This study investigated university students with different ideal self-concept types and their preferences and image on appearance of MP3 player. First, we used Malhotra’s self-concept scale to survey university students’ ideal self-concept and use main principal component analysis, cluster analysis, and Scheffe multiple comparison to sum up four ideal self types, followed with appearance image testing of MP3 players, and used regression analysis to explore the image that affects preferences of every ideal self-concept groups. Finally, we used Class I of Lin’s volume to analyze the preferences of every ideal self-concept group on the appearance features of MP3 players.
