Internal Consistency and Bias Considerations of the Goodenough-Harris Draw-A-Person Test.

Strommen, Erik F.; Smith, Jeffrey K.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v47 n3 p731-36 Fall 1987

The internal consistency of the Goodenough-Harris Draw-A-Person Test was examined using 150 children, aged 5-8. The 72-item full scales showed good internal consistency at all ages, with no sex differences. Administration of a 42-item short form resulted in sex effects and differential internal consistency.
