This study examined the reliability and validity of three commonly used indicators of emotional distress in children's projective drawings--size, detail, and line heaviness--and assessed their relation to established objective and projective measures of childhood depression and anxiety. Participants were 80 child and adolescent psychiatric inpatients (53 boys, 27 girls; ages 6 to 16; M = 10.69, SD = 2.94). Although the present results indicated that these drawing indices can be assessed with very high reliability, they were not significantly associated with self-report or thematic projective measures of depression and anxiety. Age and defensiveness did not moderate the relation between the drawing indices and the non-drawing measures of emotional distress. The patterning of the intercorrelations among and within the drawing indices, projective stories, and self-report measures indicated greater support for the self-report measures, in terms of convergent and discriminant validity. This study did not support the continued use of these three projective drawing indices of emotional distress.
本研究考察了儿童投射画中常用的三种情绪困扰指标——大小、细节和线条粗细——的信度和效度，并评估了它们与既定的儿童抑郁和焦虑客观及投射测量方法之间的关系。参与者为80名儿童和青少年精神科住院患者（53名男孩，27名女孩；年龄6至16岁；M = 10.69，SD = 2.94）。尽管目前的结果表明这些绘画指标可以非常可靠地进行评估，但它们与抑郁和焦虑的自我报告或主题投射测量方法并无显著关联。年龄和防御性并未调节绘画指标与情绪困扰的非绘画测量方法之间的关系。绘画指标、投射故事和自我报告测量方法之间及内部的相互关联模式表明，就聚合效度和区分效度而言，自我报告测量方法得到了更多支持。本研究不支持继续使用这三种情绪困扰的投射画指标。
