急テンポ音楽に伴う自由躍動的舞踊の気分に及ぼす効果―琉球舞踊「カチャーシー」の効果に関する研究―

抄録

The present study aims to determine how dancing gives effects on the mood of the dancers where the performed dance is a free dynamic one accompanying high speed music called Kachasii dance. The subjects were 181 college students, 83 women and, 98 men A three-way factorial design was used where the variables were Dance (dance, non-dance), Sex (female, male), and Cultural Congruence (high, low). The mood state was measured with POMS (McNair, et al). Main findings were as follows: 1) Performance of Kachasii dance significantly raised vigor mood scores. There was, however, a three-way interaction among the variables, suggesting the complexity of the manner in which dancing gives effects on the mood state. 2) There was a significant Dance x Cultural-Congruence interaction as assessed in terms of Tension, Depression, Anger, and Confusion mood scores respectively. Students from outside Okinawa scored lower under Non-Dance condition than Dance condition as assessed in terms of these measures, while Okinawan students obtained lower scores under Dance condition. In other words, not dancing Kachasii led to lesser Tension, Depression, Anger, and Confusion for students from outside Okinawa (low Cultural-Congruence), whereas the same dance brought about reduction in the same measures for Okinawan students (high Clutural-Congruence). This interaction may be attributed to individual differences in familiarity with, or affinity to, Kachasii as part of folk culture 3) Dancing Kachasii definitely brought about increase in vitality and decrease in tenssion for, at least, Okinawan subjects who are familiar with it. Kachasii, thus, can be expected to enrich the mood of those who may become familiar with it as part of folk culture and give themselves a chance to engage in its performance.
