Psychological differentiation in Nigerian children.
The human figure drawings of 646 male and female Nigerian primary school children were analyzed with the use of Witkin's Articulation of Body Concept (ABC) scale. There was a significant association between age and ABC scores for the Ss as a group. The correlation between age and ABC scores was significant with male Ss and almost so with female Ss. These findings are on the whole consistent with the results of previous research conducted in different sociocultural settings.
