The Relationship of Knowledge Level of Cosmetics with Avoidance Behavior Against Cosmetics Containing Rhodamine-B.

Abstract

Cosmetics is a necessity that has long been used and developed by humans. Along
with the development of the era of increasing use of cosmetics, female students as
consumers who use cosmetic products should have good knowledge about
cosmetics. Cosmetics on the market are very diverse in terms of brands, types, uses,
as well as colors and shapes. This study aims to determine the relationship between
knowledge and behavior to avoid Cosmetics containing Rhodamine-B. This study
uses a descriptive research method with a correlational approach and the sample of
this research is the Make-up Education Students, Class of 2018 with total 30
students using random sampling. The data used is primary data and collected
through a questionnaire. The analytical requirements test used in this study is the
Kolmogorov-Smirnov Normality Test which shows a probability value (Sig.) of
0.080 for the cosmetic knowledge variable (X) and 0.198 for the behavioral variable
to avoid cosmetics containing Rhodamine-B (Y). obtained > 0.05 significant level,
so that both variables can be declared normally distributed. Hypothesis testing in
this study uses the product moment correlation coefficient test and the significance
test of the correlation coefficient. The results show r arithmetic of 0.625, which
means it is greater than r table of 0.361, which means Ho is rejected and Ha is
accepted. The correlation value of 0.625 indicates a strong correlation, this refers
to the Correlation Coefficient Level. It can be concluded that there is a positive
relationship between knowledge of cosmetics and behavior to avoid cosmetics
containing Rhodamine-B.
