to discuss how the different kinds of mistaken calls made by basketball referees would influence the satisfaction of the audience 2) to explore how the different types of recompensation made by the basketball referees after a mistaken call would influence the satisfaction of the audience and 3) to cross study how the relation between the different kinds of mistaken calls and the different types of re-compensation would influence on the satisfaction of the audience. This study adopted the experimental script method which 8 kinds of scripts were especifically designed. After the collection of data from 511 subjects, an independent sample t test, a single factor and a double factor variable analysis on the influence of the different kinds of mistaken calls, the influence of the different types of recompensation and the influence of the relation between both on the satisfaction of the audience were conducted. The results showed that: the different kinds of mistaken calls and the relation between the different kinds of mistaken calls and different types of recompensation did not show significant influence but the different types of recompensation did show significant influence. The study concluded that the different kinds of mistaken calls, whether wrong call or missed calls, would not affect audience satisfaction. However, after making a mistaken call, immediate correction was the recompensation method that the audience demonstrated the highest satisfaction. Thus, it proposes that the audience is recognitive and supportive towards the fact of the referee’s admiting the mistake that he/she made and correcting his/her call. The other recompensation method that showed audience satisfaction was public apology after the game. The audience showed better perception towards the professional competence of the referees and showed higher satisfaction towards the professionalism of the game organizers. Hence, public apology would not affect the credibility that the audience has towards the referees and the game organizers.
Key words： Basketball referee, Mistaken calls, Recompensation, Satisfaction

碩士<br>國立臺灣體育運動大學<br>休閒運動管理研究所<br>107<br>The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors of spectators’ constraints on attendance at the Super Basketball League (SBL) Games. The participants of this study were the spectators who attended the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) games instead of the SBL games. The instrument of this study was the spectators’ constraints scale. The questionnaires were distributed on March 9th and 10th, 2019 at the Changhua County Stadium (A total of 250 questionnaires were disseminated and 220 effective questionnaires were returned with an effective response rate of 88%). The collected data were analyzed by SPSS and the result were as follows: (1) According to the validity and reliability analyses, the spectators’ constraints scale revealed seven factors, including lack of interest, insufficient marketing, lack of excitement, cost issues, accessibility, identification of teams and facilities of the stadium.

ATTITUDES, INTERESTS AND SPORT SPECTATOR PROFILING: VARIABLES
AFFECTING GAME ATTENDANCE IN A NHL FRANCHISE
This study examined the literature on spectator profiling and evaluated current
survey methodologies being used to profile hockey spectators and their preferences
regarding NHL hockey game attendance. The research had two inter-related objectives.
One was to investigate the consumer profiles of sport spectators associated with a
specific NHL franchise, the Vancouver Canucks, and to relate these to game attendance.
The second objective was to test and evaluate a questionnaire designed to incorporate
latest thinking on variables that affect professional sports game attendance. Survey data
were collected from 907 attendees at four Vancouver Canucks games and from 203
students at the University of British Columbia during the 2001-2002 NHL season. Two
separate studies were conducted using the data. Study 1 investigated reasons for game
attendance, and respondents' activity patterns and interests. Data analyses for study 1
included a confirmatory factor analysis for testing the validity of the game attendance
items (reasons for game attendance), and a decision tree analysis for classifying
spectators based on their reported game attendance frequencies, activity patterns, and
interests. Results of study 1 indicate that the respondents' game attendance rates were
affected by income, use of hockey websites, playing baseball when young, job, being
accompanied by co-workers, ethnic background, perception of T.V. as the best
promotional medium, personal fan history, and playing hockey when young. Study 2
investigated the relationship between spectators' opinions about sports and their game
attendance, and attempted to identify potential predictors of game attendance levels. A
confirmatory factor analysis was used in Study 2 to test the validity of the sport opinion
items (opinions about sports), and a cluster analysis was used to identify unique
spectator groups. Three distinctive spectator segments were identified, and the three
groups varied on a number of dimensions including game attendance rates, sports
participation history, and their opinions about the benefits of sports, community pride,
cynicism about professional sports, attitude toward professional athletes, perceived time
costs, role of government, and attitude toward amateur sports. The research found
evidence of national cultural differences between Canadian sports spectators and their
American counterparts. It is recommended that future research investigate national and
regional cultural differences as well as differences between major and minor league
sports and competitive factors in local sports markets.<br>Education, Faculty of<br>Kinesiology, School of<br>Graduate

Motivations are important antecedents that influence the consumption behaviors of sport spectators. In this study, the motivations that were adopted from the Uses and Gratifications Theory (UGT) were cognitive, affective, personal integrative, social integrative, and tension release. However, the relationship among the motivations of eSport spectators has often been neglected. The aim of this study is thus to clarify what motivations affect consumers of eSports, and how these motivations interact. In this study, the independence models and competing models were measured for the spectator groups of League of Legends and Hearthstone for discussion. This study used an online survey and purposive sampling to collect the data. The sample (n=574) was collected from online communities. The statistical technique of structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data. The analyses were conducted using SPSS 17.0 and Amos 17.0 to test the research models. The findings showed that cognitive and personal integrative motivations have significant positive effects on the consumption behavior of spectators of Hearthstone; affective motivation has a significant positive effect on consumption behavior for spectators of League of Legends; and social integrative motivation has significant positive effects on consumption behavior in both games. The results reveal the motivation effect on consumption behavior of different games and practiced UGT, the cognitive-affective relationship, and the relationship between social needs and affective motivation in the eSport area.
