  • Title: Bender-Gestalt signs as indicants of anxiety, withdrawal, and acting-out behaviors in adolescents.
    Author: McCormick TT, Brannigan GG.
    Journal: J Psychol; 1984 Sep; 118(1ST Half):71-4. PubMed ID: 6512720.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to assess the utility of the Bender-Gestalt Test as a measure of acting-out, withdrawal, and anxiety tendencies in adolescents. A heterogeneous group of 40 emotionally disturbed adolescents was administered the Bender-Gestalt Test. Behavior ratings on the Devereux Adolescent Behavior Rating Scale were also obtained for each subject. Although several individual Acting-Out signs were found to be related to specific behavior ratings, the most notable findings were the significant correlations between total Bender-Gestalt Acting-Out signs and Poor Emotional Control and Inability to Delay. Bender-Gestalt Withdrawal and Anxiety signs were not found to be related significantly to specific behavior ratings.
