This study aimed to investigate any significant gender difference between elementary school students'
self-efficacy and their Person In the Rain drawings, and further to investigate if the degree of elementary
school students' self-efficacy has any significant influence on their Person In the Rain drawings. The
participants for the study were a total of 338 children in the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade at two elementary
schools in the city of Jeju. The instruments were a self-reported questionnaire measuring the self-efficacy
and Person In the Rain drawings. A t-test and chi-square analysis were conducted on the data using the
SPSS WIN 12.0. The findings are as follows. First, no significant gender difference was found between male
and female students' self-efficacy. Second, as with the Person in the Rain drawings, significant gender
differences in dealing with their stress were found in the 9 variables including the amount of rain, intensity
of rain, intensity of wind, contact of rain on the person, quality of lines, lightning counts, muddle counts,
muddle sizes, and shades. The analysis of the participants' Person in the Rain drawings found significant
gender differences in their defences against the rain in the three variables including the existence of direct
protection, the properness of the protection, and facial expressions. Third, the higher self-efficacy group
showed less amount of rain, weaker wind, steady line quality, faces blocked by the protection, and the
existence of the sun as compared with the low self-efficacy group.
