Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mental state analysis method for analyzing a mental state relating to a human relationship of a subject, and a coloring tool used therefor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, by coloring in a prescribed figure such as a flower, a mountain, a human, or an animal, the color type, color scheme, and the method of applying the color selected by the subject (the subject who paints tightly,
There is known a method of analyzing the mental state of a subject from subjects who only paint around the subject, subjects who paint roughly. A profession that has years of experience and skills to perform such an analytical technique is called a color therapist. This color therapist interviews the subject as needed during the analysis,
He listens to his home environment, school enrollment, work environment, personality, etc., and helps him to make decisions.

[0003]

As described above, the conventional mental state analysis method employs a coloring method in which the type of color can be selected but the colored portion is fixed. for that reason,
There is no freedom to select the color-painted parts, and there is little material for determining mental state. As a result, if no interview with the subject is performed, the analysis accuracy is reduced. In addition, since no information can be obtained with respect to a person who is involved with the subject, the psychological state of the subject at that time can be analyzed, but the quality of the human relationship cannot be known. Further, even a color therapist must determine from a combination of a large number of colors, so that it takes time to produce an analysis result.
On the other hand, there is also a problem that securing and training color therapists who require skill and experience takes a lot of cost and time. For these reasons, conventional mental state analysis methods were difficult to use for mass screening.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and is a mental state analysis capable of analyzing the mental state of a subject relating to a human relationship simply, quickly, and accurately. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and a device to be used for coloring.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a method for analyzing a mental state according to the present invention comprises the steps of:
Specify the color that identifies the subject and the color that identifies the parties involved in the subject, and represent the subject by the subject on the screen of the tool to be colored in which multiple colored areas to be colored by the subject are set. The coloring area and the coloring area representing the person concerned are designated, and the subject colors the inside of the coloring area of the subject himself with the subject's own color, and the inside of the coloring area of the person concerned with the color of the person concerned, and then colors each. The configuration is such that the mental state of the subject is analyzed based on the arrangement of the coloring region of the subject himself / herself and / or the coloring region of the person concerned.

Further, in the above method, the mental state of the subject is analyzed based on the coloring order of the colored region of the subject himself and the coloring region of the person concerned, which are colored.

In each of the above methods, the mental state of the subject is analyzed based on the size of the colored region of the subject himself and the area of the colored region of the person concerned.

Further, in each of the above-mentioned methods, the outline shape of a plurality of coloring regions set on the screen of the tool to be colored represents a bubble.

[0009] The tool to be colored used in the mental state analysis method according to the present invention includes at least a colored region colored with a color that specifies the subject himself and a color that specifies a person who is involved in the subject. And a colored area to be set.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a coloring object used in a mental state analysis method according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, a coloring tool 1 according to this embodiment is made of, for example, a paper sheet or a synthetic resin sheet. The tool to be colored is not limited to the above-mentioned sheet, but may be a box or the like, and one surface of the box can be used as a screen. A coloring area R, R, R, R, R, R
R are set for printing. The contour shapes of these colored regions R, R, R,... Each represent the shape of a bubble. Near the lower side of the screen 2, a designated color display frame 4 in which a color specifying “subject” is painted, and a designated color display frame 5, 6 in which a color specifying “relevant person” associated with the subject are painted , 7 are set by printing.

Next, a method of analyzing the mental state of a subject by using the coloring tool having the above-described configuration will be described below. In this example, “self (school student)” is set as the “subject”, and “teacher”, “friendly friend”, and “unfriendly friend” are set as the “related persons” in FIG. The coloring tool 1a is used. With this coloring tool 1a, the mental state of a subject who has been in contact with a person during school life is analyzed.
In the analysis, a notice 10 shown in FIG. 2 is distributed to the subject. The precautionary note 10 describes the designation of a color that specifies a person, the contents of the order of painting the soap bubbles to be painted in the coloring area 3, and other precautions.

Therefore, the subject is asked to read the precautionary statement 10, and then the coloring tool 1a is subjected to a coloring operation with color crayons. The subject first designated “light blue” as a color identifying himself and painted it on the designated color display frame 4. Next, "purple" is designated as a color for specifying the teacher, and the designated color is displayed on the designated color display frame 5, and "yellow" is designated as the color for identifying a friend who is suitable for the teacher.
“Green” was designated as a color for identifying a friend who was not reluctant, and this was painted on the designated color display frame 7.

Subsequently, the subject designated a colored area R1 at the center of the coloring area 3 as a bubble to represent himself, and painted the colored area R1 with his own specific color, light blue. In this case, the subject separately painted the colored region R1 into a light blue colored portion C2 and a light colored blue portion C1. Next, the subject designated the coloring area R2 in the upper left of the coloring area 3 as a friend who is willing, and painted the coloring area R2 with a specific color yellow to form a colored part C3.
On the other hand, the colored area R1 is used to represent a friend who is disagreeable.
Is specified, and a specific color green is painted on the colored region R3 to form a colored portion C4. Note that the colored portion C4 was applied in a barb-like manner from the colored region R3. Finally, the colored area R is used to represent the teacher.
A colored region R4 in contact with No. 1 was designated, and this colored region R4 was painted with a specific color purple to form a colored portion C5. When the test subject colored these colored regions R1 to R4, the test subject displayed on the coloring region 3 near the colored regions R1 to R4 and the designated color display frame 4.
Below the numbers 7 to 7, the numbers 1 to 4 representing the coating order were entered.

After the coloring and writing of the tool 1a to be colored were completed as described above, the subject was asked to freely write the reason for selecting the color and the like in the impression form 11 shown in FIG. Then, the checker checks the already-colored utensil 1
a and the impression sheet 11 are collected, the coloring state of the tool 1a to be colored is observed, and a check mark (○) is placed in the column of the analysis sheet 12 in FIG.
And numbers. In the analysis form 12, in addition to the entry fields for the age, grade, and gender of the subject, "whether or not they participated in color painting", "whether or not they painted the central bubble".
"Who has painted the bubble in the center.""Which one has you painted? (1-4).""The distance between yourself and others (overlapping, near, medium, far)." , "Who is the biggest person in the bubble?", "Who is the smallest person in the bubble?", "Who has changed the shape from the bubble?" Who expressed negative impressions in the image associated with "?"
The check column for is set.

When the non-participation is checked in the analysis form 12 by "whether or not he / she participated in the coloring",
There is a tendency to not express themselves, to be closed, or to be rebellious and cold. "I did not paint in the center of the bubble or not." I checked whether I did not paint, because I do not have a central person, have the same power relationship, do not express myself, Often lacks confidence and self-denial. Those who check "Who painted the central bubble" often occupy a large image of the subject. The first person to apply in "Which order did you apply?" Implies that the person has the greatest influence. If you apply yourself last, you have less self-esteem. However, even if it is painted at the end, if you paint on the central bubble, you can express yourself, so this case will not be taken up as a problem. In "Distance between oneself and another person.", If a friend who doesn't like it is painted on a bubble that overlaps himself, it is possible to act together despite the disagreement. Strong nature. If you paint on a friend you don't like with "Who's the biggest soap bubble?", It suggests that you're heavily influenced.
Checking yourself with "Who is the smallest person in the bubble?" Suggests that your self-esteem is weak. Those who check "Who has changed the shape from the soap bubble?" Means that the person has a strong impact. "Who did you think of negative expressions with images associated with colors?"
Is judged from the description contents of the impression vote 11, but a check is made when a color specifying the person is described in a negative expression as compared with a normal color concept.

Then, the color application state of the tool 1a painted as shown in FIG. 3 is observed, but it is possible to analyze the outline only by arranging the colored region R1 of oneself. For example, it is conceivable that this test subject has a strong self-affirmation and is therefore self-centered because he or she paints himself on the central bubble. In this way, the psychological state of the subject who has painted himself, the teacher, and a good friend on the central bubble can be considered to be stable. In contrast, if you paint a friend who does not like the bubble in the center or if you do not paint anything on the bubble in the center, the subject's psychological state is dissatisfied, anxiety etc. appear, emotional instability, Appropriate counseling is often required.

On the other hand, since the arrangement of the coloring area R4 of the teacher and the coloring area R3 of the unfriendly friend is also located near the center, it is understood that their influence is quite strong. Further, since the coloring region R4 of the teacher overlaps with the coloring region R1 and is located behind the coloring region R1, the teacher implies that the teacher is watching and supporting himself as a backing. On the other hand, the fact that the coloring region R3 of the unfriendly friend overlaps with the own coloring region R1 indicates that the friend is unwilling but must be close. That is, it is determined that this subject is blessed with a teacher but not with a friend. However, the subject himself has a strong will, and his mental state seems to be relatively normal.

Incidentally, the subject described on the impression slip 11 as follows. Regarding "myself", "I chose light blue because it suits me best. Coloring the bubble in the middle of the coloring area 3 is because I still think about things by myself. I put on because I have a bright self and a dark self, and I don't show my dark self to others. "Regarding the teacher," I chose purple because I like my favorite color. The teachers were just good teachers, they always supported me,
I painted the place that supported me (behind me). ”And“ Friends who are good ”said,“ I thought that yellow was a color that matches my favorite light blue color, and I thought it was beautiful. "I chose green because I don't like my color. I'm a good child." Many of them were more reluctant, and they were all very smart and often hurt themselves, so they painted them in the form of splinters. " Since the contents described in the impression form 11 often coincide with the above-described observation results of the coloring tool 1a, the checker only observes the color application state of the coloring tool 1a, so It turns out that the subject's mental state can be analyzed with high accuracy.

On the other hand, the analysis form 12 shown in FIG. 5 has a column surrounded by a thick line frame. When a check mark is added or data with high importance is entered in this thick line frame,
It is an indicator that a problem exists or is about to arise in the subject's mental state. In the order of painting, the columns of yourself and unfriendly friends are also marked with bold lines, but this is only when you have painted yourself last or you have painted the unfriendly friend first. Applicable. Further, a case where the player overlaps with a friend who is not comfortable with himself / herself at a distance from himself / herself. Therefore, the human relationship of the test subject can be evaluated by counting the number of the thick-lined frame columns in which a check mark is attached or data with high importance is entered. For example, analysis form 1
In 2, the number of the corresponding thick line frame columns was two (distance, shape change). In this case, it is considered that the larger the number of corresponding thick-line frame columns, the more the problem is. However, since the self-painting is applied to the central bubble and the painting order is the first, the human relationship of this subject is temporarily a problem. It can be determined that there is no.

That is, according to this embodiment, the arrangement relationship (color position in the coloring area 3) of the colored regions R1 to R4 relating to oneself, a teacher, a good friend, and a bad friend, respectively, is colored. , Distance, overlap, etc.), the order of coloring, the size of the colored areas R1 to R4, the type of color, and the relationship between the person who painted the color and the like, are comprehensively considered. The human relationship of the subject is determined based on the subject. Therefore, the mental state relating to the human relationship of the subject can be analyzed simply, quickly, and with high accuracy of 60% or more. By the way, 6th grader 3
When 0 persons (16 boys and 14 girls) are inspected, it takes only 30 minutes from the collection of the colored tool 1a to reading through all of them and completing the check on each analysis form 12. It's a minute Further, even if the checker does not directly interview the subject, or even an inexperienced person, the analysis can be performed with high accuracy. Of course, a conventional method of performing mental state analysis based on the type of the colored color may be used in combination, and in that case, more versatile and highly accurate analysis can be performed.

In addition, since the outline shape of the colored region R is in the shape of a bubble that everyone knows well, large and small bubbles are slowly floating on the screen, and the bubbles overlap or separate from each other. I get the image as if it were. Therefore, the subject can easily enter the examination without preparation. Therefore, it is easy for the present one's own feelings to appear in a straightforward manner, and the person can be examined in a psychological state of everyday wear.

FIG. 6 shows a tool to be colored used for analyzing the mental state of another subject. This test subject is a sixth grader male student. Judging from the coloring tool 1a in FIG. 6, the bubble representing a friend who is willing to take care of is the largest colored region R1 in the center, indicating that the friend has a large influence. In addition, since the coloring regions R2 and R3 representing the teacher and oneself are arranged so as to overlap with the coloring region R1, it is possible to feel a desire to value a friend and a friend who are fit. On the other hand, the bubble that represents a friend who is not happy is a small colored area R4 in one corner, and it is possible to feel that the friend wants the friend to be as far away from himself as possible. The boy is said to be in a healthy sixth grade elemental state.

FIG. 7 shows a coloring tool used in the analysis of the mental state of another subject. The subject is a junior high school boy. Judging from the coloring tool 1a in FIG. 7, since the largest bubble at the center is not colored and a small one in one corner is designated as the coloring region R2 representing itself, self-expression is not good. Or self-negative. In addition, the friend and the teacher who do not agree with each other are placed as far as possible from themselves, and the colored portions C3 and C
In No. 4, since the coloring regions R3 and R4 are painted so as to protrude or be sharpened, a feeling of disgust for a friend and a teacher who do not fit is felt.

Although the above-described colored articles 1 and 1a are made of paper sheets in which colored areas R, R,... On the screen 2 are set by printing, etc. The coloring tools are not limited to them. For example, a display 22 which is a component of the personal computer 20 as shown in FIG. 8 is also included in the concept of the tool to be colored according to the present invention. Further, the colored regions Ra, Ra,... Displayed in the display portion 26 of the screen 25 of the display 22 in the form of a bubble are also included in the concept of the colored region according to the present invention. This personal computer 20 has a CPU
And the display 2
2 and a mouse 23 or a keyboard 24 for inputting data, and configured to analyze the mental state of the subject. According to the personal computer 20, the subject can use the mouse 23 and the keyboard 24 to specify a person and a color and a coloring area Ra to be colored. In addition, the check calculation, the counting of the bold frame box, the calculation of the score, and the like in the analysis form 12 described above can be automatically executed. In addition, storing the operation data in the storage device can be effectively used for later statistical processing.

In the above embodiment, teachers and friends are shown as "related persons" by taking human relations in schools as an example, but the mental state analysis method of the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, regarding human relationships in companies, government offices, hospitals, nursing homes, homes, club activities, teams, orchestras, etc., `` related parties '' such as bosses, colleagues, subordinates, doctors, nurses, helpers, care recipients, Father, mother,
It is possible to analyze the human relationships of the subjects with respect to siblings and sisters, and it is also possible to detect bullying and sexual harassment. Further, the outline shape of a plurality of coloring regions set on the screen of the coloring tool is not limited to the above-described bubble. For example, it is arbitrary, such as □, □, Δ, other shapes, or the outline of a character.

[0026]

As described above in detail, according to the mental condition analysis method of the present invention, the subject's own colored region and / or the related person, which are colored with the color representing the subject himself, are displayed on the screen of the coloring object. The human relationship of the subject is determined based on the arrangement of the colored regions of the related persons colored with the color to be displayed.
Therefore, the mental state of the subject relating to the human relationship can be simply and quickly analyzed, and the present psychological state of the subject can be grasped.

In addition to the analysis based on only the arrangement of the colored regions described above, when the coloring order of the colored region of the subject himself and the colored region of the related person or the size of the colored region is considered. , From a broad perspective. Therefore, the mental state of the subject can be analyzed with higher accuracy.

When the outline of a plurality of coloring regions set on the screen of the tool to be colored is represented by a bubble, it is easy for the subject to enter the examination without holding his body. Therefore, the present state of mind is easily expressed in a straightforward manner, and the examination can be performed in a state of mind of everyday wear.

Furthermore, since the coloring device for mental state analysis according to the present invention has only the coloring region for the subject and the coloring region for the related persons set on the screen, it is particularly configured for a sheet-like device. Is simple and inexpensive, easy to use, and easy to distribute and collect. That is, it can be suitably used for mass screening.
