title: The Effects of Socioeconomic Development on Draw-A-Man Scores in Turkey.
abstract: The Goodenough Draw-a-Man Test was administered to 218 fifth grade boys and girls from rural and urban areas in Turkey. The three rural villages varied in their degree of remoteness from the city and in their levels of modernization. The urban children belonged to lower and middle SES groups. The level of socioeconomic development was found to be the main factor explaining the variation in the obtained IQ; rural children from the most remote village had the lowest scores, and urban middle-class children had the highest. The results were interpreted in terms of environmental deprivation and stimulation.
