“…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.…”

“…These studies favor results that support the anticipated outcomes of the organization. While these economic impact studies are often conducted to support political perspectives of the planning and development of mega-sporting events (Gursoy & Kendall, 2006), relatively limited research has been carried out to discuss residents' psychological support.…”

“…hosting mega-sporting events require considerable investment of human, financial, and physical resources from host communities; thus, a lack of coordination and support from host city residents may cause problems in planning and preparing for hosting a sporting event (haxton, 1999). Faulkner (2001), hiller (1990), and Gursoy and Kendall (2006) have suggested that there are several important reasons why it is necessary to conduct background research so that an understanding of psychological support from local residents can be gained. First, local residents are often asked to vote for increasing tax to financially support for constructing or renovating infrastructure and facilities.…”

“…As Crompton (2004) suggests, a sporting event is an investment in emotional infrastructure and provides benefits to communities in addition to economic impacts. It is also suggested that conducting psychological impact studies would be an effective way to influence local residents positively and provide more legitimate underpinning for public support of hosting mega-sporting events (Gursoy & Kendall, 2006). hosting mega-sporting events require considerable investment of human, financial, and physical resources from host communities; thus, a lack of coordination and support from host city residents may cause problems in planning and preparing for hosting a sporting event (haxton, 1999).…”

“…Third, local residents' support and involvement are likely to increase the longevity of positive impacts on the local community. Fourth, understanding that local residents' support is related to residents' reaction to an event, efforts could be made to minimize negative impacts (Fredline & Faulkner, 2001;hiller, 1990;Gursoy & Kendall, 2006).…”

The purpose of the current study was to assess local residents' psychological support prior to hosting a mega-sporting event and to report preliminary results as to which factors of support affect local residents' attitudes toward hosting future mega-sporting events, using the case of the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis. This study provides a theoretical model to examine local residents' psychological support factors using structural equation modeling, which helps the understanding of local residents in the process of supporting the hosting of mega-sporting events in the future. The results of this study indicate that the perceptions of positive outcomes from the event have the strongest relationship to feelings toward hosting future events. Therefore, governing bodies of the host community and the event should rely most heavily on the positive outcomes. While the negative factors were not as strongly related, they were still significant indicators of feelings toward future events. The part of the plans pertaining to growing community support should include ways that the negative impacts might be mitigated.

Major street events, such as carnivals, offer a unique opportunity for destination experience value co‐creation by participants which relates directly to the destination image. This study uses service‐dominant logic (SDL) to consider the effects of event co‐creation on destination image from the point of view of a participatory process rather than from an outcome perspective. Drawing from a sample of 400 street event participants in the Patras Carnival in Greece, it examines the complexity aspects of co‐creational experience and its influence upon the destination image of the host city. Those aspects are examined by means of fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis. The findings revealed three sufficient configurations (co‐creational involvement and satisfaction; co‐creational event image; experience‐satisfaction nexus) that could affect the destination image of the host destination. The paper contributes to the theoretical body of experiential co‐creational approaches to destination image with clear managerial implications for both event organizers and destination managers.
