Daniel L. Wann

Daniel L. Wann runs a research program that centers on the psychology of sports fandom. In particular, he is interested in the causes and consequences of sports team identification (i.e., the extent to which a fan feels a psychological connection to a team). He currently investigates the following topics as they relate to team identification: fan/spectator aggression, the psychological well-being of fans, the strategies used by fans to cope with their team’s poor performance, behavioral loyalty (e.g., attendance), fan superstitions, and the socialization of sports fans. - from www.murraystate.edu
