A Study on the Effects of College Cosmetology Majors Participation in Beauty Care Volunteer Activity and Self-esteem on Satisfaction with Their Major and Educational Achievements

This study conducted a questionnaire survey to determine the effects of college level cosmetology majors’ participation in beauty care volunteer activities and self-esteem regarding satisfaction with their academic major and educational achievements. For data analysis, a total of 350 questionnaires were distributed. Twenty-six poorly answered ones samples were thrown out and 324 copies were chosen for analysis. Cross-tabulation analysis, t-test and multiple regression analysis were conducted, using SPSS 11.0. The results found the following: First, according to analysis of differences among satisfaction with academic major (cosmetology) by motivation in participating in beauty care volunteer activities, and satisfaction with activities and educational achievements, a significant difference was found in satisfaction with academic major (F=5.167, p<.01). Second, according to analysis on the effects of self-esteem on satisfaction with academic major and beauty care volunteer activities and educational achievement, a significant effect was observed in satisfaction with academic major and beauty care volunteer activities. In satisfaction with beauty care volunteer activities, statistical significance was found in satisfaction with academic major (cosmetology) (β value=.240, t-value=4.436, p<.001) while academic major satisfaction and beauty care volunteer activities had a significant effect on academic achievements. Therefore, if beauty care volunteer activity programs are linked with cosmetology in a way to increase college-level cosmetology majors’ perception of educational achievements, better results are expected in academic major satisfaction and educational achievements.
