Purpose: This study examined characteristics of colors and figures showing self-image in self-image drawing of students of beauty majors.
Methods: The researcher conducted a survey, receiving 186 completed responses. The students were made to freely draw figures showing their image with three colors. The results were analyzed by frequency analysis and cross-tab analysis, using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) v. 18.0.
Results: First, black (Bk) was the most-used color in the self-image, followed by vivid red (R), vivid yellow (Y), vivid yellow red (YR), bright Y, vivid purple blue (PB), and white (W); vivid being the most common tone. Second, from the analysis of self-image figure drawing, the results showed the use of nonobjective figures (32.3%), landscapes (18.3%), objects (17.2%), people (14.5%), plants (14.0%), and animals (3.8%). Third, cross-tab analysis for gender differences in self-image drawing showed that there is a meaningful difference in chromatic colors and figures between males and females. In addition, males tend to use R, PB, YR, and Y affiliations, whereas females tend to use Y, R, YR, red purple (RP), and blue (B) affiliations. In figure, males have non-objective figures, landscapes, objects, and people and females have non-objective figures, objects, plants, and people.
Conclusion: The self-images of students of beauty majors are expressed in colors, mainly active and attentive, and portray non-objective figures. Thus, they see themselves as having a free and enthusiastic image but are also confused and uncertain.
