Study on the procedure used to administer the Baumtest

本研究旨在检查用于管理Baumtest（Koch树画测试）的程序（个体测试与组测试），以将对该测试的理论理解应用于临床实践。为此，我准备了一份1958年至2009年期间用日语撰写的关于鲍姆试验的研究著作清单。在本研究中，我检查了176篇研究论文中用于管理Baumtest的程序，这些研究论文使用索引分析了Baum（树）的形式，并指出用于管理Baumtest的程序在以前的研究中被忽视了。此外，我指出了以前的定量研究的局限性，并提出了一种新的方法（聚光灯分析），以达到精确的统计分析。此外，我对研究参与者（n=48）进行了Baumtest，单独和分组。分析结果表明，树干表面的“树皮线状画”、“堆画线”和“附加物（地线和花等）”是其主要的特征。“往往会受到行政程序方面的影响，这些绘画形式是团体测试的典型。因此，当我们提到这些绘画形式的解释时，我们必须根据这一发现来审查解释的有效性。因此，本研究强调了实施Baumtest程序的重要性。然而，一些问题有关的鲍姆测试的管理分析仍然存在，这必须在未来的研究中解决。我希望进一步发展这项研究，并从临床角度进行基础研究。

This study aims to examine the procedure (individual test vs. group test) used to administer the Baumtest (Koch's tree-drawing test) to apply the theoretical understanding of the test to clinical practice. To this end, I prepared a list of research works on the Baumtest written in Japanese between 1958 and 2009. In the present study, I examined the procedure used to administer the Baumtest in 176 research papers that analyzed the form of the Baum (tree) using indexes and indicated that the procedure used to administer the Baumtest had been neglected in previous research. Moreover, I pointed out the limitations in the previous quantitative research and proposed a new method (spotlight analysis) to arrive at a precise statistical analysis. Moreover, I administered the Baumtest to the study participants (n=48), individually and in a group. The result of my analysis showed that the "line-like drawing of the bark" on the surface of the trunk, "piled the drawing line," and "additions (ground line and flower etc.)" tend to be influenced by the aspect of the procedure of administration, and these forms of drawing are typical of the group test. Therefore, we must examine the validity of the interpretation on the basis of this finding when we refer to the interpretation of these forms of drawing. Thus, the present study highlighted the significance of the procedure of administering the Baumtest. However, a number of problems related to the analysis of the administration of the Baumtest persist, which must be resolved in future research. I wish to develop this study further and conduct fundamental research based on a clinical perspective.
