THE INFLUENCE OF TRADITIONAL PHILOSOPHY ON DANCE PERFORMANCE: A CROSS-CULTURAL STUDY OF PSYCHOLOGICAL MECHANISMS IN CHINESE AND KOREAN DANCERS

Abstract

RESUMEN Antecedentes: La filosofía de Wang Yangming en China y la teoría Seongxue en Corea enfatizan la unidad de mente y cuerpo, la auto-cultivación y la armonía entre el individuo y la naturaleza. Estos principios filosóficos pueden influir en el estado psicológico de los bailarines y en la calidad de su rendimiento. Objetivo: Este estudio analiza cómo la cognición filosófica tradicional afecta el rendimiento de la danza a través de los roles mediadores del estrés en la danza, la implicación en la danza y la autoeficacia. Además, examina las posibles diferencias culturales entre estudiantes de danza de China y Corea. Métodos: Participaron un total de 450 estudiantes de danza (225 de China y 225 de Corea). Los datos se analizaron mediante Modelado de Ecuaciones Estructurales (SEM) para probar las relaciones hipotéticas entre las variables en un contexto intercultural. Resultados: Los resultados muestran que la cognición filosófica tradicional predice positivamente el rendimiento de la danza al reducir el estrés y aumentar la implicación. El estrés tiene un efecto negativo significativo en el rendimiento, mientras que la implicación y la autoeficacia funcionan como mediadores entre la filosofía tradicional y los resultados de rendimiento. Se observaron diferencias culturales significativas en las vías psicológicas entre los dos grupos. Conclusiones: Este estudio ofrece evidencia empírica para integrar conceptos filosóficos tradicionales en la educación en danza. Los resultados destacan la importancia de abordar la gestión del estrés y fomentar la motivación para mejorar el rendimiento y apoyar métodos de formación culturalmente adaptativos.

ABSTRACT Background: Chinese Wang Yangming’s philosophy and Korean Seongxue Theory both emphasize the unity of mind and body, self-cultivation, and harmony between the individual and nature. These philosophical principles may influence dancers’ psychological states and performance quality. Objective: This study investigates how traditional philosophical cognition affects dance performance through the mediating roles of dance stress, dance engagement, and performance self-efficacy. It also examines potential cultural differences between Chinese and Korean dance students. Methods: A total of 450 dance majors (225 from China and 225 from Korea) participated in this study. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test the hypothesized relationships among variables within a cross-cultural context. Results: The findings indicate that traditional philosophical cognition positively predicts dance performance by reducing dance stress and enhancing dance engagement. Dance stress has a significant negative effect on performance, while dance engagement and performance self-efficacy serve as mediators linking traditional philosophy to performance outcomes. Significant cultural differences were observed in the psychological pathways between the two groups. Conclusions: This study provides empirical evidence for integrating traditional philosophical concepts into dance education. The results highlight the importance of addressing stress management and fostering motivation to improve performance and support culturally adaptive training approaches.
