It was hypothesized that, given their stressful working conditions, nuclear weapons workers would show more anxiety indicators on the Draw-A-Person test. Three groups (ns = 9) were given the test and their drawings were scored with Handler's 1967 objectively scorable indexes. A posttest-only design with two nonequivalent comparison groups was employed. Nuclear weapons workers had a reliably higher number of anxiety indicators on their Draw-A-Person drawings than the two comparison groups. These preliminary results indicate that Handler's objectively scorable indexes may be of value in detecting anxiety in the work place. The conclusions are tempered by the small groups and the quasi-experimental design used but indicate that further research could be fruitful.
研究假设，鉴于核武器工作者的工作条件压力大，他们在画人测验中会表现出更多焦虑指标。对三组（每组n = 9）进行了该测试，并根据汉德勒1967年的客观可评分指标对他们的画作进行评分。采用了具有两个非等效对照组的仅后测设计。核武器工作者在画人测验画作上的焦虑指标数量确实比两个对照组要多。这些初步结果表明，汉德勒的客观可评分指标可能在检测工作场所的焦虑方面具有价值。尽管由于样本量小和采用的准实验设计，结论有所保留，但表明进一步的研究可能会有成果。
