Q

Neville et al.

A

Method:
- 11 semi professional referees viewed 52 tackles/challenges from a televised football match of which 26 were made by the home player and 26 were made by the home player and 26 made by the visiting player
- half the referees observed the video of these events in the presence of background crowd noise while the other half observed the video with no background crowd noise
Results:
- noise of the crowd influenced observers to award fewer fouls against home players, and more fouls against away flayers when compared with the groups receiving only visual stimulus
this result was echoed by the match referee
