Statistical Image Analysis of Psychological Projective Drawings
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose statistical image analysis for psychological projective drawings to facilitate assessing the reliability of the projective drawing making the determination of its validity difficult. Standard analysis involves (1) drawing a picture, (2) scanning the drawing, (3) dividing the drawing, (4) analyzing the gray level histogram moment (GLHM), (5) applying spatial gray level dependence method (SGLDM), (6) applying the gray level difference method (GLDM) for the drawing, and (7) interpreting the drawing. To demonstrate the proposed procedure, we used the tree test (Baum test). Three adults were presented with blank A4 paper and asked to draw a picture of a tree with fruit on it. Drawings were analyzed by statistical image analysis and results interpreted clinically.

The Scientific Status of Projective Techniques.
Although projective techniques continue to be widely used in clinical and forensic settings, their scientific status remains highly controversial. In this monograph, we review the current state of the literature concerning the psychometric properties (norms, reliability, validity, incremental validity, treatment utility) of three major projective instruments: Rorschach Inkblot Test, Thematic Ap...

متن کاملProjective Relations for 3D Space: Computational Model, Application, and Psychological Evaluation
We propose a 3D computational model for projective relations which is used in an integrated image and speech understanding system. The image and speech understanding system is being developed within a joint research project focusing on both technical and cognitive aspects of humancomputer interaction. Psychological experiments have been carried out to evaluate our computational model as an appr...
