Sex of the Administrator as a Variable Affecting Drawing a Person

Abstract

The sex of the administrator was not significantly related to the sex of the first-drawn figure for 175 college students given the Draw-A-Person test in mixed-sex groups. A review of test data for 332 adults given the test in diagnostic, one-to-one settings confirms the lack of difference. Sex distribution in a group may skew subjects' performance on the Draw-A-Person test administered in group settings. Same-sex groups appear to heighten subjects' sex-role awareness and may highlight the sex of the administrator: this might promote greater effect of modeling than is found in mixed-sex groups. Research involving group administration of the Draw-A-Person test or tests requiring similar response should consider the effects of sex distribution within tested groups.
