The purpose of this study was to investigate Trait-anxiety and characteristics by House-Tree-Person in city women. The K-HTP test(Buck. 1970) and Trait-Anxiety Scale(Spielberger. 1976) were used. The 283 subjects were selected from cities. One way ANOVA and Scheffe\'s test were adopted in use of Spss PC Program. The data were analyzed with the frequency, percentage, Mean. S.D and F value.
The results were as follows :
First. the general level of trait-anxiety showed average. The area of the highest scores of trait-anxiety was tension whereas revealed the lowest scores in satisfaction.
Second. four variables in the house of drawings. the existence of door knob, chimney, smoke and clearness of stroke revealed statistically significant differences. That is the group with the existence of door knob, chimney, smoke revealed the higher trait-anxiety than without the
existence of door knob, chimney, smoke.
Third. five variables in tree styles of drawings. the form of branch, trunk, root, exitence of fruit and clearness of stroke revealed statistically significant differences. The group with stronger trunk and roots revealed the lower of trait-anxiety than weaker trunk and roots. The group with
many fruits revealed the lower of trait-anxiety than a few fruits.
Fourth. five variables in person styles of drawings, length of foot, hand, figure ascendance, harmony of drawings and clearness of stroke reavealed statistically significant differences. the lower trait-anxiety groups showed longer foot and hand than the higher trait-anxiety groups. the lower groups of trait-anxiety revealed nearer distence from center than higher groups.
