  • Student athlete well-being framework: An empirical examination of elite college student athletes

    Shintaro Sato, Keita Kinoshita, Midori Kondo, Yuki Yabunaka, Yaeko Yamada, Hironobu Tsuchiya

    Frontiers in Psychology (IF = 3.8)   14  2023.06  [Refereed]

    Authorship:Lead author, Corresponding author

     View Summary

    The current study proposes a multidimensional student athlete well-being framework (SAWBF). The authors used 12 items to capture SAWBF comprised of four well-being dimensions (i.e., physical, hedonic, psychological, and social well-being). To empirically assess the reliability and validity of the framework, data from elite collegiate student athletes in Japan (N = 546) were procured. The results indicated sufficient convergent and discriminant validities of SAWBF. The authors also assessed predictive validity correlations of the framework by focusing on the oft-supported well-being outcome–organizational citizenship behavior, which were also found to be associated with SAWBF. The findings indicated the usefulness of SAWBF; and coaches and staff members can utilize the framework to multi-dimensionally understand well-being status of their student athletes, potentially boosting adaptive behaviors.

    Journal of Business Administration   48 ( 3 ) 001 - 012  2023.09  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    <p>Many companies use athletes to endorse their products and services in advertisements. This is because the model used in advertisement can influence consumer behaviour. However, given the gendered nature of sports, it is unclear whether the gender of the model affects the effectiveness of the advertisements. 63 respondents were recruited to view an advertisement featuring either a male or female athlete. Independent t-tests showed that there was no significant difference in the perception of quality (t(61)=1.61, p>.10) and purchase intention (t(61)=1.27, p>.10) between the two groups. Further analysis showed that while the male athlete captured more attention and encourage consumers to take a closer look at the advertisement and the advertised brand, it did not lead to a more positive evaluation of the advertised product. The study concludes that the process from visual attention to behavioural intention can be complex and require further study. </p><p> </p>

     View Summary

    The world engaged in online sport watching during COVID-19. Fortunately, in Taiwan, the pandemic was stably controlled in 2020, allowing for the continuation of the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL); this attracted international attention and encouraged relevant discussions on social media in Taiwan. In the present study, through text mining, we analyzed user content (e.g., the concepts of sports service quality and social identity) on the Professional Technology Temple (PTT) baseball board—the largest online bulletin board system in Taiwan. A predictive model was constructed to assess PTT users’ COVID-19-related comments in 2020. A total of 422 articles and 21,167 comments were retrieved. PTT users interacted more frequently during the closed-door period, particularly during the beginning of the CPBL in April. Effective pandemic prevention, which garnered global attention to the league, generated a sense of national identity among the users, which was strengthened with the development of peripheral products, such as English broadcasting and live broadcasting on Twitch. We used machine learning to develop a chatbot for predicting the attributes of users’ comments; this chatbot may improve CPBL teams’ understanding of public opinion trends. Our findings may help stakeholders develop tailored programs for online spectators of sports during pandemic situations.

  • The effects of pre-scandal associations of athlete endorsers and scandal types on consumer blame and eWOM

    Shintaro Sato, Yong Jae Ko, Daehwan Kim, Joon Sung Lee

    International Journal of Sports Marketing and Sponsorship (IF = 2.2)    2023.06  [Refereed]

    Authorship:Lead author, Corresponding author

     View Summary

    Purpose

    The purpose of this research is to examine how pre-scandal associations and scandal types interactively influence consumer judgment and negative electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM).

    Design/methodology/approach

    Drawing from cognitive dissonance theory and associative memory network model, the online experiments (Amazon Mechanical Turk; Nexperiment 1 = 146 and Nexperiment 2 = 189) were conducted to examine the effects of positive pre-scandal associations (performance vs pro-social) and scandal types (performance-related vs -unrelated) on consumer blame and eWOM toward scandalized athletes. Data were analyzed by employing t-test (experiment 1), Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) and PROCESS Model 8 (experiment 2) to test the hypotheses.

    Findings

    The findings highlight that positive pre-scandal association demonstrated both protecting and backfiring effects depending on the types of scandals. Specifically, when performance-related scandals emerged, consumers made more negative blame judgment of athletes with salient performance association, relative to pro-social association. Inversely, when performance-unrelated scandals occurred, athletes with salient pro-social association were more likely to be blamed. Regarding eWOM, consumers generate more negative eWOM when athletes with pre-performance associations are involved with performance-related scandals. This pattern of the result was not observed when athletes' pro-social association and performance-unrelated scandals were prominent.

    Originality/value

    The current work adds consumers' negative eWOM toward scandalized athletes to the literature as a predictor of how athletes' pre-scandal association with consumers and scandal types are related. The findings indicate that consumers feel greater dissonance and generate more negative eWOM when athletes' pre-scandal associations and scandal types are closely related.

  • Creating sport environments for youth to thrive: understanding the mechanism to intentions to continue sport and subjective well-being

    Keita Kinoshita, Eric MacIntosh, Shintaro Sato

    International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology (IF = 3.30)    2023  [Refereed]

    Authorship:Last author

     View Summary

    The study investigated how social environmental factors (i.e., supportive behaviors of coaches and parents) are associated with thriving in sport amongst a youth population, influencing important outcomes of sport participation (i.e., intention to continue sport and subjective well-being in sport). Two-wave data was collected within a three-month time span to help determine the relationship of social environmental factors with intention to continue and subjective well-being. One hundred fifty-nine Japanese youth sport participants (M age = 15.81) completed the questionnaires twice. Autonomy supportiveness of coaches and parents was positively related to thriving three months later. In contrast, only the relationship between autonomy support from coaches and thriving was mediated by the change in basic psychological need satisfaction. Moreover, autonomy support from coaches was related to intention to continue sport and subjective well-being in sport through the changes in basic psychological needs satisfaction and thriving individually and in sequence. The results indicate the importance of both the parent and coach in the role of nurturing the young athletes, while the influence was more robust for coaches. The findings indicate a need for stakeholders to focus on educating and promoting their role in creating supportive environments aimed at increasing retention and well-being.

  • COVID-19 and Attendance Demand for Professional Sport in Japan: A Multilevel Analysis of Repeated Cross-Sectional National Data during the Pandemic

    Hiroaki Funahashi, Shintaro Sato, Takuya Furukawa

    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IF = 3.39)   19 ( 9 ) 5318 - 5318  2022.04  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    In the current investigation, we assess the effect of COVID-19 on intention-based spectator demand for professional sports in Japan captured by eight, monthly repeated cross-sectional national surveys from May to December 2020 (n = 20,121). We regress spectator demand on individual (e.g., gender), prefecture-wave (e.g., COVID-19 infection status), and prefecture-level factors (i.e., with or without quality professional teams). The results of multilevel logistic regression demonstrate that individual (i.e., male, younger, full-time employment, and with children status) and prefecture-level team factors (i.e., with teams) were associated with intention-based spectator demand. Nevertheless, COVID-19-related factors were found to be unrelated to spectator demand. The findings imply that sports fans are likely to return to the stadium once behavioral restrictions are lifted. The current research provided further evidence that individual factors and team quality serve as influential antecedents of spectator demand in the context of the COVID-19 epidemic.

  • Sport Community Involvement and Life Satisfaction During COVID-19: A Moderated Mediation of Psychological Capital by Distress and Generation Z

    Juho Park, Jun-Phil Uhm, Sanghoon Kim, Minjung Kim, Shintaro Sato, Hyun-Woo Lee

    Frontiers in Psychology (IF = 2.99)   13  2022.04  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    How can sport community involvement influence life satisfaction during a pandemic? Self-expansion theory posits that individuals seek to gain resources such as positive interpersonal relationships for growth and achievement. By considering psychological capital (PsyCap) as a dispositional resource intervening between sport community involvement and life satisfaction, we examined an empirical model to test the chain of effects. Based on the stress process model, distress and generational group (Generation Z vs. others) were tested as moderators. Participants (N = 233) responded to the scale item questionnaire for model assessment. Supporting the hypothesized relationships, the model was supported with a significant moderated-moderated mediation. The mediation effect of PsyCap was stronger when distress level was lower and such interaction effect was amplified for Generation Z (Gen Z). Whereas the global sport communities and Gen Z were found to be more particularly vulnerable to COVID-19, our findings suggest that there are psychological pathways for fans to maintain their resilience. It is foremost imperative to lower the stress level of sport fans for their community involvement to positively affect life satisfaction. Gen Z were more stressed during the pandemic but individuals who managed to cope with stress were able to leverage community involvement to boost positive psychological resources. Acknowledgment of these effects brings implications for better management strategies and provides avenues for new research.

  • Influence of COVID-19 Crisis on Motivation and Hiking Intention of Gen Z in China: Perceived Risk and Coping Appraisal as Moderators

    Yunfan Wu, Keita Kinoshita, Yi Zhang, Rena Kagami, Shintaro Sato

    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IF = 3.39)   19 ( 8 ) 4612 - 4612  2022.04  [Refereed]

    Authorship:Last author, Corresponding author

     View Summary

    People’s lives have drastically changed since the outbreak of COVID-19. One concern during the pandemic has been the level of inactivity among people. Compared to various generations (e.g., baby boomers, generation alpha), Generation Z (Gen Z) traditionally spends much less time in outdoor spaces. Due to the pandemic, their inactiveness is assumed to be even more severe. Hiking, an outdoor activity, has become a possible remedy for young people to exercise in a safer sport environment compared to traditional facility-based activities. Although various studies have supported the link between motivations and hiking intention, the relationship may be altered based on psychological influences unique to the pandemic situations—perceived risk and coping appraisals. The current study was conducted to investigate the relationship between Gen Z’s motivations and hiking intention and moderating roles of perceived risk and coping appraisals in a pandemic environment. Data were collected from Gen Z between 18 and 24 in China (N = 407). The validity and reliability of all the constructs were assessed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), average variance extracted (AVE), and composite reliability. For testing hypotheses, PROCESS Macro 4.0 was used. The findings proposed that the appraisals of the pandemic situation (i.e., perceived risk and coping ability) moderated the relationship between two of the motivations—intellectual and destination motivations—and hiking intention. As a result, organizers of outdoor sports programs can implement viable strategies and take valid measurements to minimize the fear and worries among people in the time of the crisis.

    Sustainability (IF = 3.25)   13 ( 18 ) 10316 - 10316  2021.09  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Research has shown that participation in sport tourism can enhance wellbeing. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between wellbeing generated through participation in active sport tourism and overall life satisfaction. Three different types of active sport tourism (i.e., golf, snowboarding, and long-distance running) were compared to explore whether the type of experience impacts the relationship between active sport tourism wellbeing and life satisfaction. Broaden-and-build theory was used as a theoretical foundation. Data were collected via an online self-administered questionnaire. Respondents were recruited via a Qualtrics panel (N = 418). Analysis of variance indicated that snowboarders rated the positive emotions acquired from active sport tourism significantly lower than golfers and runners. Furthermore, hierarchical multiple regression showed a significantly stronger relationship between positive emotions and life satisfaction for golfers and runners compared to snowboarders. Theoretical contributions and practical implications are discussed.

  • A Buffering Effect of Mental Toughness on the Negative Impact of Basic Psychological Need Thwarting on Positive Youth Athlete Functioning

    Keita Kinoshita, Eric MacIntosh, Shintaro Sato

    The Sport Psychologist (IF = 1.45)   35 ( 3 ) 190 - 199  2021.09  [Refereed]

    Authorship:Last author, Corresponding author

     View Summary

    Basic psychological needs (BPN) are a construct that helps clarify the psychological mechanism to reach desirable outcomes for youth athletes. When BPN are undermined, people should be less likely to thrive. As mental toughness (MT) can reduce the negative effects of stressors, MT may buffer the negative effects of maladaptive motivation. This study investigated the mediating role of thriving on the relationships between BPN thwarting and important outcomes for youth athletes’ positive functioning. It also examined the buffering effects of MT. One hundred eighty-eight Canadian youth athletes (<italic>M</italic>age = 15.51) answered an online survey. The results demonstrated that thriving was a significant mediator, and the indirect relationships were moderated by MT. The indirect associations were nonsignificant for youth with high MT. The findings demonstrated that MT might decrease the negative impacts of BPN thwarting on thriving and important outcomes for young athletes.

  • The Association Between Facial Width-to-Height Ratio (fWHR) and Sporting Performances: Evidence From Professional Basketball Players in Japan

    Shintaro Sato, Keita Kinoshita, Koichi Sekino, Haruka Amano, Yoshifumi Bizen, Hirotaka Matsuoka

    Frontiers in Psychology (IF = 2.99)   12  2021.08  [Refereed]

    Authorship:Lead author, Corresponding author

     View Summary

    Previous research in evolutionary psychology has highlighted the potential role of facial structures in explaining human behavior. The facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR) was found to be associated with testosterone-driven behavioral tendencies like achievement drive, aggression, and sporting success. The current study aimed to replicate such relationships using real-world data (i.e., professional basketball players; <italic>N</italic> = 482). Achievement drive, aggression, and sporting success were operationalized as field-goal attempts (FGA), the number of fouls committed (Foul), and player performance rating (EFF), respectively. The results indicated that fWHR was significantly associated with FGA and EFF, controlling for minutes of play and body-mass-index. The same results were obtained for separate analyses focusing on outsider players. However, analyses of inside players demonstrated that fWHR was associated only with EFF. The current research further provides empirical evidence supporting the effects of fWHR on achievement drive and sporting successes, although the effect sizes are notably small.

  • Gamified Wearable Fitness Tracker for Physical Activity: A Comprehensive Literature Review

    Authorship:Last author

     View Summary

    Recently, gamified wearable fitness trackers have received greater attention and usage among sport consumers. Although a moderate amount of aerobic physical activity can significantly reduce the risk of many serious illnesses, physical inactivity issues are still prominent. Although wearable fitness trackers have the potential to contribute to physical activity engagement and sustainable health outcomes, there are dwindling engagement and discontinuance issues. Thus, examining its gamification elements and role in physical activity becomes critical. This study examined the gamification elements in wearable fitness trackers and their role in physical activity and sports engagement. A comprehensive literature review yielded 26 articles that empirically measured a variety of gamification features and the effect of the device on physical activity and sports engagement. The study suggests three key gamification themes: goal-based, social-based, and rewards-based gamification that can be a point of interest for future scholars and practitioners. Based on the review, we propose a conceptual framework that embraces motivational affordances and engagement in physical activity and sports.

     View Summary

    <title>Abstract</title>The current study was conducted to examine the interactive effects of basic psychological needs satisfaction (BPNS), hedonic and eudaimonic motives on intrinsic regulation. To assess the causal relationship, two-wave time-lagged data collection was employed. A total of 159 youth athletes in Japan participated in online surveys twice (three-month time lag between two data points). The results indicated that the effect of BPNS on intrinsic regulation was moderated by hedonic and eudaimonic motives. Interestingly, BPNS negatively affected intrinsic regulation among youth athletes with low hedonic motives. This negative impact was further augmented when the level of eudaimonic motives was higher. Conversely, BPNS positively influenced intrinsic regulation among youth athletes with high hedonic motives. This positive impact of BPNS was more prominent when eudaimonic motives were lower. Overall, the findings suggest that when intrinsic regulation is the central concern, youth athletes should focus more on seeking enjoyment while putting self-development aside to maximize the positive impact of BPNS.

     View Summary

    The purpose of the current study, drawing on attribution theory, was to investigate consumers’ attribution process and its impact on their responses to a scandalized athlete and endorsement. The results of the experiment indicate that the distinctiveness of an athlete scandal prompts external attribution while having a negative impact on internal attribution. Additionally, the consistency of an athlete scandal triggers internal attribution. Moreover, the results show that internal (external) attribution has direct negative (positive) impact on attitude toward the scandalized athlete. Lastly, the results show that consumers’ attribution type indirectly determines the consumer responses toward the troubled athlete and endorsement perception. Findings of the current study provide empirical evidence to explain what informational cues consumers utilize when making causal inferences and how such causal inferences subsequently affect the consumer responses. Th e current study also provides marketing managers with useful implications to make informed decisions in the athlete transgression context.

     View Summary

    © The Author(s) 2019. It is important for brands to appropriately respond when their athlete endorsers are involved in a scandal. The present study examines how consumer evaluations of endorsed brands are influenced by a brand’s response to an endorser scandal. A 2 (brand response strategy type: maintenance vs. termination) × 2 (endorser scandal type: competence-relevant vs. competence-irrelevant) between-subjects experiment is conducted. Specifically, the authors focus on the perceived appropriateness of the response strategy and consumer attitudes toward an endorsed brand. Subjects were recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turk (N = 111). Consumers perceive that terminating an endorsement contract with a scandalized endorser is more appropriate than maintaining the relationship. This is particularly true when celebrity endorsers are involved in competence-relevant scandals. A further analysis provided support for the idea that perceived “appropriateness” mediates the relationship between competence-relevant scandal and consumer attitude toward an endorsed brand. A termination strategy was considered appropriate when scandalized endorsers engaged in competence-relevant scandals, which eventually lead to more favorable consumer evaluations toward an endorsed brand.

    © 2019, Emerald Publishing Limited. Purpose: By testing a moderated mediation model, the purpose of this paper is to examine the mediating role of credit card self-efficacy in the relationship between credit card literacy and financial well-being. The authors further examine if credit card number moderates this effect. Design/methodology/approach: Data for the study were collected from 427 college students. The PROCESS macros in IBM SPSS Statistics 23 was used to assess the hypothesized relationships. Findings: Credit card literacy positively influences financial well-being through self-efficacy. However, this effect is stronger when college students own fewer credit cards. Practical implications: Banks and credit card issuers, policymakers and colleges and universities should place a greater emphasis on credit card literacy programs that enhance students’ general understanding of credit card terms and conditions and confidence in their ability to effectively use and manage their credit cards. Originality/value: To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the relationship between credit card literacy, self-efficacy and financial well-being.

    Journal of Sport and Tourism   22 ( 2 ) 173 - 186  2018.04  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Understanding active sport tourists’ profiles and nurturing their destination loyalty are important considerations in the tourism market. Loyal tourists are valuable because they tend to revisit a focal destination and elicit positive word-of-mouth. Focusing on a snow-based active sport tourism context, this study was conducted to examine (1) the usefulness of experience-use history (EUH) as a segmentation tool and (2) the relationship between perceived value factors (i.e. quality, emotional response, monetary price, behavioral price, and destination reputation) and destination loyalty in each EUH group. Data were collected from the Niseko ski resort in Japan (N = 328). Based on the EUH variables (i.e. length and frequency of snow-based sport participation), participants were categorized into four segments (i.e. novice, short-active, long-inactive, and expert). The results showed significant differences among EUH groups in terms of their socio-demographics (e.g. gender, age, and income). A series of regression analyses also showed that each segment’s destination loyalty was uniquely enhanced by perceived value factors. Specifically, perceived quality was a significant antecedent of destination loyalty for sport tourists in the novice group. For those in the short-active, long-inactive, and expert groups, perceived emotional response significantly predicted destination loyalty. Perceived reputation of the destination was also important to enhance destination loyalty for the short-active group whereas perceived monetary price was positively associated with the long-inactive group’s destination loyalty. Marketing managers in snow-based sport tourism destinations can utilize the findings to increase the loyalty of active sport tourists, which will improve their competitiveness in the marketplace.

  • Exploring the relationship among leisure engagement, affective and cognitive leisure involvement, and subjective happiness: a mediating role of leisure satisfaction

    Hideo Matsumoto, Shintaro Sato, Akira Asada, Koichi Chiashi

    World Leisure Journal   60 ( 2 ) 111 - 126  2018.04  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The current study was conducted to examine the relationship among leisure engagement, affective (i.e. attraction, centrality, resistance to change) and cognitive (i.e. equipment, knowledge) leisure involvement, leisure satisfaction, and subjective happiness. From a sample of 493 American scuba divers, we found that (1) the oft-supported leisure engagement-happiness relationship was rejected, and (2) subjective happiness was directly or indirectly associated with affective and cognitive leisure involvement factors. Specifically, leisure engagement did not show any significant relationship with subjective happiness. Rather, subjective happiness was associated with several affective and cognitive leisure involvement factors. Attraction was associated with subjective happiness through leisure satisfaction, while the relationship between subjective happiness and centrality was negative. Equipment was positively and indirectly associated with subjective happiness whereas knowledge was directly linked to subjective happiness. These demonstrated that affective and cognitive involvement rather than leisure engagement are strongly associated with subjective happiness. Detailed theoretical interpretation and useful information for policy makers who develop leisure programmes aimed at enhancing public happiness will be provided.

     View Summary

    © 2017, © Emerald Publishing Limited. Purpose: This study examines the use of high-expertise sources such as doctors to sell dietary supplements and the use of skeptical statements toward approved drugs in the act of selling dietary supplements. Design/methodology/approach: The research questions are addressed by means of a scenario experiment that manipulated two independent variables: expertise (high- vs low-expertise) and skepticism toward prescription drugs (present vs absent). Findings: Surprisingly, skeptical statements from a low-expertise source toward a prescription drug made while selling dietary supplements was found to have an insignificant effect on selling effectiveness (willingness to recommend and perceived product effectiveness). However, when a high-expertise source (doctor) did the same, selling effectiveness was reduced. Research limitations/implications: The paper identifies a boundary condition for competitive selling claims of dietary supplements. Doctors are likely to get away with claims regarding the efficacy of dietary supplements until they criticize a more credible prescription drug in favor of supplements. Practical implications: Claims made by a low-expertise sources and high-expertise sources in the act of selling dietary supplements must be carefully considered. Conventional wisdom tactics may be ineffective. Originality/value: This paper uniquely demonstrates the role of competitive skepticism at different levels of expertise. The findings of this study suggest that managers, in especially the multi-level marketing industry, should reconsider some of their selling tactics.

  • Consumers' Comparative Evaluative Judgment of Athlete Endorsers

    Shintaro Sato, Yong Jae Ko, Kyriaki (Kiki) Kaplanidou, Daniel P. Connaughton

    JOURNAL OF SPORT MANAGEMENT (IF = 1.25)   30 ( 5 ) 553 - 565  2016.09  [Refereed]

    Authorship:Lead author, Corresponding author

     View Summary

    The purpose of this study was to examine consumers' comparative judgment of athlete endorsers in back-to-back advertisement settings. Drawing on the inclusion/exclusion model (Schwarz & Bless, 2007), the authors argue that (a) a recently observed athlete endorser impacts consumer judgment of subsequently presented endorsers, and (b) the valence of the impact depends on brand category membership of the consecutively presented endorsers. A 2 (representative endorser activation: present vs. absent) x 2 (brand category membership: membership vs. nonmembership) between-subjects design was administered across three experiments. Results demonstrated that the presence of a representative endorser increased a subsequently presented endorser's perceived expertise when that subsequent endorser represented the same brand category. Results also demonstrated that the presence of a representative endorser decreased a subsequently presented endorser's perceived expertise when that subsequent endorser did not represent the same brand category. Overall, these findings support both assimilation and contrast effects. The authors argue how this outcome can assist advertising managers to strategically position appropriate endorsers in marketing platforms.

     View Summary

    Research question: The mass media widely broadcasts scandals. However, previous literature lacks examinations of consumer reactions to athlete scandals. Given the detrimental impact, it is important to understand how athletes and brand managers can optimally respond when scandals occur. The purpose of this study is to develop the fundamental understanding of consumer reactions and the effective response strategies in athlete reputational crisis (ARC) settings.Research methods: A three factorial (performance relatednessxintentionalityxinvolvement) experiment was conducted. One hundred ninety-three undergraduate students from a large university located in the southeastern United States participated in the experiment, with analysis based on 180 useful responses.Results and findings: The results indicate that high and low involvement spectators differ in their evaluations of scandalized athletes. The attitude of highly involved consumers is significantly more negative when ARCs are performance related and intentional. Low involvement consumers' attitude displayed a similar pattern, but only when they perceived ARCs as unintentional. Lastly, the results indicate consumers prefer rebuild response strategies (e.g. apology) in all ARC situations. Base strategies (e.g. explaining ARC situations) and sport-specific strategies (e.g. winning to make up) can be used to supplement in performance-related ARC situations.Implications: This study contributes to the fundamental knowledge regarding the potential impact of ARCs. Athlete brand managers can estimate the extent of impact based on ARC characteristics (i.e. performance relatedness and intentionality) and consumer characteristics (i.e. involvement). Furthermore, effective response strategies can be developed by examining the interplay between ARC and consumer characteristics.

     View Summary

    &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Although there have been numerous reports on decision-making process models attempting to explain various consumer behaviors, no study applying the decision-making process to sports training camps had been undertaken thus far. The purpose of this study was to clarify the decision-making process and to identify the decision-makers in high school and university sports teams. Aiming toward this objective, a semi-structured interview method was adopted. The respondents were from 12 sports teams that visited four cities in Niigata Prefecture. These teams were further broken down into eight university teams, one university club, and three high school teams. As a result, the decision-makers of the sports training camp were divided into two categories : the coach/advisers and the student leader/student in charge of the camp. The decision-making process was carried out by two groups: the groups asking travel agencies for proposals and the groups not asking for the same. Moreover, it was clarified that there were two factors influencing the decision-making process in the sports training camp. The first was the process of arranging and changing reservations in the sports training camp, and the second was the associations needed to be formed in order to reserve accommodations toward securing available sports facilities for the sports teams. Though the common prerequisite for attending the sports training camp was found to be circumstances that were amenable to training, certain differences between the groups were also revealed, and it was clarified that factors such as enthusiasm on the part of the sales person of travel agencies and the flexibility exhibited by the local organizer regarding the sports teams influenced the re-visit behavior. Contemplating these results and exploring the decision-making process carried out in the sports training camp, the decision-making process DAAR [comprising Desire, Association, Action, and Re-visit] was developed in this study.

  • Sport Tourists' and Sport Excursionists' Intention to Revisit:Focusing on the Perceived Value of Niseko Visitors

    Japanese Journal of Sport Management   1 ( 1 ) 19 - 31  2009  [Refereed]

    Authorship:Lead author, Corresponding author

     View Summary

    This study investigated sport excursionists&#039; and sport tourists&#039; revisit models by using the concept of perceived value. Petrick&#039;s (2002a) SERV-PERVAL model was employed in order to measure both sport excursionists and tourists&#039; value perceptions. This scale contains five factors, including emotional response, behavioral price, monetary price, quality, and reputation. The findings of this study show that the direct effect of perceived quality on intention to revisit was positive and significant only for sport excursionists. For sport tourists, the global construct of perceived value has the strongest effect on intention to revisit in the expected positive direction. Especially, reputation is the most significant factor that loads primarily on the second-order dimension of perceived value. When tourism managers consider attracting visitors for their revisits, it is important to provide quality experiences specifically for sport excursionists. On the other hand, emphasizing overall perceived value and obtaining splendid destination reputation is important for sport tourists.

     View Summary

    2021年度に計画していた主な研究の目的は、スポーツ参加(特にアウトドアスポーツ)と幸福感の関係を検証することであったが、長引く新型コロナ感染拡大防止措置のため、今年度も研究計画の微修正を余儀なくされた。スポーツ参加と幸福感の検証を次年度に行うこととし、今年度はオンライン調査を中心に、昨年度に引き続き観戦型スポーツと幸福感の関係を検証した。
    昨年度完了した研究では、スポーツ観戦により心理的資本が向上し、その結果として幸福感が向上することが示された。長引く自粛生活の影響を受けて、スポーツ消費者のストレスレベルも高まっていることが推察されるため、本年度の研究では、日常のストレスレベルの測定を追加して調査を行った。具体的には、オンラインアンケート調査を用いて、(1)プロスポーツが形作るコミュニティに対する人々の関与度と幸福感の関係を検証し、(2)その関係を「心理的資本」ならびに「日常のストレスレベル」が媒介するか調査した。その結果、心理的資本が幸福感にもたらすポジティブな効果は、日常のストレスレベルが低い方がより顕著であることが示された。このように詳細な心理的プロセスに入り込んだ研究は、より緻密な政策立案を検討する上で重要である。また、本プロジェクトは学術雑誌の投稿・受理も完了し、Frontiers in Psychologyにオンライン公開中である。参加型スポーツと幸福感の関係の検証についてはやや遅れているものの、観戦型スポーツと幸福感の関係の検証は、今年度の研究プロジェクトを通して概ね順調に進展したと言える。

  • バーチャル化したアウトドアスポーツ経験がもたらすウェルビーイングへの影響

    2023  

     View Summary

    アウトドアスポーツがもたらすウェルビーイング醸成効果に注目が集まっている。しかしアウトドアスポーツの参加には、地理的・環境的制約がある。つまり、特定の場所に時間と労力を費やして移動しなければならないため、参加自体の制約が大きいのである。そこで本研究では、アウトドアスポーツを手軽に楽しむためのバーチャル化に着目した。本研究ではデバイスを用いて360度動画を撮影したが、編集作業に想像以上の時間を費やしているため、現在も継続して作業中である。次年度は、先行研究の収集と整理ならびに360度動画の編集作業を進めながら、実験データの収集を行い、学術論文として発表するための準備中を進める。

  • 観戦型スポーツと幸福感の関係の解明

    2020  

     View Summary

    本研究助成は観戦型スポーツと幸福感の関係性のモデル開発・検証に役立てるため申請したものであるが、新型コロナウィルスの感染拡大を受けて、研究の方向性を修正した。新型コロナウィルスの感染拡大によって、大型施設で行うイベントの中止・延期を余儀なくされた事業者が多く存在する。一方で、開放的環境で行われるアウトドアスポーツ産業は追い風を受けている。そこで本研究助成はアウトドアスポーツへの参加と幸福感の醸成の理論的説明モデルの開発に充当した。具体的には、先行研究の収集と整理、専門家・研究協力者への聞き取り調査を実施した。2021年度に学術論文として発表するための準備中である。

  • 観戦型スポーツと幸福感の関係の解明

    2020  

     View Summary

    参加型スポーツと幸福感の研究に取り組むための研究環境を整えるために、本研究助成を活用させていただきました。新型コロナウィルスの影響で数々のスポーツイベントがキャンセルまたは延期を余儀なくされ、スタジアムやアリーナにおけるデータ取得の見通しが立たないため、研究の方向性を若干変更し、バーチャルリアリティ(VR)によるスポーツ経験が消費の幸福感にもたらす影響を探索することとした。今後は本研究助成により購入したVRデバイスを用いて研究を拡大していく予定です。
