The purpose of this study was t investigate the effects of dance for all program which was developed with intent to determine the life satisfactions and psychological attitudes of old adult after performing the program. The dance for all program consists of four components: walking, folk dance, stretching and meditation. Four hundred eighty five four components: walking, folk dance, stretching and meditation. Four hundred eighty five subjects were recruited for this experiment form three different areas(big city=262, small city=194, rural area=29), they were all volunteers.
For this experiment, Yun Jin's(1982) modified satisfaction questionnaire was used to monitor subjects' life satisfaction and psychological attitude changes after changes after performing exercise program. The modified questionnaire contained 20 items which was administered just before and after performing the program. Repeated-measure analyses indicated significant main effects and interactions fro the spouse, residence and disease variables. The results of this study revealed that subjects who had any kinds of disease tended to show more positively changed attitudes(life satisfaction and psychological) than subjects who had no disease after performing the program.
The findings also indicated that subjects who were living in the rural area showed more positive psychological changes than those of subjects in the big and small city. The results of this study also demonstrated that subjects not having disease and living in the rural area showed more positive changes that the subjects having disease and living in the big and small cities.
it is believed that subjects who were living in rural area may not have previous exercise activity experiences such as dance and aerobic exercise, thus subjects participated in this program with a great enthusiasm which may induce positive attitudes after performing the program. based on this experiment, it suggests that researchers who want to do this type of study should apply an exercise program to old men as well as old women. In addition, to determine how a developed exercise program influences one's psychological attitudes, it is recommended to have a control group (using any type of exercise) to compare to the developed exercise program.
