| description | This research aimed to study the effectiveness of art therapy as an intervention in addressing self-expression among introverted university students. This research has adopted a one-group pre-test post-test research design, recruiting 5 undergraduate students aged 20 to 22 years old (M = 21.000; SD = 1.000) through purposive sampling. The majority of the participants were female (n = 4; 80%), with male representing a smaller proportion (n = 1; 20%). This research was conducted in the premises of University Tunku Abdul Rahman, Kampar. UCLA Loneliness Scale (version 3), and Berkeley Expressivity Questionnaire (BEQ) were used to measure the changes in loneliness and self-expression. While a large effect size was observed in reducing loneliness (r = .867) and improving self-expression (r = -.867), the results did not achieve statistical significance (p > .05), possibly due to limited sample size and the lack statistical power. Nonetheless, this study provided insight for future research to further explore the use of art therapy in enhancing the mental well-being of undergraduate students with recommendations for a larger sample size. |
