Abstract

This study empirically analyzed the “effect of performing arts experiences on youth emotions” from an ecological perspective for teenagers attending middle and high schools across the country. To this end, the path model was first set as negative emotions and environmental variables that affect them (parent, teacher, friendship, school life). Next, in order to understand the effect of performing arts experience on negative emotions, we analyzed whether there was a difference in the path of the research model between the performing arts experience group and the inexperienced group through a structural equation modeling (SEM). Emotional problems of adolescents are generally expressed as behavioral symptoms such as aggression, depression, and social contraction, and the experience of performing arts has a moderating effect of relieving these negative emotions through various channels. In the performing arts experience group (n=203), the positive (+) effect of social contraction was weakened compared to the inexperienced group (n=204) . On the other hand, the negative (-) effect of teacher intimacy, friendship, and school adaptation weakened negative emotions was strengthened. The negative (-) effect of reducing negative emotions in parental affection was higher in the inexperienced group, which means that the inexperienced group in performing arts is more sensitive to parental affection. BR These results suggest that students who have experienced performing arts are experiencing a more organic personal development process while mitigating negative emotional formation through various channels from an ecological perspective compared to those who have not. Through this study, youth culture policy requires a long-term and stable support policy for adolescents and a paradigm shift in public education based on the pure function of culture and arts, and continuous research and attention from a long-term perspective are needed rather than short-term effectiveness research.
