- Abstract
The Synthetic House--Tree--Person Test (S-HTP Test; Mikami, 1995), which is a projective technique used in clinical psychology, is based on Buck's (1948) House-Tree-Person (HTP) Test. In the original HTP Test, children were asked to draw a house, a tree, and a person, each on a separate piece of paper, and the drawings were then used to project psychological features, such as personality. The S-HTP Test differs from the original test in that all items are drawn on a single sheet of paper. The overview in this study was of the features of human figures drawn by Japanese junior high school students during an S-HTP Test. We focused, in particular, on the relationships between the human figures, and gender differences. We predicted that human relationships depicted in the S-HTP Test could be used to project the nature of the participants' actual relationships, and that there would be a significant gender difference.
