“…Waitt(2003)also drew on social exchange theory to affirm that residents who perceive improvements totheir social and economic well-being (i.e., positive legacies) as a consequence of hosting an event tend to evaluate the event as positive. Gursoy and Kendall (2006) noted that many other sport event investigations (e.g., Delamere, Wankel, & Hinch, 2001;Fredline & Faulkner, 2001;Fredline, Jago, & Deery, 2003) had their theoretical basis in social exchange theory, as they assumed that individuals are likely to have positive attitudes toward an event if they believe they will gain some benefits in the relationship with organizers and local governments. Based on the literature, we argue that residents of Brazil will support the sport mega-events in the country, if they perceive positive legacies will be derived as a consequence of the hosting process.…”

“…As community leaders and festival organizers become more conscious of the needs and priorities of the community, they can better respond to community con- cerns and work together to maintain an appropriate balance between the social benefits and social costs that resulting from community festivals (Delamere et al 2001). The findings of the study contribute to deeper understanding of resident attitudes toward the social impacts of community festivals and can be utilized by the organizers to increase the social benefits generated by the festival and reduce its negative social impacts.…”

“…The questionnaire used in this research was based on the Delamere scale (Delamere et al 2001), which was modified and shortened for the purposes of a more efficient interviewing. The questionnaire used in this research consists of two parts (Internet 3).…”

“…The proposed model in this study has its conceptual and theoretical basis in social exchange theory and is developed from previous studies that focus on measuring psychological impacts for a hosting mega-sporting event (Delamere, 2001;Delamere, Wankel, & hinch, 2001;Fredline & Faulkner, 2001;Fredline, Jago, & Deery, 2003;Gursoy & Kendall, 2006;Jurowski, Uysal, & Williams, 1997) Specifically, these studies implied social exchange theory to explain the perceptions of possible direct or indirect impacts through mega-sporting events, which may depend on how local residents evaluate the exchanges in which they are involved.…”

“…To develop the survey, there were two pilot data collections to test specific aspects of the questionnaire. The primary basis for the initial item pool came from a similar study of perceptions of a women's professional golf event (Lee et al, 2009) as well as additional items from other studies of residents' perceptions of mega-events (Delamere, 2001;Delamere et al, 2001;Fredline & Faulkner, 2001;Fredline et al, 2003;Gursoy et al, 2002;Gursoy & Kendall, 2006;Milnthorp, 2002;Winters, 2004). The items developed from this literature review were measured on a 7-point Likert-type scale to assess the level of agreement to statements pertaining to perceived impact of a mega-sporting event.…”
