Outline of Final Research Achievements

Since there is a lack of objectivity in interpretations of drawing pictures and landscapes when the projective techniques are used, we propose a statistical image analysis method for the projective drawings and landscape mapping to examine social cognition. The basic procedure was as follow: (1)) scanning and dividing picture, (2)texture analysis such as the gray level histogram moment (GLHM) analysis, the spatial gray level dependence method (SGLDM) analysis, the gray level difference method (GLDM) analysis (3)singular value decomposition analysis, (4) Fourier analysis for the drawing and landscape mapping picture, and (5) interpretation of the picture and the landscape. We analyzed the pictures and landscape mappings, then interrelated statistical properties of the image analysis with the scores for psychological tests. The result suggests significant relationships between some statistical properties and mental states such as depression and anxiety.
