Abstract

Football is a highly popular sport with a large supporter base in Indonesia, including Lamongan. Fanatical supporters may display aggressive behavior, both physically and verbally, particularly when their favored team loses. This study aimed to examine the relationship of fanaticism and emotional maturity with aggressive behavior among Persela Lamongan supporters. A quantitative correlational design was employed. The population comprised 16,000 supporters, with a sample of 340 respondents selected using purposive sampling. The instruments included an aggression scale (reliability = 0.867), a fanaticism scale (0.915), and an emotional maturity scale (0.893). Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that higher fanaticism combined with lower emotional maturity is associated with increased aggressive behavior among supporters. Accordingly, psychological interventions are needed to reduce aggression and strengthen emotional regulation within supporter communities.
