Bender-Gestalt Test와 유아(幼兒)의 정서장애(情緖障碍)와의 관계(關系) = A Study on the Relationship between Bender-Gestalt Test and Emotionally Disturbed Children

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study attempts to search out differences in the visual-motor perceptual ability between emotionally disturbed young children and normal young children by Koppitz`s Bender-Gestalt Test(BGT). The subjects were 36 emotionally disturbed young children and 36 normal young children, whose ages ranged from 5 years to 7 years which were selected in 4 nursery schools. The instrument used was the BGT developed by Bender. Koppitz`s Developmental Scoring System was used to score the results of the design copy by which young children was tested. The major findings of this study can be summarized as follows: 1. Significant differences are found between sampled subjects` responses and standardized subjects` responses. Sampled subjects` maturation levels are lower than standardized subjects` maturation levels. 2. Emotionally disturbed young children have immature visual-motor perceptual ability. 3. Emotional indicators and the number of emotional indicator have diagnostic-discriminative value about whether there is emotional disorder or not. 4. It may well be that emotional indicator will happen to young children with poor visual-motor perceptual ability.
