The purpose of this study is to find out the specific character of the educable mentally retraded children's personality, and to make a comparative analysis on the characterological factors revealed in the portrait drawings between the educable mentally retreated and normal children.
The practical method of analysis is as follows.
A. Specific character of EMR's personality factors.
B. Comparison of personality by sex.
C. Specific character of personality revealed in the male and female portraits.
The study has been conducted with the number of 120 educable mentally retarded and 120 normal children in the areas of Daegu city and 5 other neighboring cities and countries, and a diagnostic test has been implemented with Otomo's portrait application method.
The conclusion of the study is as follows:
A. Specific character of EMR's personality factors
1. The deviation number of E.M.R. group is that the "B" shows the highest ratio and the remaining ratio is in X, N, C, M, F, Sch, S, Y, Ps, order.
2. In comparative test of the characterological factors by group, each S, C, F, Sch, N, B, X factor is of .1% meaningful level which shows significant difference, while M factor is 5% and Ps, Y factor shows no significant difference.
B. Comparison of personality by sex division.
1. C factor shows 1% meaningful differences of which male is higher than female, and F factor is 5% level. Other factors show no significant in difference.
C. Specific character of personality revealed in the male and female portraits.
1. In the deviation ratio by sex in both groups (E.M.R. & Normal Children), the comparison of male and female portraits brought .1% meaningful difference which shows significant level, and within same group the comparison shows no marked difference in characterological factors.
2. In characterological factors, there exists little interrelationship between male portraits and female ones. Thus, it could presumed that each characterological factor engages a tendency of individualization.
3. The common characteristics of significant interrelationships within mentally retarded male and female were revealed as following ratio: C factor and Ps factor showed -.50, -.52 level, and it showed .85 level between Sch factor and F factor.
4. In the interrelationship between the two factors of normal male and female, M and Sch showed .43, .41, and X, Sch significantly showed .40, .43 levels.
