Abstract ObjectiveTo develop a quantitative scoring system for the House-Tree-Person (H-T-P) test. MethodsBy literature review and expert consultation, preliminary evaluation items were defined. After pilot test, the scoring system for assessing depression were defined. A total of 216 cases of patients with depressive mood disorder from the Tong De hosptial of the Zhejiang Province were tested. The reliability and validity of a scoring system of house-tree-person test for depression were analyzed. ResultsThe scoring system of depression evaluation including 23 items and 5 factors, could explain 77.50% of the cumulative total variance. The split-half reliability of the system was 0.87 and 0.88, and the internal consistency reliability of the system was 0.81. The Kappa coefficient of each item was 0.71-0.89 (P<0.01). The standard validity of the scale was 0.65, and the criterion validity of each factor was 0.34-0.60 (P<0.01). The critical point of positive demarcation was 4, and the critical point of positive demarcation of each factor was 1. The Kappa value of the consistency test was 0.85 with the PHI Depression Inventory. ConclusionThis study demonstrates H-T-P scoring system has acceptable validity and internal consistency.
