An Investigation Of Certain Aspects Of Human Figure Drawings As A Measure Of Sociability Of The Person, Vincent Boone Alig

Graduate Thesis Collection

For many years considerable interest has been shown in spontaneous drawing productions as related to personality study. However, little has been accomplished toward validating this measure as useful in the clinic, and even less has been done to demonstrate its usefulness with "normal" individuals. This study, therefore, is an attempt to determine whether or not certain aspects i.e., the manner in which the arms and hands are represented, in drawings of the human figure will objectively differentiate between social and non-social, "normal" individuals.
