Many people enjoy attending sporting events because they enjoy the action, or perhaps they follow a particular team. Some may follow one team closely for a very long time – possibly their entire life. Unfortunately, sometimes a person’s long-term memory is limited in how much it can remember. You may have attended a football game 10 years ago, but you might not remember it very well. In addition, a game that you attended in person will have a bit of “added meaning” and you may want to document your experiences at that game.
As implied, those sports fans that enjoy attending games have a problem with tracking the events they have attended. I am assuming that most sports fans don’t already meticulously track games and highlights and lowlights of each game. Judging from conversations with fellow sports followers, I think this is a fair assumption to make. I’m also assuming that this is something that would provide value to fans, especially in the long-term. As I have witnessed first-hand friends unsuccessfully trying to recall information about games from a few years ago, I definitely believe that there would be value in this kind of system.
Currently, most people simply store memories in their mind. A benefit to this is being able to recall a piece of information off the top your head instead of needing to look something up. However, I hope to somehow transfer these memories to a more concrete source, available for lookup at a later point in time. I think the most important usability goals for this system would be efficiency (so that the process of storing the information is a quick one) and satisfaction (there would be no point to such a system if the user was not satisfied with its performance). A quality user experience go...

I predict that experienced users will give a higher feedback rating than new users, and that frequent users will give a higher rating than infrequent users. If these predictions turned out to be accurate, I would make a point to continue to emphasize to the users that the longer and more often they use the application, the more they will get out of it. I would be rather surprised if these results did not occur. However, it would be a pleasant surprise as the more usefulness one can get out of the system early, the more he or she will be satisfied. I would then dig deeper into this study and find out why it was just as helpful to the user early on, and then possibly make changes to the application if I felt it was needed for it to be more successful.
The first objective is involvement and before anyone can be referred in relation to property, he or she should have a high level of participation in a given sport. If an individual is not well informed about basketball and they have never been to a game, they will not identify with the teams to take part in the Final Four that may include Texas Southern University and University of Houston teams. There are two involvements that fans may have which are situational involvement and enduring involvement (Snipes & Ingram, 2007). To start with, enduring involvement refers to a situation whereby the fans closely watch a given sport, the results as well as the events that take place during the season. On the contrary, situational involvement refers to the situation whereby the fans have a heightened interest in the event owing to the circumstances. As a result, individuals that lack enduring involvement may have enduring
Sport fans, sometimes also called sport devotees, followers, or supporters, are persons who are enthusiastically devoted to a particular athlete, team or sport. They may show their enthusiasm by often attending sporting events or watch on television, being members of a fan club, follow sport news through newspapers, online websites, and creating fanzines. Their disposition is often such that they will experience a game or event by living through their favored players or teams. These behaviors manifest itself in different ways. To enable better understanding of these behavioral patterns, we have to classify these sports fans into groups based on their devotion to teams: fair-weather fans, bandwagon and the super-fans.
Studies used a mixture of measures and with different phrases to address the process or the outcome of patient satisfaction (Laith Alrubaiee, 2011).
The above questions are open-ended to enable the participants provide all-inclusive answers. Furthermore, systematic approach will be used in obtaining the required customer sample, which is 15 customers in this case. The customers will be randomly selected, whereby every 3rd customer will be asked to fill-in the questionnaire. The technique of systematic sampling was selected to ensure equal representation and accuracy of results by preventing biasness. In addition, ethical concerns will be considered. The representatives would be informed that their private identity will be concealed and that the study is entirely for the company. The representatives are also at liberty to withdraw from the study and will be provided with a written consent outlining the reasons for the survey.
One of the single greatest measurable facets of professional sports is attendance. A sport’s popularity is in direct correlation to the number of people that will show up to watch that sport. Overall 2000 regular season attendance in Major League Baseball was a record 72,782,013 in 2,416 games for an average per game crowd of 30,125 whereas official overall paid attendance in the National Football League for the 2000 season was 16,387,289 in 248 games for an average per game crowd of 66,077. The average per game crowd is the measurable statistic due to the fact that the number of games in a regular season for baseball and football are very different. A NFL team plays a regular season schedule of 16 game however a MLB team plays a regular season schedule of 162 games so average attendance per game presents an accurate picture of popularity. Therefore, football appears to be more than twice as popular as baseball when measured by ...
I will be looking at worker timeliness, agency reliability and worker timesheet compliance. After looking at those three elements, I will compare the consumer comfort level and overall satisfaction with surveys that were conducted in the past. The results from my survey will allow my agency to work with the in-home providers that had a low score, so that the consumers are satisfied with their services.
Human memory is flexible and prone to suggestion. “Human memory, while remarkable in many ways, does not operate like a video camera” (Walker, 2013). In fact, human memory is quite the opposite of a video camera; it can be greatly influenced and even often distorted by interactions with its surroundings (Walker, 2013). Memory is separated into three different phases. The first phase is acquisition, which is when information is first entered into memory or the perception of an event (Samaha, 2011). The next phase is retention. Retention is the process of storing information during the period of time between the event and the recollection of a piece of information from that event (Samaha, 2011). The last stage is retrieval. Retrieval is recalling stored information about an event with the purpose of making an identification of a person in that event (Samaha, 2011).
Memory is a powerful tool required for one to grow as an individual and gain knowledge. Memory is defined as “the power or process of reproducing or recalling what has been learned and retained especially through associative mechanisms” (Webster). One’s memory can be compared to a computer 's information processing system. When we need to remember an event, we gather the information into our brain, which is known as encoding, and then we store the information and are be able to retrieve it. There are many ways for one to improve their memory. Mnemonic device is a popular memory recall skill. “Mnemonics are memory devices that help learners recall larger pieces of information, especially in the form of lists like characteristics, steps, stages,
Everyone feels the need to belong. Some people find the answer to fulfill that need in sports. In the United States, the go-to sport is football. Following one’s hometown team or childhood NFL team through the regular season, playoffs, and hopefully, the Super Bowl has become a staple for today’s culture. Whether or not their favorite team makes it to the big Super Bowl game, they still find themselves cheering on one of the teams competing. T...
Today memory has become one of the key component which is used in all the sectors. If I design a memory aided product for the purpose of the remembering the names and recent events I will include a microphone and a memory chip and to which the words spoken by a user are saved in the memory. The technology that is used is the semiconductor memory in which a large amount information can be saved upon a small chip. This information needs to be retrieved when the user needs according to the date in case of events. It is better to incorporate a camera on one side of that
When you look at a basketball what do you see? Most would see an orange, sphere, shaped rubber ball. There are black lines and real leather. If you look closer, you would even see the size of the ball in which you are playing with. A basketball could be just a toy for many, or even represent a release for others, but for me, it means a lot more. A basketball represents my blood, sweat, tears, passion, sacrifice, and most of all, a sense of belonging, like a family. At this moment in my life, there are only three things I devote my life to- family, friends, and basketball. Basketball has shaped my life probably more than anything else. Basketball has instilled in me a vicious will to achieve and embrace my ambitions instead of fearing them. Basketball gave me an open opportunity to try something new. New opportunities and experiences are not such a big deal anymore. From academics to personal matters, the lessons that I have learned from basketball has impacted my life.
The founding father of the Olympic Movement, Pierre de Coubertin, referred to the sport record as having the same function in the ideology of Olympism as the principle of gravity in Newtonian mechanics (Loland 1995). The record was, so to speak, the eternal axiom of sport.
... together, sharing an emotional bond with people they may never see again. Sports can be a coping mechanism for many people as it simply helps them distress after a hard day in the office. Millions of sports fans across the world develop their schedules around their local team and work their routine primarily around being a fan knowingly or unknowingly. Sport often lures the fanatic out of the realm of reality into its own fairy tale like world, which is a primary finding in a majority of studies. It can also be observed that research can be conducted to include the emotional levels of attachment of sports fans when their teams are both in a successful and unsuccessful sphere, as there is a possibility the levels of emotional attachment differ in one fan itself in these two different scenarios, which may lead to a different perception of the term ‘sports fan’ itself.
