Inter-Rater Reliability of Scoring Goodenough-Harris Drawings by Disadvantaged Preschool Children

Abstract

Drawings of 50 culturally deprived children were examined to investigate inter- and intra-rater reliabilities for scoring the Goodenough-Harris Drawing Test. Two naive raters taught themselves the method and then scored the sample of drawings. Significant ( p < .001) Pearsonian correlations between the scores of the two raters were .951 for the man drawing, .954 for the woman, and .938 for the self. In addition, significant coefficients ( p < .001) of intra-rater reliability ranged from .750 to .917 across drawings. The data suggested that the GHDT was reliably scored by naive raters who were allowed to train themselves and that the scoring criteria were applied consistently to the alternate forms of the test.
