摘要：The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability of the Greek version of the Participation Motivation Questionnaire (PMQ) and to investigate the reasons which drive Cypriot people to participate in taught seminars of Cypriot traditional dance. The sample consisted of 251 individuals aged 15-60 (Μ=29.13±10.6). The analysis of the results based on a factor analysis procedure from the statistical software SPSS revealed four factors, with a) “social recognition and popularity”, b) “to discharge boredom and appearance”, c) “exercise and health” and d) “satisfaction from team spirit and the improvement of physical condition” as the main reason for participating in traditional dancing groups. No statistically significant differences were noticed based on gender and education level. The results of this research are consistent with the common reasons for participation in seminars of the Cypriot traditional dance.
