| Abstract | We examined whether the psychological needs fulfilled by group membership predicted fanship (identification with a fan interest) and fandom (identification with other fans) among anime fans. Selfidentified anime fans completed measures of fanship and fandom, as well as measures assessing the psychological needs met by their participation in the anime community. The results showed that there are similarities and differences between male and female anime fans in the needs met by fandom participation. Furthermore, these differences in fulfilled needs predicted differences in fanship and fandom scores. However, overall, there existed few differences between male and female anime fans in motivation to engage with the anime fandom. |
