Young Florianis from Totzenbach receive their emergency clothing!

Psychology of being a fan

While new fire brigade members are being welcomed in Totzenbach, psychology is devoting itself to an equally exciting but completely different topic: the identification of sports fans with their teams. A current research program is dedicated to the psychological impact of being a fan, including questions such as: How does a team's performance affect the well-being of its spectators? Aggressive behavior of fans and how they deal with defeats are also examined. This research reveals interesting facets of human behavior that often go unnoticed, as in the analysis of the emotional state of fans, which is reflected in their supportive behavior.
