Study of Age and Gender Differences with Color Preference Approach in Primary School Students in Tehran And Khorasan Razavi

Creating a suitable environment for the growth and prosperity of students has always been one of the most important concerns of educational administrators. The aim of this study was to investigate the age differences with the color preference approach in primary school students in Tehran and Khorasan Razavi provinces by gender. The research design of the present study is descriptive and the type of research was survey. For this purpose, 607 children participated in the present study. The data were collected using colored cards. Data analysis was performed using multivariate analysis of variance and showed that the effect of gender and grade on all colors is significant in Tehran province but in Khorasan Razavi province these differences were observed only at the level of gender (p < 0/05). In both provinces, boys chose blue and girls yellow as the main color, and boys chose green and girls pink as the sub-colors. One of the limitations of the present study is the inability to study the color living environment of children as well as everyday issues that can play an important role in color preference. It is suggested that future research pay attention to these variables.
