Підсумок	The Sport Spectator Identification Scale (SSIS) is a seven-item self-report measure of how strongly a fan psychologically identifies with a particular sports team. Daniel Wann and Nyla Branscombe introduced it in 1993 in the International Journal of Sport Psychology, grounding it in social identity theory: a fan who identifies with a team incorporates that team into the self, so the team's successes and failures are experienced as the fan's own. The scale asks respondents, with reference to a team they name, how important it is that the team wins, how strongly they see themselves as fans, how closely they follow the team, and related questions, each rated on an eight-point Likert format and summed into a single identification score. Because team identification predicts a wide range of fan behaviors and well-being outcomes, the SSIS became the standard short instrument for measuring it and the workhorse of decades of sport fan research.	The Team Identification-Social Psychological Health (TI-SPH) model, proposed by Daniel Wann in 2006, explains why identifying with a sports team is associated with better psychological well-being. Its central claim is mediational: team identification does not improve well-being directly but does so by fostering social connections, which in turn support social psychological health. A fan who identifies with a team gains a ready-made social group, shared rituals, and a sense of belonging, and it is these connections — not the team's results — that yield the well-being benefits. Wann's model, published in Group Dynamics, drew on social identity theory and his earlier work measuring identification, and it made a crucial distinction between identification with a local team, which can produce enduring social connections, and identification with a distant team, which tends to produce only temporary ones. The framework reframed sport fandom from a potentially trivial or maladaptive pastime into a documented source of social-psychological benefit.
