First-drawn pictures: a cross-cultural investigation.
Fifty Jordanian male and female students at the University of Jordan, Jordan were asked to draw a person. A significantly larger number of women than men drew a picture of the opposite-sex first. This appears in line with Craddick's finding for American college students. The frequency of drawing opposite-sex pictures first as a phenomenon characteristic of Jordanian and American female college students was discussed in terms of sociocultural factors and considered in the sex-role frame of reference. Suggestions for future research were presented.
