ABSTRACT

This study investigated the structural relationships among philosophical values in Korean dance performance, artistic flow, and emotional well-being among dance majors. These philosophical values were conceptualized across three dimensions: the aesthetics of stillness and movement (Jeongjungdong), breath and embodied knowledge, and Shinmyeong and Salpuri. The study further examined how these dimensions influence emotional well-being, with artistic flow serving as the mediator. Participants comprised 276 undergraduate students majoring in Korean dance at four-year universities in Seoul and the metropolitan area. Data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.1. Results indicated that philosophical values exerted significant positive effects on both artistic flow and emotional well-being. Artistic flow partially mediated the relationship between philosophical values and emotional well-being. These findings provide empirical evidence that philosophical values embedded in Korean dance function as psychological mechanisms linking artistic experience to emotional well-being.
