They were instituted with 50 kindergarten children of 4years old in M nursery that are lower middle class in economic level, divided into 2 groups randomly that is a testing group and a control group. It conducted art activity for children on the testing group for approaching multi-cultural in and general art activity designed based on life topic for children on control group.
It used to re-modify the research instrument that Bak ji hui(2002) extracted and used from preference items among the instruments that Eum mi suk(1999) used in her study based on research themes of Clark(1947), Hirschfeld(1995), Horowitz(1936), Morland(1958), Radke & Trager(1950), Ramsey(1987) for finding preference of a child to a human race. also, it used to re-modify the research instrument that Lee jeong hui(1999) used based on Strech study(1994) with the items that Bak ji hui(2002) extracted and used from which was used by Jang young hui, Lee suk jae, Kim hye sil, Kim jeon hwa (1999) in their study based on the study of Clark & Clark(1947), Hirschfeld(1995), Horowitz(1936), Morland(1958), Radke & Trager(1950), Ramsey(1987) for finding influence in a fixed idea to a human race.

It also performed a post-test for both testing group and control group from 8th of June, 2009 to 10th of June, 2009 for 3days after applied the program. Analysis criteria and practice method were executed under the same conditions as pre-test.
It conducted dada analysis to verify X2 for finding difference between two groups with outcome of frequency (N) and percentage (%) every items for finding preference of a child on both testing group and control group to a human race, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) for finding difference between two groups of a fixed idea to a human race. It executed an interview to teachers for testing group for finding change of reaction to a fixed idea and a human race on children.
