In addition, inner motive was higher in those who had taken part in dance competitions many times. Second, with regard to self-efficacy according to the type of adolescents` participation in dance club activities, self-efficacy was not significantly different according to the adolescents` experience in dancing and their participation in dance competitions. However, self-efficacy was significantly higher in those who were very satisfied with dance club activities. Third, the sub-factors of dance club adolescents` inner motive showed a significant correlation with their self-efficacy. The correlation was high in order of physical desire, psychological desire, expression desire, and social desire, and these sub-factors explained 32.6% of confidence, one of the sub-factors of self-efficacy. Moreover, dance club adolescents` psychological desire and social desire explained 16.5% of regulation, another sub-factor of self-efficacy. As to the relation between the sub-factors of dance club adolescents` inner motive and competence, another sub-factor of self-efficacy, expression desire explained 25.6% of competence.
