This study aims to explore the drawing characteristics of the house-tree-person drawing test (HTP) in junior high school students with depressive symptoms.
A total of 167 junior high school students were recruited and completed HTP and questionnaires. 12 drawing characteristics of HTP were extracted and compared to explore the potential drawing characteristics of depressive symptoms.
Among 12 drawing characteristics, eight drawing characteristics appeared more frequently in the depressed group (CES-D ≥ 20) than in the non-depressed group (CES-D < 20), while one drawing characteristic appeared with a lower frequency. Further, controlling for the risk perception of COVID-19, seven drawing characteristics, not suggestive of movement, lacking details, blackening the paper, drawing in an only dark color, drawing a detailed crown, hands behind the back, and omitting expression, emerged as predictors of depressive symptoms (CES-D ≥ 20) in junior high school students.
Seven drawing characteristics of HTP are significantly associated with depressive symptoms in junior high school students. HTP is insightful for early screening for junior high school students with depressive symptoms.
本研究旨在探讨初中生抑郁症状者房树人测验（HTP）的绘画特点。
共招募 167 名初中生，完成 HTP 及问卷，提取并比较 HTP 的 12 项绘画特征，以探索潜在的抑郁症状绘画特征。
在 12 项绘画特征中，有 8 项绘画特征在抑郁组（CES-D≥20）中出现的频率高于非抑郁组（CES-D<20），而有 1 项绘画特征出现的频率较低。进一步控制对 COVID-19 的风险感知后，7 项非运动、缺乏细节、涂黑纸张、只用深色绘画、画详细的皇冠、手放在背后、省略表情的绘画特征成为初中生抑郁症状（CES-D≥20）的预测因子。
HTP 的 7 项绘画特征与初中生的抑郁症状显著相关。HTP 对初中生抑郁症状的早期筛查具有洞察力。
