Creating a Digital Image of Guanyin a Psychological Connection

Abstract

The research objectives for this study can be summarized into three main goals: 1) to create digital artwork depicting respect for Guanyin, 2) to investigate beliefs related to Guanyin, and 3) to explore the relationship between beliefs and psychology. The study population consists of individuals aged 20 to 40 who have visited the shrine of Guanyin at the Chokchai 4 Wildlife Sanctuary, totaling 50 participants.

The research tools include basic information questionnaires and satisfaction surveys related to the artwork depicting respect for Guanyin. The data analysis reveals distinct beliefs and satisfaction levels within the studied population. For instance, individuals in The “Pang Pan Korn” group believe that love and gratitude lead to success in all aspects of life and contribute to overall health and well-being. The “Pang Yieb Mangkorn” group holds beliefs related to work responsibilities, career advancement, and progress. The “Pang Prathan Phon” group believes in providing everything desired by humans, primarily money, wealth, and prosperity. These beliefs are further connected to psychological concepts such as the id, ego, and super-ego according to Sigmund Freud’s theory. The study suggests that basic desires (id) lead to actions, and when these actions are successful, they result in behaviors (ego). When individuals successfully prove their beliefs and achieve their desired outcomes, where they share their experiences with others in the hope of alleviating their suffering. In summary, the research sheds light on the beliefs and satisfaction levels of individuals who have engaged with the artwork depicting respect for Guanyin. The findings are interpreted through psychological theories, providing a comprehensive understanding of the studied population's behaviors and beliefs (super-ego).
