| Methodology description: | The approach utilized is the psychological analysis of children’s drawings utilizing literature on the assessment of human figure and free form drawings. This method was chosen as a non-invasive and unbiased measurement tool for studying social, emotional, and cognitive health. Participants are asked to perform two tasks. First, the participant is asked to “Draw a picture of yourself.” Second, the participant is asked to “Draw a picture of whatever you feel like.” Utilizing the literature on the psychological analysis of children’s drawings, attributes within human figure drawings and free form drawings (Emotional Features, Integration Level, General Harmony) correlating with developmental items and emotional indicators will be observed. An additional questionnaire is filled out gathering basic socio-demographic and familial measures (Age, Gender, City of Origin in Syria, Date of Arrival in Jordan, Family Size, Number of Brothers, Number of Sisters, Father’s Occupation before the crisis) Through Nearest-Neighbor Matching, children within the refugee camps similar in background to children within non-camp communities are compared on the basis of mental and psychological health. Through collaboration with certain organizations, this assessment was performed within classroom and community center settings in the districts shown below with 30 to 50 children participating in each session. As well, during reregistration, children of families waiting to be reregistered where asked if they’d be able to participate in the exercise. |
