요약	The Psychological Continuum Model (PCM) is a conceptual framework, introduced by Daniel Funk and Jeff James in 2001, that organizes an individual's psychological connection to a sport, team, or activity along a vertical hierarchy of four stages: awareness, attraction, attachment, and allegiance. Rather than treating fans as either involved or not, the PCM describes how connection deepens as sport-related mental associations grow more numerous, stronger, and more resistant to change. At awareness an individual simply knows a sport or team exists; at attraction they develop a preference driven by hedonic and dispositional needs; at attachment the object becomes internalized and meaningful to the self; and at allegiance the connection is durable, biased, and resistant to counter-persuasion. Funk and James later elaborated the meaning of attachment and how it converts into loyal allegiance, making the PCM a foundational organizing theory for sport consumer behavior research.	The Sport Commitment Model explains why people keep participating in a sport by treating commitment as a psychological state -- the desire and resolve to continue -- that is produced by a small set of measurable determinants. Introduced by Tara Scanlan and colleagues in 1993, the model proposes that commitment rises with sport enjoyment, personal investments, involvement opportunities, and social constraints, and falls as attractive alternatives to involvement increase. Each determinant is a latent factor measured by self-report items, and commitment itself is a latent outcome predicted by their combination, making the model a structural account of motivation that can be tested with questionnaires and structural equation modelling. Because commitment in turn predicts persistence, the model links the psychology of why athletes stay engaged to the behavior of actually continuing to take part.
