The purpose of this study is to set the focus on constructed characters via dance performance so it can be established within character and conceptualized ‘artistic character’ for structurization. The subjects were participated in the study, who major in dance (Korea traditional dance, Morden dance, Ballet) in high schools and colleges around Seoul and Gyeonggi area, for open questionaries 40 people, for in-depth interviews 4 people, for exploratory factor analysis(EFA) 260 people, for confirmatory factor analysis(CFA) 279 people, for difference and correlation verifications 520 people. The results are shown.
First, through open standards and in-depth analysis, the artistic character that is recognized by dance major students was started with total 19 preliminary topics and reorganized into 9 factors secondly, which were persistence(21/20%), responsibility(23/21.9%), confidence(6/5.7%), concentration of learning(4/3.8%), endeavor(7/6.7%), self-control(11/10.5%), emotional regulation(11/10.5%), and open-mindedness(11/10.5%). The 9 topics were classified into 2 factors structure with application of Lickona's that emotional regulation and open-mindedness into moral character, and rest of other 7 factors into performance character.
Secondly, the results of analysis of artistic character factors in psychological measurement via exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis showed extraction of 5 factors with Cronbach'a=.929 and named creativity, endeavor, courage, concentration of learning, emotional intelligence. The outcome of confirmatory factor analysis showed IFI=.923, TLI=.909, CFI=.922, RMSEA=.068 so the structure is fairly accepted. Also The outcome of unidimensionality showed IFI=.917, TLI=.905, CFI=.916, RMSEA=.070 so the structure is fairly accepted.
Lastly, the artistic character showed significant differences (p<0.05) depends of careers, especially courage(p=.007) and concentration of learning(p=.012). Also the results of correlation between 5 artistic character factors and the harmonious passion in dance passion as a motivate factor showed significance (p<0.01).
Researchers have been maintained their opinion that art, which is a field of the emotional education, has positive effect on one’s development of character and purify personal emotion, so this study explained about theses opinions with artistic character. This study is a outcome of countenance to researchers' contention that dance performance can construct good personality, and can be desirable fundamental information when dance is used for the education of personality from extraction of developable character factors through dance performance. Also various further studies are expected because of conceptualization of artistic character and scale from the outcomes.
