ABSTRACT

This research aimed to investigate adult ballet education in Korea by observing its relationship with positive psychology attributes. Participants included 230 adult females who received over three years of adult ballet education with the Vaganova Method, which highlights artistry. The questionnaire in this study related to how ballet education pertains to the positive psychology of Seligman, and to satisfaction, motivation, and changes that occurred after participants began training. Overall, the questionnaire showed high average scores; the highest average score was for the question on continuous participation in ballet sessions. The correlation analysis showed that positive psychology and ballet education were strongly related, based on which we concluded that we can understand and cause positive change to an individual’s psychological environment through ballet education. Participants’ written responses were placed into four categories: yearning for ballet (self-esteem), muscle formation (active lifestyle), classical music (understanding the body), and music and dance (psychological energy). The data illustrate that adult ballet education in Korea may prompt positive psychology by enhancing factors such as relationships, interests, confidence, and daily energy. The study proves that health and artistic skills may be gained through ballet education, a useful form of art for people in modern society.

摘要

本研究旨在通过观察其与积极心理属性的关系来调查韩国的成人芭蕾舞教育。参与者包括 230 名成年女性，她们接受了三年多的成人芭蕾舞教育，采用强调艺术性的 Vaganova 方法。本研究中的问卷涉及芭蕾舞教育如何与塞利格曼的积极心理相关，以及参与者开始训练后发生的满意度、动机和变化。总体而言，问卷显示平均分较高；平均分最高的是关于持续参加芭蕾舞课程的问题。相关分析表明，积极心理学与芭蕾舞教育密切相关，基于此，我们得出结论，我们可以通过芭蕾舞教育了解个人的心理环境并对其产生积极的改变。参与者的书面回答分为四类：对芭蕾的向往（自尊）、肌肉的形成（积极的生活方式）、古典音乐（了解身体）以及音乐和舞蹈（心理能量）。数据表明，韩国的成人芭蕾舞教育可能会通过增强人际关系、兴趣、信心和日常能量等因素来促进积极心理。该研究证明，通过芭蕾舞教育可以获得健康和艺术技能，这是一种对现代社会的人们有用的艺术形式。古典音乐（了解身体），以及音乐和舞蹈（心理能量）。数据表明，韩国的成人芭蕾舞教育可能会通过增强人际关系、兴趣、信心和日常能量等因素来促进积极心理。该研究证明，通过芭蕾舞教育可以获得健康和艺术技能，这是一种对现代社会的人们有用的艺术形式。古典音乐（了解身体）、音乐和舞蹈（心理能量）。数据表明，韩国的成人芭蕾舞教育可能会通过增强人际关系、兴趣、信心和日常能量等因素来促进积极心理。该研究证明，通过芭蕾舞教育可以获得健康和艺术技能，这是一种对现代社会的人们有用的艺术形式。
