Team identity in youth soccer: The role of coaches' feedback patterns and use of humour
2017
The purpose of this study was to empirically examine the relationship between coaches' communication patterns (feedback and use of humour) and team identity in youth soccer. A cross-sectional design was used and participants were 532 soccer players, aged from 13 to 20 years, taking part in a youth soccer tournament, the Sør Cup. Structural Equation Modelling based multiple regression analysis was conducted, and the findings revealed that positive/instructive feedback and coaches' use of humour were positive significant predictors of team identity. Contrary to our expectations, negative/punishment feedback was not significantly related to team identity. The findings are discussed within a so…
Emotion–performance relationships in team sport: The role of personal and social identities
2018
IF 2018: 1.25 (Q2); International audience; In the field of emotion–performance relationship in achievement situations, the social dimensions of emotions have been understudied. Thus, recent advances highlighted the need to explore identity processes to know whether group belonging may influence individuals’ emotions and performance when they are involved in a task-group. The current study introduced an innovative approach to continuously capture the variability of emotions (pleasant and unpleasant), identity levels (personal and social) and performances (individual and collective) experienced during volleyball games. Six elite players (M = 20.14 years; SD = 1.25) volunteered to participate…
On the conversation between female videobloggers and commentators
2021
El desarrollo de YouTube como una plataforma social surge a partir de dos ideas. En primer lugar, los amateurs pueden producir contenido de cualquier índole. Y, en segundo lugar, su audiencia puede expresar su opinión sin restricciones. Este intercambio de información impulsa la formación de comunidades en torno a un interés común: contenido y/o videobloguero. La dimensión social en YouTube tiene lugar de manera bidireccional. La interacción regular entre las dos partes ha significado un cambio crucial en la percepción de la producción y consumo audiovisual, así como también en los productores de vídeo, amateurs y audiencia. Las investigaciones iniciales se han dirigido a examinar los comen…

Perceived collective continuity and ingroup identification as defence against death awareness
2008
"Perhaps unique among the animal species, humans are aware that they will ultimately die. Terror management theory (TMT) posits that investing in a social group helps people to manage paralysing anxiety stemming from death awareness. In line with this proposition, research to date has shown that when reminded of their own mortality, people increase their identification with a relevant group and defend its beliefs, values, and practices. In the reported study, we demonstrate that a mortality salience induction enhances people’s perceptions of group temporal endurance—or perceived collective continuity (PCC), as we define it. Enhanced PCC leads, in turn, to enhanced group identification. This…

Does social climate influence positive eWOM? A study of heavy-users of online communities.
2018
Abstract This paper provides a deeper understanding of the role of social influences on positive eWOM behaviour (PeWOM) of heavy-users of online communities. Drawing on Social Interaction Utility Framework, Group Marketing and Social Learning Theories, we develop and test a research model integrating the interactions between the social climate of a website and Interpersonal Influences in PeWOM. 262 Spanish heavy-users of online communities were selected and the data analysed using partial least squares equation modelling. Overall, the model explains 59% of the variance of PeWOM on online communities. Findings reveal that interaction with other members of the online community (Social Presenc…
Identity Development in Adulthood: Introduction
2016
In line with Erikson’s suggestions, increasing empirical evidence substantiates that considerable identity development takes place over the course of adulthood. What then does identity development during adulthood entail? The key findings of adult identity formation from four culturally different countries, and the challenges of analyzing the complex concept of identity are discussed. Although a wide array of identity measures are available, they have not been sufficiently validated for use with middle-aged or older adults. Additionally, different measures may yield results that are not comparable across studies. More studies are needed on adult identity development in populations represent…
Influence of Social Media on Corporate Heritage Tourism Brand
2017
Heritage tourism is an established research canon. However, corporate heritage tourism is an emerging research stream that integrates the heritage tourism canon and corporate brand attributes. This study, utilising a conceptual approach and proposing a conceptual model, explicates the role of social media (marketer and consumer-generated media) in fostering a sense of community among the corporate heritage tourism brand adherents and visit intention among members of the community. In addition, this study incorporates social identity theory to dilate group dynamics and to foster strong feelings and sense of identity among its community. peerReviewed
