댄스 동아리 활동에 참여한 청소년의 중독 현상과 정서와의 관계

Abstract

This study examined the relation between exercise addiction and emotion in 165 adolescents who were participating inr dance club activities, and drew conclusions as follows. First, with regard to the relation between exercise addiction and the pattern of participation in dance club activities, according to experience in dance club, exercise addiction was significantly more frequent in adolescents with dance experience of `three years or longer` than in those with experience of `less than a year.` According to satisfaction with participation, exercise addiction was significantly more frequent in adolescents who replied `Very satisfied` than in those who replied `Little satisfied`, According to experience in dance competitions, exercise addiction was significantly more frequent in adolescents who participated in dance competitions `three times or more a year` than in those without experience in dance competitions. Second, with regard to the relation between emotional difference and the pattern of participation in dance club activities, according to experience in dance club activities, emotional difference was larger in those with dance experience of `1~3 years` but the difference was not statistically significant. According to satisfaction with participation, emotional difference was significantly larger in adolescents who replied `So-so` than in those who replied `Very satisfied` and according to experience in dance competitions or presentations, emotional difference was significantly larger in adolescents without such experience than in those who participated in dance competitions or presentations `once or twice a year` or `three times or more a year.` Third, in the results of multiple regression on adolescents` addiction to dance club activities and their emotion, a high correlation was observed between addiction and emotion. In addition, exercise addiction appeared to have explanatory power to emotion, and emotion was affected significantly by the sub-factors of addiction `focus on health,` `strong desire,` `withdrawal symptom,` and `interpersonal relation` in their order. With the transition of dance culture over time, adolescents are participating in various dances voluntarily and actively, and creating adolescent-specific cultural society that is even contributing to the globalization of Korean culture. Because excessive absorption and addiction may have a harmful effect on emotion, however, guidance is required for adolescents` participation in dance activities.
