Abstract

The purpose of study was to examine the physical self-conception and psychological well-being of elderly women participating in senior aerobics. The subjects of this study were 193 people in the elderly welfare center and seniors participating in senior aerobics in the northern part of Gyeongido (Uijeongbu, Yangju, Dongducheon, Pocheon). The survey tool used the physical self-concept scale developed by Kim Byung-Joon(2001) and the psychological well-being scale developed by Hwang Young-Joon(2009) as a questionnaire. The 5-point Likert scale was used. The collected data were analyzed by One-way ANOVA, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The results of this study were as follows ; First, there was no difference in age, physical self-concept and psychological well-being according to general characteristics(age, exercise duration, frequency, intensity). Second, the correlation between physical self-concept and psychological well-being was positively correlated. Third, physical self-concept is related to psychological well-being. Among the sub-factors of physical self-concept, appearance and overall physical factors influenced sub-factors of psychological well-being. The physical self-concept of elderly women who participated in senior aerobics partially affected psychological well-being.
