Survey Data on Choreographic Participation and Emotion in South Chinese Football Fans

South Chinese professional football fans were studied using a mixed-methods design. The dataset includes results from field observations, 18 in-depth interviews, and a subsequent quantitative survey of 342 devoted fans. It was authored by Yuanmei He and last updated on 2026-04-29.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between choreographic participation and social identity based on the developed Choreographic Participation Scale.
• Analyzing pathways to emotional catharsis and well-being based on the structural equation modeling results.
• Testing Turner's theory of ritual drama in modern contexts based on the conceptual framing of the stadium as a liminal space.

Strengths

• Includes a validated 5-item Choreographic Participation Scale (CPS) derived from confirmatory factor analysis.
• Quantitative survey sample size of 342 devoted fans provides a basis for statistical analysis.
• Mixed-methods design combines qualitative insights from 18 interviews with quantitative modeling.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the South China sampling frame.
