The purpose of this study is to validate the Korean version of the Engagement Meaningful Activity Survey(K-EMAS) which modified and translated 12 items of the Engagement Meaningful Activity Survey(EMAS) developed by Goldberg, Brintnell, & Goldberg (2002). The data were collected from 315 questionnaires answered by older adults and were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 20.0. The reliability of K-EMAS was verified, and exploratory factor analysis and item-factor total correlation were conducted to evaluate the two-factor structure of ‘Exhibition of Individual Ability (5)’ and ‘Usefulness of Social Activity (7)’. The corrected two-factor model of K-EMAS was confirmed through fit Indices of confirmatory factor analysis, which proved its convergent validity and discriminant validity. In addition, K-EMAS was shown to have criterion validity by correlation analysis on Depression (CES-D), Quality of Life (WHOQOL-Breif), Meaning in Life (MIL), and the Attitudes to Ageing Questionnaire (AAQ). Validation of the Korean version of the scale (K-EMAS) for qualitative measurement of older adults’ activity has implications as basic research to support meaningful activities for older adults as well as to provide an instrument that could be used in related research fields.
