The purpose of this study was to describe how the volunteers who participated in the Nagano Olympic Games think about their own activities. Data was gathered from questionnaires obtained from one thousand and sixty-four volunteers in the Nagano Olympic Games. The data was analyzed by a process known as principal component analysis. (1) The volunteers describe mental reward, value of life, mental conditions, behavioral conditions, social contribution and personal criticism. These were six factors extracted as the major images of their own activities. (2) They considered mental reward, value of life, mental conditions, behavioral conditions and social contribution positively where as they reacted against personal criticism. (3) Scores of mental reward, value of life and mental conditions were higher in males than in females. (4) Scores of mental reward, mental conditions, behavioral conditions, social contribution and personal criticism related to their age. The younger generations image score higher on mental reward and personal criticism. The older generation think they need good behavioral conditions in order to receive social contributions. These results would be useful in training and preparing for volunteers.
