여가능력모델(LAM)을 적용한 중년여성의 요가프로그램 참여가 여가태도 및 생성감에 미치는 효과

초록

Grounded in leisure ability model(LAM), we offered a yoga program to help middle-aged women become more physically active and healthy by increasing their leisure attitude and generativity. This study assigned middle-aged women into either experimental group(n=20) or control group(n=19). Then, we provided LAM-based yoga program for middle-aged women in the experimental group, while we did not provide all of it for middle-aged women in the control group. We adopted three-wave assessments(at the beginning, at the middle, and at the end) and used repeated-measure ANOVAs in order to examine the experimentally-based logitudinal effect of yoga program on LAM-based variables. The result showed that middle-aged women in the experimental group perceived higher leisure attitide level of cognition, emotion and behavior than those in the contral group. Also, experimental group perceived higher all generativity than control group. Following the effectiveness of yoga program, middle-aged women in the control group perceived themselves as more healthy and more vitalized/energized than those in the control group. Because we found that LAM-based yoga program increased positive leisure attitude and generativity. In the future, we hope to develop various yoga program based on theory and model.
