초록

This study examined the characteristics of self-drawings by Taiwanese and Malaysian Chinese preschoolers. The 104 participants comprised four- and five-year-old Taiwanese (n = 54) and Malaysian Chinese (n = 50) children with comparable sociodemographic backgrounds. The self-drawings were analyzed quantitatively in three aspects: basic figure elements, emotional expression, and visual appearance. There were three primary findings: (1) regarding basic figure elements, the Taiwanese children were more likely to draw larger figures with more facial details; (2) regarding emotional expression, the Malaysian Chinese children were more likely to draw neutral emotion: and the Taiwanese children tended to draw positive emotion; (3) regarding visual appearance, the Taiwanese children emphasized on drawing more clothing items with more diverse colors, whereas the Malaysian Chinese children tended to draw more decorative accessories. The results are discussed in relation to the cultural differences in local values and conventions, and the implications of the results are proposed.

Abstract

The self-drawings were analyzed quantitatively in three aspects: basic figure elements, emotional expression, and visual appearance. There were three primary findings: (1) regarding basic figure elements, the Taiwanese children were more likely to draw larger figures with more facial details; (2) regarding emotional expression, the Malaysian Chinese children were more likely to draw neutral emotion: and the Taiwanese children tended to draw positive emotion; (3) regarding visual appearance, the Taiwanese children emphasized on drawing more clothing items with more diverse colors, whereas the Malaysian Chinese children tended to draw more decorative accessories. The results are discussed in relation to the cultural differences in local values and conventions, and the implications of the results are proposed.
