Group display - studies

Marsh (1978) 

Football hooliganism is the human equivalent of 'ceremonial conflict' in animals and involves trials of strength over territory. 

Cialdini et al (1976) 

After a university football team had performed well, students were more likely to wear university scarves and sweaters - 'basking in reflected glory'. 

Neave and Wolfson (2003) 

Found that football teams playing at home were far more likely to win than the visiting team partly because players have the benefit of a huge surge in testosterone before the match. They believed this could be due to an evolved drive to defend home territory. 

Pollard and Pollard (2005) 

The relationship with crowd sir is unclear as the advantage had been shown to operate even with very small crowds.
