Domain involvement. Some individuals may show interest in a particular
sport genre, in addition to their interest with a specific team. Fisher and
Wakefield (1998) find empirical support for their argument that the personal
relevance of a particular object, situation, or action is an important
dimension in the development of identification with a particular group. This
personal relevance is labeled domain involvement, and refers to a particular
field rather than a particular group or groups. Lascu et al. (1995) found
individuals that rate highly on golf-involvement differ from individuals
rating low on golf-involvement with regard to commitment to the game of
golf..
