The person image of the drum majorette
type: CreativeWork
description: This study focuses on how drum majoretting may influence the person image of the adolescent girl. An attempt was made to determine or investigate the influence of relationship formation on the person image and whether drum majoretting influences relationship formation. The researcher also investigated the influence of drum majoretting on the person image. The fact that different concepts are used to describe this totality (person image) can easily lead to confusion. Consequently it was necessary to review the nature and influence of the most important areas that are related to the person image of the adolescent drum majorette: ► relationship formation ► physical development cognitive development emotional development ► social development. The literature study discloses that the drum majorette is involved in relationship formation with self, peers, trainer/educator and parents. Analysis of the data indicates that the adolescent whose relationships with significant others were favourable, positive and rewarding would have developed a positive self-identity, a positive self-concept and an enhanced feeling of self. Unfavourable experiences in the relationship formation are likely to limit the drum majorette's development and an impaired self-concept, negative self-identity would have been formed. Relationships in the life-world of the drum majorette may have a significant effect on the person image. Drum majoretting as a sport provides a range of experiences through which the adolescent may be socialised. For the purpose of the empirical investigation a self-structured questionnaire for drum majorettes were utilised. The questionnaires that were completed by drum majorettes were analyzed and thereafter the data that was obtained was processed and analyzed. The study has confirmed that the person image of the adolescent girl is enhanced through drum majoretting. The empirical investigation proved that all four categories of relationship i.e. self, peers, trainer/educator…
