Objective@#To explore the characteristic indexes of patients with schizophrenia trees drawing projection through the extraction and quantitative analysis of the projection index of the tree-drawing painted by schizophrenic patients and provide the basis for the diagnosis of schizophrenia.@*Methods@#A tree-drawing test was performed on 69 schizophrenic patients and 59 healthy subjects without psychotic symptoms using the control study design.Computer image recognition and data acquisition was used to quantitatively research on tree projection drawing, and the data were analyzed between the two groups.@*Results@#There were 6 tree-drawing test quantitative indexes had statistical significance between schizophrenia patients and healthy subjects: crown height ((7.4380±3.7939)cm vs (8.9587±3.6632)cm, t=-2.386, P=0.018), crown width ((9.3441±4.7054)cm vs (12.1024±4.7836)cm, t=-3.281, P<0.01), trunk width ((2.3391±2.3857)cm vs (3.7313±2.2822), t=-3.357, P=0.001), crown area ((65.1007±56.2188)cm2 vs (90.8369±61.9536)cm2, t=-2.463, P=c.015), trunk area ((12.8060±17.3851)cm2 vs (19.3813±15.3874)cm2, t=-2.248, P=0.026), the total area ((82.3225±71.7906)cm2 vs (114.5269±73.8087)cm2, t=-2.497, P=0.014), meanwhile 7 quantitative indexes were not statistically significant: the total height of trees ((13.9728±5.8815)cm vs (15.8957±5.4399)cm, t=-1.908, P=0.059), trunk height ((6.4989±5.8861)cm vs (6.4311±3.0242)cm, t=0.080, P=0.936), root height ((0.7321±1.2916)cm vs (0.4780±1.0912)cm, t=1.191, P=0.236), root width ((1.7597±3.5406)cm vs (2.2041±4.8122)cm, t=-0.600, P=0.549), root area ((4.3920±10.8128)cm2 vs (4.3774±12.4586)cm2, t=0.007, P= 0.994), trunk and crown height ratio ((9.0236±15.1846) vs (5.1478±9.0970, t=-0.526, P=0.600), trunk crown width ratio (9.0236±15.1846 vs 5.1478±9.0970, t=1.489, P=0.14).@*Conclusion@#There are significant traits in the area of crown, trunk and tree in the tree drawing projection test between schizophrenics and healthy subjects.After future large sample follow-up study, it can provide quantitative assistance for clinical diagnosis.

Objective To assess the reliability and validity of the Tree-Drawing Test in medical college students.Methods The study randomly selected 312 aged 19 to 23-year-old medical students to take part in TreeDrawing Test.In addition,a total of 275 college students were selected to receive re-test,30 days late and Pearson correlation coefficient of two tests were calculated.The three raters were invited to assess 30 trees painting score,analyzing the Kendall coefficient of concordance between the scores to verify raters' reliability; parts of students also participated in the 16PF test,SAS,SDS test,analyzing the correlation coefficient between the various test results,in order to assess the effectiveness of the Tree-Drawing Test.Results The re-test reliability in different time was 0.570-0.733 and 0.341-0.713 (P＜0.05),the raters' reliability was 0.491 ～ 0.626(P＜0.05),there are some correlations between Tree-Drawing Test and 16PF,SAS,SDS.Conclusion The Tree-Drawing Test has good reliability and validity; it can be applied to the detection of college students' psychological assessment and psychological problems.
