Abstract

Summary One hundred and thirty seven Afghan male and twenty five female students at the university of Kabul, Afghanistan were asked to draw a person. A significantly larger number of women than men draw a picture of the opposite sex first. This appears to be in line with Craddick's finding for American college students. The similarity in the frequency which Afghan and American women students drew opposite sex picture first was also discussed. The large number of opposite sex first drawings for both Afghan and American college women was explained in terms of cultural rather than pathological factors.
