Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the concurrent validity of the Draw-A-Man Intelligence Test (DAM) in the cerebral palsied children through the analysis of the relationships among DAM, WISC-R and Bender Gestalt Test, which to determine the mean differences and the correlations between the IQs obtained from tests and to predict the DAMIQ from the PIQ, VIQ and Bender IQ by use of the multiple regression analysis. Subjects were 64 cerebral palsied children in the schools for the physically handicapped, aged from 6 to 12 years old. The main results were as follows; 1) Using t-test (for dependent samples), the following significant mean differences were found: The mean IQs obtained from DAM and Bender were higher than the mean IQs obtained from WISC-R. 2) The correlation coefficients (DAMIQ-Bender-IQ, DAMIQ-PIQ, and DAMIQ-VIQ) were .808,.730, and .638, respectively. They were all significant and higher coefficients compared with the results of the early research which were with the mental retardation or normal children. But in the analysis of the partial correlation, the correlation coefficient between DAMIQ and VIQ was not significant and other two coefficients were significant. 3) The multiple regression analysis showed that the great portion of the variance of the DAMIQ could be attributed to the action of the BenderIQ. When compared with the standardized regression coefficients, the BenderIQ was the most useful predictor in the battery, and followed by the PIQ and VIQ had lowest coefficient which could be neglected in the prediction.
