A Study on the Quality of Sequent Dance Movement : The Changing Process of Psychological aspect of Dance

本研究的目的是探讨舞蹈动作对参与者自尊发展的有效性。本研究得出以下结论：通过Lox等人、Martin and Lichtenberger、Sonstroem和Fox等人的理论研究，提出运动对自我效能感、身体形象和自尊有影响。分为2个试验组和1个对照组。第一个实验组是42名大学生，他们由专业舞蹈教练教授一系列舞蹈动作；第二个实验组是26名自学的学生，他们通过观看视频片段学习相同的舞蹈动作；对照组是33名参加其他舞蹈课程的学生。结果表明，舞蹈体验对舞蹈动作质量的积极影响与自尊的积极影响有关。这可能表明，在练习舞蹈的同时提高舞蹈动作的质量，可能有助于提高参与者的自尊的某些方面。然而，舞蹈动作质量的变化与自尊之间的因果关系可能需要进一步的研究来验证。

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of dance movements for developing the self-esteem of the participants.The following conclusions were drawn by the study : It is suggested that exercise has the impact on the self-efficacy, body image, and self esteem through especially theoretical studies by Lox, et. al., Martin and Lichtenberger, Sonstroem, and Fox. There were two experiment groups and one control group. The first experiment group was 42 college students who were taught a sequence of dance movements by a specialist dance instructor, the second experiment group was 26 self-study students who learned the same sequence of dance movements by watching a video clip, and the control group was 33 students who participated in other dance classes.The results indicated that the positive change in the quality of dance movement through the dance experience was related to the positive change of self-esteem. This may suggest that practicing dance accompanied by improvement in the quality of dance movements may help improve certain aspects of self-esteem of the participants.However, further studies may be needed to verify a causal relationship between changes of quality of dance movements and self-esteem.
