SAMPAIO, Jaime e JANEIRA, Manuel. Home advantage in team sports: a review on Basketball according to the model of Courneya and Carron. Rev. Port. Cien. Desp. [online]. 2005, vol.5, n.2, pp.235-246. ISSN 1645-0523.
Home advantage is one of the most determinant factors in basketball games final outcome. In this review, we identify and discuss questions gathering the theories (territoriality, social facilitation and perceived social support) and game location factors (crowd, facility familiarity and travel effects) that seem to explain home advantage. Additionally, we present the available literature regarding critical psychological and behavioral states in game intervenients (players, coaches and referees) originated by home advantage perception. Our focus is mainly on basketball game statistics that differentiate teams performance in home and away games. Despite the available quantity, research is not consensual and suggests that these statistics depend upon the context of each analysed sample.
