Abstract

KLUMPP, Carolina Ferreira Barros; VILAR, Manuela; PEREIRA, Marcelino  and  ANDRADE, Márcia Siqueira de. Study of Evidence of Discriminant Validity for the Kinetic Family Drawing Test. Aval. psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.20, n.2, pp.241-252. ISSN 1677-0471.  https://doi.org/10.15689/ap.2021.2002.19439.12.

This study aimed to investigate evidence of discriminant validity for the Kinetic Family Drawing test. It also intended to analyze the influence of sociodemographic variables, to evaluate the frequency and discriminatory capacity of each analysis item of this projective technique. Participants were 112 children from 9 to 12 years of age, belonging to two criterion groups, 80 from the normative sample and 32 from the clinical sample (with learning problems). The instruments used were the Kinetic Family Drawing test, its correction sheet and Raven's Progressive and Colored Matrices. Data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics using the SPSS software. The main results showed that the sociodemographic variable age influenced the results obtained; there was a statistically significant difference between the criterion groups, corroborating the evidence of discriminant validity; while only 38.46% of the analysis items obtained statistically significant difference between the criterion groups.

Keywords : self-expression technique; psychometric parameters; psychological assessment.
