And while some people think of sports as just a fun interest.
5
Social psychologists have a wider view
6
Many modern social psychologists say that watching sports and identifying with a particular player or team fulfills an important human need.
7
This is the need to belong to a group and feel a sense of self -esteem.

In other words, people may have a deeper social motivation for following sports.
9
It's not just about watching a game.
10
Thank you.

today.
12
We'll take a quick look at five broad reasons why people follow sports.
13
and then we'll come back to this idea of belonging and self -esteem.
14
Okay?
15
- Okay.
16
First off, People are motivated to watch sports because sports are really entertaining.
17
Sports is performance art.
18
we can observe superb athletes displaying their talent and dedication.
19
- Thank you.
20
For example, even if you don't particularly like sports, you can appreciate the gymnastic performance of an Olympic athlete.
21
or an NBA player dunking a basketball.
22
or a Wimbledon champion serving an ace, or a soccer player scissor -kicking a goal.
23
The beauty of sports performances can be enchanting.
24
The second motivation for following sports is our love of competition.
25
Human beings are competitive.
26
We love competition.
27
a race, a contest.
28
When we watch athletes playing competitive sports, we get a kind of indirect satisfaction.
29
We feel as if we are also in the competition.
30
Our blood pressure and hormone levels increase along with the athletes.
31
- Thank you.
32
The third motivation for following sports is our interest in drama.
33
All human beings in all cultures love stories.
34
Sports is a great source of storytelling because sports involve personal histories and struggles, relationships and rivalries.
35
We want to see how these individuals succeed and how they respond to challenges.
36
- Thank you.
37
We also want to know about their lives outside the lines, their real lives when they're not performing.
38
Now, there is a fourth motivation for watching sports.
39
This is our desire to understand strategy.
40
Games are interesting only if they involve some kind of problem solving and decision making.
41
When we watch a sports event like a soccer match at the World Cup or even a chess match, we want to analyze the strategy of the players.
42
We want to learn: what tactics do the players use?
43
How do they try to get an advantage over their opponents?
44
And the fifth thing that motivates people to become sports fans is the attraction of being part of a community.
45
People become sports fans because that experience bonds them with others.
46
Being a fan allows individuals to feel like they're part of a group.
47
They can experience a sense of belonging and acceptance.
48
We definitely witness this at a national level, don't we?
49
For example, at the Olympics being a sports fan is a way for people to feel united as a nation.
50
Fans feel a sense of triumph and glory simply when their national team competes.
51
They love wearing the same colours, chanting and cheering with their group.
52
It feels good.
53
and fans can feel that they are involved whether they are at the stadium or just watching at home.
54
- No. What's going on here?
55
We can explain this with social identity theory, which was originated some 40 years ago by two British psychologists,
56
Henry Typhill and John Turner.
57
Social identity theory states that people behave in ways that increase their self -esteem.
58
Self -esteem is a term in psychology that relates to mental health.
59
We need self -esteem to be healthy.
60
This includes self -respect, pride, and self -confidence.
61
And being a sports fan is one way that people can boost their self -esteem.
62
By associating or affiliating with the team, by wearing team colours, or by going to games and tracking wins and losses,
63
fans feel that they are an integral part of something.
64
They feel they're an important part of the team.
65
part of a community.
66
The team and the team community actually becomes an important part of the fans' self -identity.
67
So when the team wins, it feels like a personal success. And?
68
Yes, when the team loses, it feels like a personal failure.
69
But even when our team loses, we can still feel self -esteem, because we remain loyal, dedicated members of our group.
70
And like all fans everywhere, we keep hoping for future success.
71
Are you with me so far?
72
Well, Here's an interesting aspect of fan affiliation.
73
It has to do with how social media reinforces social identity theory.
74
Fans tend to use social media Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and so on,
75
as a way of broadcasting and reinforcing their sense of belonging to a group.
76
With social media, Fans stay connected and share their commitment to the team.
77
And it works both ways.
78
Teams and players also post regularly on social media.
79
This ongoing exchange keeps fans involved in the team community.
80
So, to summarise: We've looked at five types of motivation for people to become sports fans.
81
Entertainment.
82
Competition drama, strategy, and community.
83
We all have a human drive to be part of a group and to feel good about ourselves.
84
and being a sports fan is one way to do that.
85
In the next class, we'll look at other kinds of social groups and how social identity theory operates in them.
86
Okay, team.
87
That's all for today.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
