Abstract
Introduction: With the ongoing increase in public investment in elite sports, the significance of public acceptance cannot be overlooked. However, there is limited information on public attitudes and acceptance of elite sports policies. The purpose of this study is to investigate the key factors affecting the public acceptance of elite sports policies.
Method: The research sample included Latin documents and articles published in the period of 2015-2023. These articles were extracted from reliable information sources such as PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Taylor Francis. After the process of adjusting the studies according to the entry and exit criteria, 24 documents were analyzed as a sample. To improve the transparency of the report and improve the quality of the evidence, the reporting guide (eMERGE) and the partial quality tool of Wash and Devon (2006), which is designed to objectively evaluate the quality of the studies, were used. This research approach made it possible to provide a comprehensive and deep view of the key factors effecting in the general acceptance of elite sports policies.
Results: Analyzing the themes of the documents identified 3 key clusters, i.e. social achievements, social risks, and quality of communication (along with 19 secondary themes) as comprehensive fields and a basis for public acceptance of elite sports social policies.
Conclusion: In order to implement policies related to elite sports, the necessary knowledge of its general acceptance fields can be a useful step in the successful implementation of elite sports policies by the government.
