Summary
Menurut Castle dan Honigman (2002), body image adalah gambaran mental seseorang terhadap bentuk dan ukuran tubuhnya; bagaimana seseorang mempersepsi dan memberikan penilaian atas apa yang dia pikirkan dan rasakan terhadap ukuran dan bentuk tubuhnya, dan atas bagaimana kira-kira penilaian orang lain terhadap dirinya. Penelitian ini menggali body image anak melalui proses stimulasi boneka manusia. Stimulasi dalam penelitian ini adalah kegiatan pemberian rangsangan mengunakan alat bantu boneka manusia untuk melihat respon anak mengenai citra diri. Dalam bahasa Inggris boneka manusia disebut doll adalah jenis mainan yang merupakan representasi dari manusia. Stimulasi boneka manusia adalah suatu kegiatan perangsangan yang dilakukan melalui proses bermain boneka. Menurut Hurlock (2001), tahap mainan (Toy stage) mencapai puncaknya pada usia 56 tahun biasanya hal ini terjadi pada usia prasekolah, anak-anak di TK biasa bermain dengan boneka dan mengajaknya bercakap atau bermain seperti layak teman bermainnya (imajinatif). Anak akan memahami anggota tubuh (seperti apa bentuk kepala, tangan, kaki, dan perut), bagaimana cara merawat tubuh (memandikan, menyisir, mengganti baju boneka) dan anak mulai memiliki persepsi boneka mana yang menarik, boneka mana yang dianggap cantik, bagaimana agar boneka yang dimilikinya menjadi lebih menawan dibandingkan boneka teman. Persepsi-persepsi tersebut pada akhirnya membangun pemahaman anak mengenai apa itu cantik lahiriah
