Validity of the Draw-A-Person and Bender Gestalt Tests as Measures of Impulsivity with Adolescents.

Oas, Peter

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v52 n6 p1011-19 Dec 1984

Designated 100 psychiatrically hospitalized and 114 nonhospitalized adolescents as impulsive or nonimpulsive and compared them to determine the validity of signs of impulsivity on the Draw-A-Person and Bender Gestalt tests. Signs of impulsivity and nonimpulsivity on these tests discriminated between impulsive and nonimpulsive adolescents with surprising accuracy. (BH)
