Abstract
The current research was designed to test the hypothesis that there is no s ignificant relationship between people's identification of themselves as sp ort fans and trait aggression. 70 participants were asked to complete the S port Fandom Questionnaire to assess their fandom and the Buss-Durkee Hostil ity Inventory to assess their trait aggression. As expected, no significant relationship between fandom and aggression was found.
