Abstract
This study targeted the mental health of adult golf-exercise participants who have self-management problems and exercise -addiction. The researcher clarified how much influence self-management problems and exercise-addiction have on the mental health of these participants, depending on the participation rate factor, and understanding and examining the reasons causing self- management problems and exercise-addiction of golfers.
For the purpose of this study, the researcher chose those who golf at indoor and outdoor driving ranges located in the Dae-jeon area.
A total of 456 questionnaires were used for the final study and each questionnaire consisted of questions including demographic variables, 6 general questions, 18 self-management questions (5 body management behavior questions, 5 relation management questions, 4 training management questions, 4 mental management questions), and 16 exercise addiction related questions (8 dependence on exercise questions, 7 preoccupation with exercise questions, 9 desire for exercise questions) and 28 mental-health questions (10 anxiety disorder questions, 9 depressive disorder questions, 9 somatizing syndrome questions).
Primary data analyses were frequency analyzed to find out general aspects of golfers, exploratory cause analysis to verify the reliability and validity of the preliminary and main research, Cronbach's α, one-way ANOVA to conduct specific study and resolve pre-set questions, and linear regression analysis to verify the consequence.
Through this research method and procedure, the following conclusion was drawn.
First, there was a difference in the self-management, exercise-addiction and mental-health among the sex in golf-exercise participants. In other words, The self-management(body management, relation management, training management, mental management), exercise-addiction(dependence on exercise, preoccupation with exercise, desire for exercise) for males is higher than for females. but, the mental-health(depressive disorder, somatizing syndrome) for females is higher than for males.
Second, there was a difference in the self-management abilities among the participation rate factor(participation frequency, participation period, participation intensity) in golf-exercise participants. In other words, when the participation frequency is higher, the participation period is longer, and the participation intensity of high self-management level is higher.
Third, there was a difference in the exercise-addiction among the participation rate factor(participation frequency, participation period, participation intensity) in golf-exercise participants. In other words, when the participation frequency is higher, the participation period is longer, and the participation intensity of high exercise-addiction level is higher.
Fourth, there is difference in self-management abilities among different Golf levels (average score) in golf-participants. In other words, the higher the Golf level (average score) is the higher the self-management level is.
Fifth, there was a difference in exercise-addiction among different Golf levels in golf-participants. In other words, the higher the Golf level is the higher the exercise-addiction level is.
Sixth, self-management abilities in golf-participants partially affect aspects of mental-health. In other words, self-management abilities partially affect aspects of anxiety disorder, depressive disorder, somatizing syndrome.
Seventh, exercise-addiction in golf-participants partially affects aspects of mental-health. In other words, exercise-addiction partially affects aspects of anxiety disorder, depressive disorder, somatizing syndrome.
