Abstract
This study conducted a meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness of dance movement therapy programs in South Korea. We selected 58 studies from 2005 to January 2022 that met specific criteria, such as degree theses and pre-post experimental design. The overall effect size, calculated using a random-effects model, was found to be substantial at 1.43. We found that the programs targeting males and older adults had the highest effect size, those explicitly incorporating a theoretical approach showed better results, and there were no significant differences based on dependent variables. Additionally, programs with 16 to 20 participants, 10 to 14 sessions, and session durations of 60 to 90 minutes demonstrated the most significant effect sizes. This research provides valuable insights into the development and operation of dance movement therapy programs in South Korea.
