RAMOS, Carlos et al. Differences in the HTP projective test among university students belonging to complete and incomplete households. []. , 4, 2, pp.111-119. ISSN 1390-7697.  https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.26423/rctu.v4i2.184.

The graphic projective test HTP is a reagent widely used in psychological assessment. This is to ask the participants to draw a house, a tree and a person. This test has the theoretical assumption that the human in his drawings project unconscious aspects and features of his personality. In this research, we were interested in analyzing the differences in the projection of drawings by university students from two types of conditions: (a) families with separated parents and (b) families with parents together. The research methodology that we followed consisted of a quantitative and descriptive design. As result we found that participants belonging to the group of separated parents have higher latency and total time in performing the test, more oppositional trait, shyness and difficulty in establishing contact with other people. Participants in the group of parents together have higher level of guilt on manipulative activities. In conclusion, it is noted that each group has psychological characteristics that would be related to the status of their parent' relationship. As future research, we project to carry out a qualitative analysis of the speech of the participants to identify the meanings built around the relationship of their parents.
