ドイツのマックスプランク実証美学研究所が主導した研究によると、ダンスをする人は、ダンスをしない人よりも神経症的傾向が低く、協調性、開放性、外向性が高いことが示されました。この研究は、スウェーデンとドイツの5,435人と574人を対象に行われました。ダンサーはミュージシャンと同様に協調性と開放性が高いが、神経症的傾向は低いことが確認されました。また、ダンスのジャンルによって性格特性が異なることも示されました。例えば、スウィングダンサーはラテンやスタンダードダンサーよりもさらに神経症的傾向が低いことがわかりました。この研究は、将来的に他の文化やダンススタイルにも拡大される予定です。

ダンサーはノイローゼになりにくい(Dancers are less neurotic)

Highlights

  • Big Five personality profiles of dancers in two large representative samples
  • Dancers are more open, extraverted, agreeable, and less neurotic than non-dancers
  • Dancers and musicians share high openness, neuroticism differentiates them
  • Dancers and singers share high extraversion perhaps due to direct bodily expression
  • Inconclusive personality differences emerged for dance style choice

Abstract

Data on the personality of dancers is sparse, and existing studies generally use small samples and heterogeneous measures of personality across studies. We investigated Big Five personality profiles of dancers in two large representative samples from Sweden (n = 5435) and Germany (n = 574). Musicians have previously been found to be more open, agreeable and neurotic than control participants who were not performing artists. We hypothesized that professional dancers would also be more open and more extraverted than non-dancers. Further, we explored the personalities of dancers of different dance styles. Results showed that the personality of dancers is indeed more open, extraverted, agreeable, but less neurotic, than people who do not dance, and dance school entrepreneurs, who are both dancers and entrepreneurs, even more so. Thus, dancers and musicians share high levels of openness, while neuroticism differentiates them. Furthermore, dancers and singers share high levels of extraversion, perhaps reflecting that, in dancing and singing, the performers’ own body is the means of expression. Finally, some personality differences between dance styles were observed. Yet, these could be due to other factors than dance style choice; we discuss that these may reflect many factors, including musical genre preferences and social context.
