Desenho da figura humana: análise da prevalência de indicadores para avaliação emocional Human figure drawing: prevalence analysis of indicators for emotional assessment

Abstract

A análise das variáveis que afetam a prevalência de indicadores emocionais no desenho da figura humana foi realizada. A amostra foi composta por 2.206 desenhos, realizados por crianças de 5 aos 11 anos (695 sexo feminino, 408 sexo masculino), que não apresentavam distúrbios clínicos. Dois sistemas de correção foram empregados, o de Naglieri, McNeish e Bardos (avaliação emocional) e o de Wechsler (avaliação cognitiva). A análise da variância demonstrou a influência (pAn analysis of the emotional indicators in children's human figure drawings was done in order to investigate variables that could affect their prevalence. The sample consisted of 2,206 human figure drawings made by children (695 girls and 408 boys), aged between 5-12 years old, with no apparent clinical disturbances. Scoring systems by Naglieri, McNeish and Bardos (emotional assessment) and Wechsler (cognitive assessment) were employed. The analysis of variance demonstrated significant effects (p< .01) of children's sex and age; type of figure drawn; type of school attended; and interaction of sex, age and figure type on emotional as well as on cognitive scores. Emotional scores were negatively related (p< .01) to cognitive scores. Different cut-off scores are proposed to provide an adequate psychodiagnostic assessment.
