Sex Differences In Scores On The Draw-A-Person Test Across Childhood: Do They Relate To Graphic Fluency

---

Summary .— Girls are said to outperform boys in the human fi gure drawing, but some disagreement exists among studies regarding such sex diff erences, and the reasons for these sex diff erences are unclear. The study examined how sex, age,and graphic fl uency aff ect scores at the human fi gure drawing in large sample of children aged fi ve to 12 years. To that end, the Draw-a-Person Test was administered to 336 boys and girls from kindergarten to Grade 6, using Goodenough's scoring method. Graphic fl uency was measured using Torrance's Parallel Lines Test.
Results showed a sex by age interaction on scores at the Draw-a-Person test, with girls outperforming boys at Grades 3 and 6. Split-sample regression analyses indicated that for boys both age and graphic fl uency were relevant predictors for scores on the Draw-a-Person test; by contrast, for girls age, but not fl uency, predicted the drawing scores. It was concluded that graphic fl uency diff erently aff ected boys' and girls' scores.
