運動社會化對職棒女性球迷球隊認同之影響

Abstract

個體透過社會化習得整個社會角色的形式，而運動社會化過程乃透過運動社會化媒介所傳播之互動訊息，使個體內化後在心智、思考與行為等方面獲得新的成長。運動社會化是女性進入職棒場域成為職棒女性球迷其中一環，球隊認同為職棒女性球迷對於球隊關心或注重程度的表現，將球隊視為和自身有關聯性，且會因為球隊而得到自我尊重、歸屬感和自我價值。本研究旨在探討職棒女性球迷之運動社會化與球隊認同的關係，並選擇至少一年有至桃園青埔國際棒球場現場觀看比賽的Lamigo Monkeys桃猿隊女性球迷為研究對象，透過深度訪談法得有效樣本7人，瞭解女性球迷在職業棒球之運動社會化、球隊認同之影響，研究結論如下： (一) 女性的運動社會化導入職棒深受其個人特質、重要他人與社會化情境影響，且此三個因素的關係是交互影響而密不可分的，最後開啟女性開始觀賞職棒的契機。 (二) 使職棒女性球迷產生球隊認同的因素離不開運動社會化的影響，且球隊認同為職棒女性球迷持續不斷支持球隊的因素。 (三) 成為職棒球迷後的社會化對於女性來說，不論是對於其生活圈互動的改變，或是職棒成為了重要的休閒活動，更是讓她們的內心改變與成長的原因。本研究建議職棒球團能掌握女性球迷運動社會化之因素，增加女性球迷對球隊之認同感，對於增加球迷與永續經營將有所幫助。Individuals acquire the knowledge of different social roles through socialization.
