Lo studio del clima familiare attraverso il «Disegno della Famiglia a Colori» e il CV-FES: una indagine correlazionale

Abstract

The aim of this work was to investigate the child’s family environment perception whom he belongs. The «Colour Family Drawing Test» (Biasi, Bonaiuto, & Levin, 2014 and 2015) and the structured questionnaire CV-FES (Pino, Simons, & Slawinowski, 1983) were administered, in a class way, to a sample of about 260 children (from 8 to 11) belonged to three primary schools of Rome, to understand the validity and the reliability of potential inconveniences’ indexes. According to the general hypothesis, children who perceive a harmonic and calm family environment by CV-FES scales, use «reassuring and playful» colours and graphic-pictorial language of «comfort»; otherwise children who perceive a stressful and conflicting family environment, use «alarming and serious» tonalities and graphic-pictorial language of «stress» (Biasi et al., 2015). Comparing the results, it emerged that 5 subscales on 10 of CV-FES are linked with graphic-pictorial language of «Colour Family Drawing Test». It was done a factorial analysis to identify underlying psychological concepts. It emerged a bi-factorial structure: the first factor, nominated «dynamic organization», refers to an active familiar organization in which each member can express and act himself; the second one, nominates «high control» refers to a high control which doesn’t allow the members’ expression.
