Abstract :
Objective: The aim of the present study is "to study the effective sociological factors on the hooliganistic behavior of football spectators in Iran's Premier League". Hooliganism defined the abnormal and tense behaviors that occur before, during, and after exciting football matches between spectators and fans and by mobs or rioters (hooligans) in the audience group. In this research, hooliganism has been explained and investigated from different biological, psychological and sociological dimensions. The current research method is quantitative in terms of application and cross-sectional in terms of time. Methodology: The sampling method is random and the sample size of the research is due to the lack of specific statistics on the number of hooligans and spectators who appear as hooligans in football-related sports gatherings. 393 questionnaires were collected by random sampling method. SPSS software was used for data analysis. Results: Processing, statistical analysis of information was done using descriptive and inferential statistics (frequency distribution tables, correlation tests, multivariate regression and path analysis). The findings of the research showed that emotional discharge (0.423), mental illness (0.462), feeling of failure (0.249), feeling of youth and masculinity identity (0.382), sense of social belonging (-0.257), relative deprivation (0.379), adherence to reference groups (-0.289), social isolation (-0.267), adherence to deviant patterns (0.611), media consumption (0.176), social responsibility (269) There is a significant relationship between spectators and hooliganism. Conclusion: Processing, statistical analysis of information was done using descriptive and inferential statistics (frequency distribution tables, correlation tests, multivariate regression and path analysis). The findings of the research showed that emotional discharge (0.423), mental illness (0.462), feeling of failure (0.249), feeling of youth and masculinity identity (0.382), sense of social belonging (-0.257), relative deprivation (0.379), adherence to reference groups (-0.289), social isolation (-0.267), adherence to deviant patterns (0.611), media consumption (0.176), social responsibility (269) There is a significant relationship between spectators and hooliganism.
