AB - The aim of this study is to identify how different types of background music (silence, children’s songs, classical music and gospel hymns) influence children's personality development and painting expressions. The subjects included 80 children, no older than 5 years, who go to childcare centers operated by christian institutions in Seoul. They were assigned to four different groups of 20 each: the silence group, the children’s song group, classical music group and the gospel group. The study topics were as follows: 1) how different types of background music affect the personality development (i.e., basic habits, self-identity, sense of community, sociality, physical development); 2) how different music types affect the painting expressions on the representation, exploration and art levels; and 3) if personality attributes are represented in paintings that are different by music types. The study was conducted in the order of preliminary research, subject selection, pre-test, experiment, post-test, and result analysis. The result is as follows: first, in the examination of how different music types influence children’s personality development, the gospel group scored higher in the post-test of basic habit development than in the pre-test, showing a statistically significant difference. Second, the post-test of self-identity development of the gospel group also scored higher than the pre-test and thus showed a statistically significant difference. Third, the children’s song and gospel groups delivered a meaningful difference in the development of the sense of community, while the other two groups showed no significant difference. Fourth, no significant difference was found with regard to the physical development in all groups. Fifth, the children’s song and the gospel groups scored higher in sociality development than the silence or the classical music groups. Sixth, in the examination of how different music types influence children’s painting expression, none of the groups showed a significantly different result in the test of the representation level. Seventh, the classical music and the gospel groups showed a statistically meaningful difference in the test of the exploration level, with the average score of tenth test higher than the first one. This indicates that classical music and gospel have effects on the exploration level of children’s painting expressions. Eighth, with regard to the art level of the painting expressions, there was no significant difference between the silence, the children’s song and the gospel groups. Only the classical music group showed a significant difference, with the average score of tenth test higher than the first one. This shows that the classical music influenced the art level of children’s painting expressions with a statistical significance. Ninth, with respect to the personality attributes identified in the painting expression made different by music types, 6, 6 and 11 personality attributes were found in the children’s song, the classical music and the gospel groups respectively. This study confirmed that different music types influence children’s personality development and painting expressions. Gospel affected the development of children’s basic habits, self-identity and the sense of community and sociality, while children’s songs influenced their sociality and sense of community. With regard to the painting expressions, gospel influenced the exploration level while classical music influenced the exploration and art levels. Such result shows that gospel has positive effects on personality development of children.
