家庭是人類成長中最重要的人際關係，因此家庭對於兒童的人際、生活適應及情緒成長都有相當的影響牲，我們可以透過了繪畫來瞭解兒童與家庭成員之間的互動情形或是自我對家庭的看法。繪畫對兒童而言，是他們內心世界與外在世界的一種溝通橋梁，也是對其所處生活情境的一種認知表現。本研究屬於實驗，性研究，對象是來自於一般家庭、單親家庭、新住民家庭共三組不同家庭結構之低年級兒童，分別是30名，三組一共是90名兒童，以探討三組不同家庭結構兒童中家庭動力繪畫表現情形。結果是三組家庭的兒童在「人物間互動和動作」變項中;“父親在室內"一項以新住民家庭兒童最為顯著性且大於其他兩組，“其他人物在戶外\"一項，以單親家庭兒童這組大於其他兩組;在「人物的問距、障礙物」變項中，並末在三組兒童繪畫中發現差異性;在「圖畫的樣式」變項中並未發現差異性;在「人物特徵」變項中，以單親家庭在「省略父親」、「省略母親」這兩部分都比其他兩組來得顯著;在「象徵符號」變項中，使用「遠離自己的太陽」、「電視」象徵符號表現是新住民家庭兒童的顯著性大於其他兩組，此現象與「人物間互動和動作」變項中「父室內」、「父看電視」有相當的關係。在未來的研究需增加且普遍性的選擇研究對象，研究結果將是較客觀且有效的信效度，以提供為學校或輔導機構為介入家庭治療的參考資料。

Family is the source of the most important interpersonal relationships in
the process of personal growth. Family life, therefore, is highly influential in the development of a child’s interpersonal relationships, life skills, and emotions. Through drawings, we are able to understand the interaction between a child and his/her family members, or his/her perceptions of the family. For a child, drawing serves as a bridge between the inner self and the outside world. It also reflects cognitive performance with respect to a child’s living environment. The subjects of this experiment-based study are three groups of students in the junior grades (Grade 1 and Grade 2) of elementary school, with different family structures including traditional families, single-parent families, and new immigrant families. In total, there are 90 children in the three groups, with 30 children in each group. We engage in an exploration of the Kinetic Family Drawings of these three groups of children, focusing on their different family structures. In terms of the variable of “Action of and Between Figures,” the group from new immigrant families exhibits a higher level of significance than the other two groups in the category of “father is outside of the room;” and the group from single-parent families has the highest level of significance among the three
in the category of “other people outside of the house.” With respect to the variable of “Distance between Figures, Barriers,” no difference has been identified among the drawings of the three groups of children. There is also no difference with the variable of “Styles.” Concerning the variable of “Figure Characteristics,” the group from single-parent families displays a higher level of significance than the other two groups with both “omitting the father” and “omitting the mother figure.” With the variable of “Symbols,” the group from new immigrant families has the highest significance level among the three in using symbols such as “Far Away the Sun” or “TV.” This phenomenon is highly correlated to the “father figure is in the room” and “father figure watches the TV” categories under the variable of “Action of and Between Figures ” To improve the objectivity, reliability and validity of future studies, the researcher should increase the number and diversity of the research subjects, and the researcher hopes that research results can be offered to schools or counseling organizations as helpful reference materials for relevant family therapy intervention programs.
