Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the continuous behavior of dance-for-all participants through regression analysis. For study subject, middle-aged women participating in the dance-for-all in the region of Gangwon-do were set as the population, and a total of 355 copies was collected and 317 copies were used in the final analysis. Data processing was conducted using SPSS Windows ver 22.0 program to perform frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis. As the results of the analysis, first, in stage 1 of Hierarchical Regression Analysis, continuous behavior was shown to become heightened the longer the participation period in the dance-for-all had been. Second, in stage 2 of Hierarchical Regression Analysis, psychological satisfaction, relaxation & physiological satisfaction, and environmental satisfaction among the subfactors of leisure satisfaction were shown to have positive effects on continuous behavior, however, participation period was excluded from the explanatory variable. Third, in stage 3 of Hierarchical Regression Analysis, psychological satisfaction, relaxation & physiological satisfaction, environmental satisfaction, and exercise efficacy of self-efficacy were shown to have positive effects on continuous behavior. Further, it was confirmed that relaxation & physiological satisfaction is the most important factor. For Middle-aged women participating in the dance-for all, feeling healthy and being satisfied with relaxation is likely linked with the will and behavior that lead to continuous participation in the future above any other educational or social values. From now on, participating in the dance-for-all will be established as an even meaningful leisure activity and lifetime sport for the middle-aged women.
