Abstract |
The purpose of the present study was to examine the validity of Kinetic School Drawing( KSD) in assessing interpersonal relationships of school students. Elementary( N=175) and junior high school stud...ents( N=84) completed the Questionnaire-Utilities and KSD. Results suggested that in elementary students, the way a participant drew the self-figures’ eyes and the directions of the face in self-figures, the way a participant drew friend-figures’ faces, and the similarity of behavior between self-figures and friend-figures related to sense of acceptance. Additionally, self-figures’ face directions related to sense of insecurity. Among junior high school students, teacher-figures’ face directions and the positional relationship between self-figures and friend-figures related to sense of acceptance. Furthermore, the way a participant drew self-figures’ bodies, the size of self-figures and friend-figures, the number of friend-figures, and the way a participant drew person-figures related to sense of insecurity. These results did not support the study hypotheses, which were based on findings of preceding studies. Therefore, it is necessary to verify the interpretation of hypotheses with KSD drawn individuallyshow more
