Description:
<jats:p>This study aimed to investigate to what extent the self-figure drawings of young adult Thais differ from the self-figure drawings of a matched Israeli group. The convenience sample consisted of 24 participants; 12 Israelis and 12 Thais were asked to draw themselves with a pencil on a sheet of A4 paper and add a narrative to the drawing. In addition, they were asked to draw how they are perceived by the other group. Analyses of variance were conducted within and between the groups of drawings. The results indicated significant differences in body size, body shape, and the addition of cultural symbols between the two groups. The differences in cultural values were discussed in light of the findings.</jats:p>
