The Influence of Involvement in Attitude Regarding Supporter’s Groups: a study of habits in brazilian soccer
Keywords:
supporters, hooliganism, involvement rate, attitudeAbstract
This paper tried to understand the influence of the involvement of soccer fans in their attitude towards hooliganism. To do so, a qualitative research was made, in which supporters were interviewed in order to gather their most common assertions. After that came the quantitative stage, in which observational delineation was used to test such assertions. The results showed that involvement and positive attitude towards hooliganism are positively linked, whereas there is no link between media habits, rate of consumption, and rate of presence in the matches with the attitude about hooliganism.
