The purpose of this study was to understand the relationships between the demographic and behavioral characteristics with commitment and participation frequency of the elderly ballroom dance participants. A total of 180 questionnaires were distributed to elderly ballroom dance participants in dance studios and dance halls in Taichung, Taiwan between August to October 2011. There were 173 questionnaires in return (response rate 83%). The data collected were evaluated using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and regression. The results are as follow: 1. There were no gender differences to sport commitment of elderly ballroom dancers, but personal investment was shown to be more significant than that of sport enjoyment which was contradictory to previous researches (Scanlan, Carpenter, Schmidt, et al., 1993, Wilson et al., 2004). 2. The effects of participation pattern were significant on sport commitment, personal investments and involvement opportunity. 3. The effects of participation type were significant on personal investment. Participants who participate in both types of dance (modern and latin) showed significance on personal investment. 4. Sport commitment was predicted by sport enjoyment, involvement opportunity, and social constraints. 5. The behavior of elderly ballroom dancers was shown to be significantly related to the overall sport commitment.目　次 I.INTRODUCTION ……………………………………………………1 　　　Need for the study……………………………………………3 　　　Purpose of the study…………………………………………4 　　　Research Questions…………………………………………6 　　　Definition of Terms……………………………………………6 II.REVIEW OF LITERATURE ………………………………………7 　　　The Quest to stay “fit” for Elderly 　　　Adults …………………………………………………………7 　　　　The Importance of Physical Fitness 　　　　for Elderly Adults……………………………………………7 　　　　Cultural Influence on Physical Activity …………………8 　　　History of Ballroom Dancing ………………………………10 　　　　History of Ballroom Dancing in Western 　　　　Society ……………………………………………………10 　　　　History of Social Dancing in China ……………………10 　　　　History of Social Dancing Evolution 　　　　in Taiwan …………………………………………………12 　　　Society and its Connection to Ballroom 　　　Dancing ………………………………………………………13 　　　　Benefits of Ballroom Dancing……………………………15 　　　The Sport Commitment Model ……………………………17 　　　　The beginning of the Sport Commitment 　　　　Model………………………………………………………17 　　　　The Determinants of the Sport 　　　　Commitment Model………………………………………18 　　　Modification of the Sports Commitment 　　　Model…………………………………………………………21 III.METHODOLOGY…………………………………………………27 　　　Framework……………………………………………………28 　　　Sample ………………………………………………………30 　　　　Population…………………………………………………30 　　　　Sampling Techniques……………………………………30 　　　Instrumentation………………………………………………31 　　　　Content Validity……………………………………………31 　　　Data Collection ………………………………………………32 　　　Data Analysis…………………………………………………32 　　　　Descriptive Analysis ………………………………………32 　　　　T-test and one way ANOVA………………………………32 　　　　Multiple Regression and Bivariate 　　　　Regression…………………………………………………33 IV.RESULTS …………………………………………………………34 　　　Descriptive Analysis …………………………………………35 　　　　Gender………………………………………………………35 　　　　Age …………………………………………………………38 　　　　Education Level……………………………………………38 　　　　Monthly Income……………………………………………38 　　　　Occupational Status………………………………………38 　　　　Years of Participation……………………………………39 　　　　Participation Type (Dance Types)………………………39 　　　　Hours of Participation per Week ………………………39 　　　Validity and Reliability Analysis……………………………40 　　　　Exploratory factor analysis………………………………40 　　　　Internal consistency………………………………………40 　　　T-test and One-Way Analysis of Variance ………………45 　　　　Gender………………………………………………………45 　　　　SCM (Determinants analysis)……………………………45 　　　　Age …………………………………………………………46 　　　　Income………………………………………………………48 　　　　Education Level……………………………………………50 　　　　Occupational Status………………………………………52 　　　　Type of Dance………………………………………………54 　　　　Years of Participation ……………………………………56 　　　　Time Spent per Week ……………………………………58 　　　Multiple Regression…………………………………………60 　　　Bivariate Regression ………………………………………62 V.DISCUSSION………………………………………………………65 　　　Summary of findings…………………………………………65 　　　Implications …………………………………………………68 　　　Limitations and Recommendations for 　　　Future Research………………………………………………69 　　　　Limitations …………………………………………………69 　　　　Measurement Issues………………………………………69 　　　　Recommendations for future research…………………70612356 bytesapplication/pdf　;　;　Sport Commitment;Ballroom Dance;Elderly Peoplethesis
