Drawit - children psychology

DESSIN GUIDE EN TANT QUE NOUVELLE METHODOLOGIE D'ANALYSE PSYCHOLOGIQUE

In light of the increasing growth in the number of depression, anxiety and behavioral

disorders cases among children between (6-11) years old, which demonstrate the

importance of understanding children psychology early in their lives. In this

research, an effort has been made to outline a new method of personality analysis

based on the interpretation of the shapes of the human figure. These shapes are given

in a guided drawing form where the children reveal important aspects of their

personality including personality characteristics, psychological state, and tendencies.

This year the study has been expanded to cover a larger and more diverse test

sample, the sample has grown from 77 last year to 435 this year including a special

study that has been made on the children of the Zaatari refugee camp. On the other

hand, the validity of the invented analysis methodology has been rigorously tested by

developing matching criteria scale which confirmed that children do express their

feelings through Drawit guided drawing instrument. Lastly to scale the

implementation of our analysis a mobile application has been developed to automate

the process of analyzing the child personality.
