Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the color response patterns of multicultural women and determine if there is a causal relationship between color response and self-differentiation. Factor analysis identified a seven-factor color response and regression analysis revealed a cause and effect relationship between color response and self-differentiation. Results are as follows: Gray-apricot pattern was negatively related to family projection and emotional cutoff. Black-brown pattern was significantly related, both positively and negatively, to all five self-differentiation areas. Indigo-green positively related to both inner mental functioning and family projection and negatively related to self-integration. Pink-light green was positively related with family regression and pink-blue was negatively related to family projection. Purple-white pattern was positively related to family emotional cutoff and family regression while light green-white was negatively related with inner mental functioning and family regression. Findings of this study provide compelling evidence that color response is a significant factor in understanding the self-differentiation of multicultural women. This, as well as implications for psychological therapy in practice to improve the level of self-differentiation are discussed.
