“…Fans have more control over information on their favorite teams and players than ever before (Wakefield & Bennett, 2018). Developing communication and information technologies has thus offered a new way for supporters to interact with their favorite athletes and clubs (Shadmanfaat et al, 2020).…”

“…Various forms of social media platforms—whether they be websites, mobile applications, or various hybrid forms—are used by sports organizations, college athletes, and professional athletes to raise interactivity levels among sports fans (Billings et al, 2017). Although some scholars contend that social media are excellent channels for fostering relationships with sports fans, other scholars hypothesize that these online channels can increase the probability of deviant behaviors such as cyberbullying (Shadmanfaat et al, 2020), fanaticism (Alshehri, 2016), and online aggression (MacPherson & Kerr, 2019; Mudrick et al, 2016; Sanderson, 2013). Fans’ anonymity and accessibility to their favorite pages can increase cyberbullying perpetration (Shadmanfaat et al, 2020).…”

Fans’ anonymity and accessibility to their favorite pages can increase cyberbullying perpetration (Shadmanfaat et al, 2020). For example, online fan–athlete interactions can provide an opportunity for fans to send harmful comments of a sexual, physical, emotional, or discriminatory nature directly to athletes (Kavanagh et al, 2016).…”

“…Fans often use fake usernames and perpetrate cyberbullying against rivals with whom they do not have a previous relationship (Barlett, 2015; Barlett et al, 2017; Camacho et al, 2018; Resett & Gámez-Guadix, 2017). Hence, although fans view social media platforms as the optimal medium for sharing their positive and negative feelings with other fans, players, and sports figures (Stavros et al, 2014), the increased opportunities for interaction online are likely to raise the possibility of aggressive behaviors (Alshehri, 2016; Shadmanfaat et al, 2020).…”

“…Shadmanfaat et al (2020) reveal that roughly 30% of their Iranian sample had a history of cyberbullying perpetration. In Iran, verbally and physically aggressive behaviors are accepted as an integral part of sports fandom (Shadmanfaat et al, 2020).…”

Parenting practices have direct effects on children’s moral development and delinquency. A growing empirical literature also documents the influence of morality on offending patterns. Yet, our understanding of the interrelationships among parenting practices, morality, and cyberbullying is limited. This study contributes to and extends this line of research by examining the extent to which moral emotions mediate the relationship between parenting practices and sports fans’ cyberbullying. We used a sample of 384 Iranian high school students from the 35th Boys Sports Olympiad Tournament in Shiraz, Iran. The results from structural modeling analysis show that both parenting practices and moral emotions are associated with the likelihood of sports fans’ decision to perpetrate cyberbullying and that moral emotions mediate the association between parenting practices and cyberbullying. The robust and consistent patterns of the results signify the importance of parenting and moral development in curbing the problem of cyberbullying.

This study examined mechanisms that influence romance fraud perpetrators' public display of affluence, an aspect of romance fraud research that has received little attention in the literature. The study collected data through semi‐structured interviews with eight offenders from two Ghanaian cybercrime hotbeds and three law enforcement officials, using a qualitative research approach based on the critical realist paradigm. Data analysis was performed using thematic analysis, which revealed that the social environment, peer influence, links with high‐net‐worth individuals (upper structure clientelism), the involvement of social media and collaboration with some corrupt state officials all had a substantial influence on cybercriminals' public display of wealth. Furthermore, upper structure clientelism shows systemic flaws in financial institutions that must be addressed in order to reduce online romance fraud. The significance of social media in fostering public displays of wealth emphasises the importance of education and awareness initiatives as preventative measures. To effectively prevent online romance fraud, law enforcement should prioritise interagency cooperation and transparency among governmental institutions.

The current study examines the actions of Michael Scott, self‐proclaimed “World's Best Boss”, to determine how he communicates leadership on The Office. Using Northouse's (2020) definition of leadership, Scott's behavior is content analyzed to establish his particular message transmission tendencies. Further, given Scott's unique management style, George's (2003) dimensions of authentic leadership are used to code Scott's behavior as Scranton's regional manager. Based on a quantitative coding of shows, two main findings are advanced. First, Scott's leadership prioritizes verbal over nonverbal messages. Second, Scott's approach to leadership emphasizes the authentic dimensions of close relationships, clear purpose, and a caring heart most often with his employees. Scenes from The Office are identified that validate these findings and feature authentic leadership theory in action. Pragmatically, the current research offers trainers, managers, and teachers a resource for educating trainees and students on the role of verbal and nonverbal messages in leadership as well as a tool for developing authentic leadership in others.
