Area of Science:

Psychology
Art Therapy
Personality Assessment

Background:

Understanding the connection between creative expression and psychological states is crucial.
Collage work offers a unique medium for non-verbal self-expression.
Previous research has explored art as a reflection of personality, but specific links in collage remain underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the relationship between personality traits and specific characteristics within collage artwork.
To determine if different personality types manifest distinct features in their collage creations.
To explore potential correlations between psychological assessments and visual elements in collage.

Main Methods:

Seventy undergraduates completed the Yatabe-Guilford (YG) personality test.
Participants then created a piece of collage work.
Characteristics of the collage work were analyzed in relation to YG personality scores.

Main Results:

No significant differences were found across general Yatabe-Guilford (YG) personality types.
Emotional adaptation and introversion/extroversion scores correlated with the number of cuttings used.
General activity scores were associated with the use of vehicle pictures.
The inclusion of an eye picture suggested tendencies towards depression and low confidence.
Use of a "stone circle" picture indicated higher emotional adaptation and extroversion.

Conclusions:

Specific personality traits appear to be reflected in distinct characteristics of collage work.
Collage analysis may offer insights into psychological states and personality dimensions.
Further research can validate these findings and explore therapeutic applications.
