| Sumario: | The present study investigated the effects of the favorite and rival team visualization on valence and emotional arousal indicators, verifying for possible interactions with the fanaticism level in soccer fans. Twenty-seven volunteers (Mage = 22; SD = 3.25) participated in this experiment, who evaluated the pleasantness (hedonic valence) and the emotional arousal (activation) triggered by a set of neutral, positive and negative images of the International System of Affective Pictures (IAPS) plus 30 experimental images of the favorite and rival team. Evaluations were performed using the Self Assessment Manikin (SAM) scale and the Football Supporter Fanatism Scale (FSFS). Comparative analysis revealed that fanaticism did not influence the assignment of hedonic valence to the images. However, individuals with higher levels of fanaticism exhibited greater arousal in response to neutral (p < .01; d = 0.914), favorite (p < .01; d = 1.49), and rival images (p < .01; d = 0.83). The dispersion analysis suggested the involvement of appetitive and aversive motivational systems in response to images of the favorite and rival teams, respectively. The study findings lead to a better understanding of the fanaticism in soccer. |
