Any single competition is rarely a “one-off” event, and instead is often part of a larger sequence of related competitions. Thus, we contend that, in order to better understand people’s competitive experience, we must take a more holistic view where their experience and behavior in the present is a function of their past and expected future outcomes. This research expands the temporal lens of competition by examining how past outcomes (i.e., winning vs. losing streak) and future expectations (i.e., underdog vs. favorite standing) collectively influence an actor’s cognitive and affective reactions to a competition, with implications for their willingness to transgress. Studies 1 (Fantasy Football managers) and 2 (the English Premiere League teams) show that streaks and underdog vs. favorite standing interact to predict competitive transgressions: winning streaks increase transgressions for underdogs, and losing streaks increase transgressions for favorites. Studies 3 (public defenders) and 4 (Democrats and Republicans) experimentally manipulate streaks and standing and unpack the cognitive (i.e., outcome uncertainty) and affective (i.e., excitement for underdogs, anxiety for favorites) mechanisms that precipitate these transgressions. Theoretical implications for the competition literature, as well as managerial insights, are discussed.

不断上升的失败者和下滑的最爱:最近的连胜和未来的期望如何推动竞争违规

任何单一的比赛很少是“一次性的”赛事,而是通常是一系列相关比赛的一部分。因此,我们认为,为了更好地了解人们的竞争经历,我们必须采取更全面的观点,即他们现在的经历和行为是他们过去和预期未来结果的函数。这项研究通过检查过去的结果(即,连续获胜与连续失败)和未来的期望(即,失败者与最喜欢的地位)如何共同影响演员对比赛的认知和情感反应,以及对他们的影响,从而扩展了竞争的时间视角。愿意越轨。研究 1(梦幻足球经理)和 2(英超联赛球队)表明,连续上垒和失败者与最喜欢的站位相互作用可以预测竞争违规:连续获胜会增加失败者的违规行为,而连续失败会增加热门人的违规行为。研究 3(公设辩护人)和研究 4(民主党人和共和党人)通过实验来操纵连续性和站立性,并解开促成这些违规行为的认知(即结果不确定性)和情感(即,对失败者的兴奋,对最爱的人的焦虑)机制。讨论了竞争文献的理论意义以及管理见解。对最爱的焦虑)促成这些违规行为的机制。讨论了竞争文献的理论意义以及管理见解。对最爱的焦虑)促成这些违规行为的机制。讨论了竞争文献的理论意义以及管理见解。
