Li, Chunxiao, and Chee Keng John Wang. "Effect Of Exposure To Special Olympic Games On Attitudes Of Volunteers Towards Inclusion Of People With Intellectual Disabilities." Journal Of Applied Research In Intellectual Disabilities 26.6 (2013): 515-521. Academic Search Complete. Web. 20 Oct. 2015.
I found my first secondary source through the UK library database. This source is about a study done to “examine the effect of volunteering for Special Olympics Games (SOG) on the attitudes of volunteers towards inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities” (Li 1). The results of this study were that if volunteers were exposed to one week of Special Olympics Games then their attitudes towards including people with intellectual disabilities would improve greatly. The conclusion of this study was that the effect of one week exposure would last for up to one month.
This source is useful to my project because it supports the idea of how being involved in Special Olympics is beneficial to both the athletes and the volunteers. I also believe that if people knew more about Special Olympics volunteering opportunities and the positive things that come out of it, then more people would be willing to volunteer and donate. This article covers some important points that I discussed in my photo essay and I found it interesting that there was a study done on how the volunteers are affected opposed to the athletes by Special Olympics Games.
