ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to examine and understand the effects of humanities introspection activities and attitudes on vitality, anxiety-depression, and anger related emotions in the elderly and college and university students. The number of participants in the survey conducted for this study was 149 college students in their 20s and 147 people in their 60s or older. As a result of the analysis, the elderly demonstrated a higher level of humanities introspection activity than college students, and there was no statistically significant difference in the humanities introspection activity and attitude towards the introspection between men and women. The correlation between the two variables of humanities introspection activity and attitude towards introspection was higher in women than in men and in the elderly than in college students. According to the humanities introspection activity and attitude towards introspection, both the elderly and college students could be classified into upper, middle and lower classes. Comparing the mood states between the upper and lower groups, vitality was clearly different between the three groups, and anxiety and depressive emotions were clearly different between the upper and lower groups. It turned out that the humanities introspection tendency (activity and attitude) had an effect only on vitality emotions, and it was also found that there was a relationship with anxiety-depression and anger related emotions in older women. Among the college and university students, the humanities introspection activities and introspection attitude help to explain vitality emotions very well, and their explanatory power is similar. However, the most influential factor varies according to gender. In the case of male students, it turned out that the humanities introspection attitude had a greater effect on vitality than the humanities introspection activity. The explanatory power of the humanities introspection tendency (activity and attitude) on the vitality of the elderly turned out to be somewhat higher in males than in females, and the most influential factor was humanities introspection activities for both men and women. As for the anxiety-depression and anger of the elderly, it turned out that the humanities introspection attitude had a positive effect only on the elderly women. The results of this study suggest that it is necessary to develop a humanities program for improving the emotions customized for each generation and gender which reflects differences in the humanities introspection activities and attitude of the elderly and college and university students.
