“…Maganto y Garaigordobil (2009a) también encontraron un nivel alto de consistencia interna en el T2F-M. Por otro lado, los resultados del acuerdo interevaluadores muestran una coincidencia muy alta entre las puntuaciones otorgadas por los distintos evaluadores de los protocolos del T2F-M, lo cual es congruente con los resultados obtenidos en estudios anteriores realizados con otros sistemas del dibujo de la figura humana, que han anali zado este tipo de fiabilidad (Abell et al, 1996;Gayton, Tavormina, Evans & Schuh, 1974;Gonzales, 1982;Hutz & Antoniazzi, 1995;Merino et al, 2007;Ozer, 2009;Vélez et al, 2011).…”

The study focused on the presence of aggressive tendencies in the drawings of children who survived the northern Pakistan earthquake. The data was collected one year after the earthquake from Sahara Children Academy (Mallot Tehsil) and Surbuland (camp school set up by the Army at District Bagh). The sample consisted of 75 children (44 boys and 31 girls) age range from 5 to 15 years with a mean age of 8 years. The Human Figure Drawing as projective test (Koppitz, 1969) was used. The drawings were analyzed utilizing a list of emotional indicators for aggression. The list, consisting of 24 indicators, was drawn from the literature on assessment of human figure drawings (Gilbert, 1980). The results indicated the presence of aggressive tendencies among these children with straight lines as the most frequently occurring indicator among both genders. Chi square analysis was conducted to compare males and females for the frequency of occurrence of emotional indicators in drawings. Findings reflect significant differences in frequency of occurrence of aggression related indicators between genders with calculated X 2 = 4.37, p<.05.However, there was no significant difference observed with reference to the content of emotional indicators for boys and girls. 65developmental stage, family and cultural milieu. Most of the children will be able to cope over time with the help of parents and other caring adults. However, some children may be at risk of extreme reactions.

Elementary school children and adolescents may show symptoms like irritability, aggressiveness, clinginess, nightmares, school avoidance, poor concentration, and withdrawal from activities and friendships, sleeping and eating disturbances, agitation, increase conflicts, physical complaints and delinquent behavior (Lazarus, Jimerson and Brock, 2002).Trauma can be connected with anger in many ways. After experiencing trauma people often feel that the situation was unfair or unjust. The individual cannot comprehend why the event has happened and why it has happened to him. This thought can result in intense anger. Although anger is a natural and healthy emotion, intense feeling of anger and aggressive behavior can cause learning and relational problems (Gardner 1971, Parson 1994.Aggression can be studied in many ways. One of the ways employed to measure aggressive responses is through the Human Figure Drawing test. Lowenfeld (1947) has claimed that children exaggerate the size of drawings for topics which are important to them. A number of studies have been conducted to assess sex differences on different variables. Aggression is the most popular field in this respect. Elaenor Maccody and Carol Jackelin (...
