This study was carried out to investigate the color preferences, images and beauty behaviors in a middle school students located in Chonnam. This survey was conducted from April to May, 2010.
The completely answered 274 questionnaires were used for statistical analysis. The results of the study can be summarized as follows. First, in the results of color preference research there are overlapping patterns between preferable colors and dislike colors. This seemingly comes from the comparatively small tendencys to specific color and the socio-cultural characteristics of our comtemporaries. Second, in the findings of color image inquiry the span of association word is generally limited to express their concrete and abstract images. That is to say they have a distinct tendency to image the feeling very vaguely and to express frequently the image of the school life, school uniform and nature. I think this results are mainly caused by the limitation that this survey is definited to those surveyed who are studying in the country middle school. Third, this survey shows that there are so definite correlation between the color preference and hair dyeing color that exact understanding of color will help the enhancement of beauty behaviors. Conclusively, I expect the active exposure of colors and the color beauty education will help the young aged students to have the proper beauty behaviors.
