Analysis about the Continuous Participation Behavior of Dance for All Participants during the COVID-19 Pandemic by applying the Extended Health Belief Model

Abstract

Abstract Background: Based on EHBM theory, this study added the concepts of DFAP’s attitudes toward COVID-19 and perceived behavior control to the main components perceived susceptibility, perceived benefit, and perceived barriers. In addition, these factors intended to verify the continuous behavioral intention of physical activity through DFA by empirically analyzing the influence relationship of the EHBM by CA into media information exposure and personal information exposure for COVID-19. Methods:A survey was conducted on DFAP’s 665, who joined public sports facilities, academies, and clubs in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province in South Korea from August 2020 to February 2022. Data analysis was performed on Windows PC/SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 24.0 ver. frequency analysis, correlation analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the survey results. Results:First, PB a sub-factor of the EHBM of have a statistically significant (p<0.05) effect on CPB. Second, the sub-factors of EHBM, CA and AT, have a statistically significant (p<0.001) effect on CPB. Third, PBC have a statistically significant (p<0.001) effect on CPB. Conclusions:The results derived in the process of achieving this purpose are academically meaningful in that they present the direction of DFA activation in the 'New Normal Era' provide practical implications for related workers.
