Measuring the Motives of Sport Event Attendance: Bridging the Academic-Practitioner Divide to Understanding Behavior (2009, neutral): “Diversion highlights previous motives of escape and fantasy (Funk et al., 2004; Madrigal, 2006; Trial & James, 2001; Wann, 1995).”
Revisiting the host city: An empirical examination of sport involvement, place attachment, event satisfaction and spectator intentions at the London Olympics (2016, background): “However there have been few attempts to reveal the relationship between involvement and satisfaction and future intention (Lee & Beeler, 2009) especially in the context of spectator sport (Funk et al., 2004).”
Looking at Gender Differences through the Lens of Sport Spectators (2006, neutral): “In addition, support of sport opportunities and role model are two factors that have recently evolved from studies specific to women’s sport (Funk et al., 2002; 2003; 2004) and have been largely ignored by other studies on sport consumers.”
An Examination of the Motivation—Involvement Relationship (2006, neutral): “For example, Funk et al. (2004) observed positive associations but not all motivation dimensions had a statistically significant influence.”
Antecedents of Tourists’ Loyalty to Mauritius (2012, background): “However, this multidimensionality remains the subject of much debate in the leisure and recreation field (Funk, Ridinger, and Moorman 2004).”
The Travelling Fan: Understanding the Mechanisms of Sport Fan Consumption in a Sport Tourism Setting (2007, neutral): “This variable correlates with Wiley et al.’s (2000) ‘self expression’ concept, and is not far from the attraction, self-expression, centrality to lifestyle, and risk model derived by Funk et al. (2004).”
Can service quality predict spectators' behavioral intentions in professional soccer? (2008, background): “There are more variables, such as fan identity, fan motivation, and brand associations (Funk et al., 2004; Mahony et al., 2002; Robinson et al., 2004) that in the case of the spectator consumer are likely more important factors for the prediction of spectators’ repurchase intentions than service qua”
Divided Loyalty? An Analysis of Fantasy Football Involvement and Fan Loyalty to Individual National Football League (NFL) Teams (2011, background): “Both constructs have been heavily-researched and welldocumented as vital determinants of sport consumer behavior (Backman & Crompton, 1991b; Funk & James, 2006; Funk et al., 2004; Park, 1997; Pritchard et al., 1999); however, neither had been examined in the context of fantasy sports.”
Segmenting Winter Sport Tourists by Motivation: The Case of Recreational Skiers (2009, result): “This proposition has been empirically verified by recent studies in the leisure literature ( Funk, Ridinger, & Moorman, 2004 ; Iwasaki & Havitz, 2004 ; Kyle et al, 2006 ).”
International Sport Event Participation: Prior Sport Involvement; Destination Image; and Travel Motives (2007, background): “The attitude-based nature of the PCM framework offers an appropriate vehicle to examine motivation (Funk et al ., 2004) and overcomes the limitations of most research that fails to place findings within a larger theoretical context (Kyle & Mowen, 2005).”
