The purpose of this study was to find out if the Draw a Story (DAS) assessment can be used as a screening technique to identify children and adolescents at risk for aggression. Four art therapists presented the DAS tasks to 30 students with histories of aggressive behavior and to 181 students with no histories of aggression. After the 211 responses were scored on 5-point rating scales for assessing Emotional Content and Self-Image, a psychologist analyzed the findings. The aggressive students had significantly lower Emotional Content scores and significantly higher Self-Image scores. Aggression also was significantly related to responses that received 1 point in Emotional Content along with 5 points in Self-Image. Significant gender differences, but no age differences, also emerged. The findings suggest that the DAS assessment shows promise as a technique for identifying students at risk for aggressive behavior. The report concludes with implications for art therapists and educators, and suggests questions to be explored in further study.
