As the cross-cultural dude on Tips,I would like to ask what is a super fan?
Is someone standing in line overnight to purchase an xbox more of an xbox
fanatic than the one who waits for a future purchase?
As to someone talking besides a friend and not getting attacked-it could be
that the person does not want to confront
the friend and the intruder at the same time or it could be that some prior
arrangement may have been made with the person already in line.
The nature of activity could also be critical.I did not care for U2,(
Iliked The Cure).
This study is limiting.Researchers kept on going to U2 concerts and did not
vary other stimulus conditions.Of course,I am aware that variation may not
have been possible.But again,there was an anthropologist on the research
team and that person should know the difference between emic and etic
variables -too many artifacts(no pun intended)
