  • Source 1: After controlling for a wide range of factors that might also influence teams’ decisions — including teams’ general propensities for risk-taking, time left in the game, score, week of the season, yardline and yards to go, the relative ability levels of the teams (determined from ESPN rankings), and whether the teams were in the same conference or division — we found that rivalry between teams predicted greater risk-taking.[1]
  • Source 2: Across a series of experiments and an archival study, we found that rivalry was associated with over-reporting of performance, deception, and unsportsmanlike behavior. Further, we observed that merely thinking about a rival was enough to increase unethicality.[2]
  • This article seems to have been moved into mainspace to replace a redirect on 4th December. As such, it is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and Earwig did not bring up anything untoward. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:10, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
