Social psych in real life

 In sports compliance among players is applied in the aspect of how players must follow the standards and guidelines of positions of authority and the corporations (such as MLB, NFL, and NCAA). Some of these rules are not purposely harming other players, using profanity, and having the correct uniform/presentation of clothing during games. Players must adhere to these regulations, or they could get fined, suspended, or terminated from their positions. 

Obedience must be served from all the players as they are directed their coaches. They are suppose to do as their coaches say as they are the heads of authority. 

Social facilitation as seen in sports is when players tend to improve their efforts and play better as they are being watched. Having a full crowd of one’s fans and playing in the team’s town, players will be motivated to win and overall perform better than if they had a game in an empty, quiet crowd in at an away game. 

Group polarization is how when those with the same ideas and perspectives upon a topic can overall when together increase the pressure of their opinions. When fans of a rivalry team hate and talk bad about the other team their opinions become more extreme and emphasized.

 

Reciprocity norms is the social standard that when people do nice things to us it can influence our behavior for us to do something in return. In sports if the fans respect the space and decisions of players they hope to receive in turn the same attire and care from these players. An example would be fans talking to players when they are allowed to as it a sign of gratitude towards to fans to thank them for their support.
