🧠 Cognitive Psychology Telemetry & Behavioral Multipliers
  • Collective Effervescence (Émile Durkheim): Co-present cheering triggers synchronized vagal stimulation, replicating ancestral tribal bonding rituals.
  • BIRGing vs. CORFing: High belonging lets fans "Bask In Reflected Glory" during wins while buffering losses through communal commiseration.
  • Loneliness Inversion: Shared emotional stakes create micro-affiliations that significantly suppress chronic cortisol and elevate baseline subjective well-being.
