Resumo: The Human Figure Drawing (HFD) is widely used for emotional assessment of children, but there is little empirical validity of this measure. This study aims at investigating the validity evidence for external criteria of HFD. The sample consisted of 91 children (62.6 % girls), aged between 11 and 12 years, enrolled in elementary institutions. We used the HFD to evaluate emotional difficulties and Youth Self Report (YSR) system in assessing self-perception of psychological difficulties. The Pearson correlations between the two measures were estimated. We have compared the total and specific HFD items with the behavioral dimensions of YSR. We have observed no associations between complete emotional indicators of HFD and the total of YSR. In conclusion, the HFD was not validated as a measure of emotional issues, indicating the need for more studies.

El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar la evidencia de validez de los criterios externos para FDH. La muestra consistió en 91 niños (62,6% mujeres), con edades comprendidas entre los 11 y los 12 años, asistiendo a las instituciones de educación básica. Para ello, se utilizó el FDH evaluados por las dificultades emocionales y sistema de Youth Self Report (YRS). Se estimaron las correlaciones entre las dos medidas y comparadas las partidas totales y específicas DFH con las dimensiones del comportamiento de YSR. No se observaron asociaciones entre los indicadores emocionales totales de FDH y el total de YSR. El presente estudio no mostró la validez del FDH como una medida de problemas emocionales, lo que indica la necesidad de más estudios sobre su validez.O Desenho da Figura Humana (DFH) é muito utilizado para a avaliação emo­cional de crianças, porém há pouca validade empírica da medida. O objetivo deste es­tudo foi investigar evidências de validade por critério externo para o DFH. A amostra foi composta de 91 crianças (62,6% meninas), com idades entre 11 e 12 anos, que frequentavam instituições de educação básica. Para tanto, utilizou-se o DFH avaliado pelo sistema de dificuldades emocionais e Youth Self-Report (YSR), Inventário de Auto­avaliação para Jovens que avalia dificuldades comportamentais e emocionais. Foram estimadas as correlações entre ambas as medidas e comparados os totais e os itens específicos do DFH com as dimensões comportamentais do YSR. Não foram observa­das associações entre os totais de indicadores emocionais do DFH e nos totais do YSR. No presente estudo, não foi observada a validade do DFH como medida de problemas emocionais, indicando a necessidade de mais estudos sobre sua validade.Editora Mackenzie2018-01-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAPapplication/pdfhttp://editorarevistas.mackenzie.br/index.php/ptp/article/view/893610.5935/1980-6906/psicologia.v19n3p256-269The Journal Of Psychology: Theory and Practice ; Vol. 19 No. 3 (2017); 256-269Revista Psicología: Teoría y Práctica; Vol. 19 Núm. 3 (2017); 256-269Revista Psicologia: Teoria e Prática; v. 19 n. 3 (2017); 256-2691980-69061516-3687reponame:Psicologia (Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie.
